Consider the source

In: Op-ed, Sports

Last week St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in an accident where he was two times the legal limit, talking on the phone, and had marijuana in the car.

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above.
