And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

I'm not getting the reference ...

One of the regulars at my local sports bar in Atlanta was named Mark Reynolds
But everyone called him “Beans” for some reason. During the 2007 LDS, every time the Diamondback Reynolds would do something good, he’d hear a chorus of, “Dammit, Beans! Quit that shit!”

This season is sure ending well!
At least management won’t have any of that false hope laying around. This team has already gone home and looks terrible vs supposedly worse teams.
Well maybe the team has just caught up with Lou who quit 3 months ago.
Will they even win another game?
