I'm the editor of SB Nation's Rockets blog, The Dream Shake. In my spare time, I'm a broadcast journalism major at the University of Missouri. I'm also minoring in sociology, but I'm not sure why.
Missourians don't take very well to Houston sports. That said, they won't hesitate to tell me where they were when Albert Pujols turned Brad Lidge into his personal Initech fax machine.
E-mail me with any questions, comments or the contact information for the guy currently hogging the @Tom_Martin Twitter account.

"What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen.
And he'll get all the great women."
