The time has come for the return of The Penske File...sort of. First of all, I'm making a new site that will have the standings posted for my Home Run Pool. As of 6/5 I'm in 3rd place, one out of the lead. I'm one of nine people (the pool is made up of 11 relatives or family friends) within 9 home runs of each other. Also, I have 5 injured players right now (Ordonez, Chavez, Jones, Everett, Klesko). Things aren't looking good, but stragner things have happened. The link for this site is here. In case you're curious about my picks and how they're doing, they are as follows:
The top 8 are counted, so Everett and Klesko aren't killing me yet. All I need is for Barry Bonds to get some more pitches to hit and I think I'll turn out alright, especially since the guys I'm trailing have some injuries (Glaus, Sosa, Sexson).
In other news, in my last week at UConn (which I just graduated from by the way) I had one more article printed in The Daily Campus. I reviewed Black Label Society's new CD, Hangover Music Volume VI. I'm a big fan of Zakk Wylde, and of this disc in particular, but rather than elaborating, I'll post the link here. I'm hoping to get some more reviews in next year as a grad student, we'll see how much time I have.
There may be more in The Penske File soon, no promises though. I do have plenty of free time, its just a matter of whether I have anything to write about, the motivation to write, and if I retained any of my audience from a few months ago.

1 (1) Barry Bonds - 15
2 (22) Magglio Ordonez - 8
