Hello World (An Introduction)

Welcome, Internet, to the first spin-off of Kyle's Magic Blog, hopefully this will be the Colbert Report to MB's Daily Show, and not Important Things with Demetri Martin. (Which was doomed to failure because Demetri is 30-freaking-5).

Regular readers of KMB (everyone) may know that I like sports, I write about them from time to time, mostly about baseball, and mostly about my high school dominance on the pitching rubber. (ERA: 3.18 Opponent's BA: 219 BB:13 K: 26 Record: 5-0, I plan to send these stats to Cecil Cooper in hopes of replacing Russ Ortiz in the rotation).

But, I like sports and athletes other than the ones I am involved in, mostly because I am not very good at anything athletic. I am good, however, at watching sports and critiquing the performance of people paid much more money than me. So, with that background, I have begun this new blog, where I will probable cover the following teams.







For the present time, you will see mostly coverage of the mighty Astros of Houston, because it is baseball season, and despite my jinxing their last two games with a "surge" twitter (and one of the most abhorrent starting rotations in all of baseball) I believe they will make a good second half run in a fairly weak NL Central.

Pre-season football also starts in two weeks, so I will be amping up for that soon, as well as potential discussions about my dominating fantasy team (The Magical Wizards).

I expect that, as college football (my favorite sport) starts, and the Astros inevitably choke in the playoffs, my coverage will lean pretty heavily to the Longhorns and other Big XII teams, as well as other favored CFB topics, including, but not limited to, Erin Andrews, Jorts, the joke that is the Pac-10, and Herbie's prowess with young co-eds.

In addition to promoting the exploits of the teams I enjoy, I will also take many opportunities to denigrate teams that I dislike. (Take that region that is different than the one I am in/support!).







I felt that I should let you readers know where my loyalties lie, not getting caught up in the assumption that, being from West Texas, I will cheer for the debacle in Dallas or the baseball team that has won all of one playoff game in its entire existence.

I suspect the majority of my snark will be directed at these brave soldiers, defending their hallowed halls from liberal ideas, colored people, and pretty girls.

  1. are you serious? why are you besmirching the hallowed name of the mighty texas aggies.
    also......you conveniently forgot to mention how many titles professional Houston football teams have between them. how many is it? is it 5? no. also im sad to see you are not covering any MLB (AL) teams.
