It's been awhile but the World of KK is back. Battling a bit of a flu bug this afternoon and watching the Pirates. Guaranteed this will NOT make me feel better. Anyway, the summer is alive in Chicago and there is lots going on. Festivals, music, ribs and greek food just to name a few. I was happy to see the Blackhawks beat the hated Flyers but am happy that it's all over now and I can look forward to a new Penguins campaign in the brand new Consol Energy Center. I look forward to catching a game there this year.
Back to the Pirates, it's bad and getting worse, as usual. But, at least this year, we will get to see a glimpse of the future in such talented prospects like Brad Lincoln and Jose Tabata (pictured). Super prospect Pedro Alvarez is expected to be recalled soon, perhaps as early as this week. He will bring a much-needed power bat to this anemic offense. I look for John Russell to be fired as the Coonellly-Huntington regime will need a fall guy if Huntington is to save his job, which is no guarantee. I will offer great props on a fantastic MLB draft for the Pirates regime. Now, we'll see if they can sign these kids.
Finally, I am not a soccer fan. Never have been and probably never will be. But I do always enjoy watching Team USA. No matter what, it's fun to take in a sporting event amongst the masses knowing that everyone is rooting for the same team. I wish the U.S. squad the best of luck. That said, I won't lose any sleep over the World Cup.
Headed home in July for a few days to see my parents and accept my election to the Clarion University Alumni Board of Directors. I appreciate the nomination and election and will certainly do my best to help my school. In addition, I'll carry on my dad's legacy as he served on the board for 8 years.
Looking forward to training camp soon!

Congratulations on your election to the Clarion Alumni Board, Kraig. I believe in helping those who helped us along the way, including our schools. It's pretty neat that your father was on the Board before you.
Well done!
Thanks very much, Lee. Support from folks like yourself along the way has been greatly appreciated and has taught me a lot.
