This game I played over the board today, I got thoroughly crushed by a uscf master... its not every day you get to play someone so much better than you!  The ratings difference means that I should win worse than 1 out of 100 points off this guy, so I'm ok with the outcome. 
Any thoughts you may have about the game would be appreciated.
(note the game says Tyler vs Mike, it should read Mike is white, vs Tyler is black.)

When I play this as White, I usually see 7...Qb6 instead of 7...f6.

@paulgottlieb you are right about 20. Qd3, didn't think about that.

@billwall, thanks for the game.  I think I've seen the main line in the past is something like 7...Qb6 8.Nf3 cxd4 9.cxd4 f6 10.exf6 Nxf6 11.O-O Bd6... I can't remember from here, maybe b3 O-O Nf4?  I play something like that online alot.  I find the pressure against my king unpleasant, hence my hope to castle queenside (which works quite well in blitz games).

@rich hence the note below the game.  I didn't want to have to redo the board.
