The Pecan Park Eagle

If the drought continues, is this the future landscape of Houston?

Into each life – some rain must fall,

Unless you’re in Houston – and get none at all.

Break the drought spell soon – is our plaintive wet call,

Our thoughts in dry Houston – have just hit the wall.

Cry me a river – Take me on a sea cruise,

I never felt more like – singing’ the blues,

I’ll take Stormy Monday – it’s the day that I choose,

To bring down the rain – on my blue suede shoes.

In the meanwhile, while we are waiting for the rain, how about a little simulation series on APBA BASEBALL to slightly help break the  monotony of meaningless Astros baseball games. Starting tomorrow, The Pecan Park Eagle will replay the 2005 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Chicago White Sox.

The Series will be played in real-time, one game at a time, starting Thursday, July 7th. That game will be reported here, with box score, on Friday, July 8th. It’s a best four game of seven series, so, barring a rain out in Chicago, the whole thing will consume the next four to seven columns in this little corner of the wired world, starting July 8th.

My apologies with a plea for patience from our non-baseball fan readers. Chalk it up to “BASEBALL NERD WEEK” at The Pecan Park Eagle and come back here soon. We also have some non-baseball subjects lined up for the near future.
