The Bel-train Has Left the Station
July 27th, 2011 by slangon

So the Beltran Watch is over. He’s gone. From what I hear, the kid they got for him, Zach Wheeler, is supposed to be pretty good, so I guess that’s cool. Personally, I’m a bit bummed by the whole thing. I mean, using my head I completely understand why the trade was made. Using my […]
