Meh, good game to watch
At least Sori’s on
It’s also nice to see Theriot be clutch AGAIN (I love that guy)
As well as Lieber.
We’ll get them tomorrow, later all.

Marmol and Z are not themselves today. Everybody but the big three in the middle are doing there jobs. We will have to get it done tomorrow. Fun game though.

Good game overall. The Bucs deserved to win. The Cubs, if they had come back, would have deserved it, too.
Fun game to watch.
