Yes, the 2007 season was like a roller coaster ride for Roger and his fans, but the high points outweigh the low points. It was a pleasure to follow and report on Roger’s progress throughout this season. This was the first year for my blog, and I appreciate all the readers who have made this site a success in its first year. I am looking forward to doing the same for the 2008 season.
