I know that win was relatively meaningless standings-wise, but it sure felt good.
Just reinforces that this team can beat anyone, anywhere, regardless of the situation.
Onward ho, into the playoffs!

The best defense is a good offense
My fear
is that Howry may just have pitched his way onto the playoff roster. Which kinda makes my stomach hurt.
Ok I need an injury update
