"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Hello everyone.
Just got back from whuppin up on the undergrads at the gym. I’m like Mark Madsen and Vlade Divac combined into one 26 year old man skill set. All I need is knee pads, but at least the little 19 year old kids with shaved chests and fake tans get a good elbow to the face every once in a while. What have I missed?

games going super fast. only offense is homeruns
marshall pitching well
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
Marshall good.
Bradley and Fontenot went back-to-back in the 5th.

Good pitching by Marshall
"I owe [Dunston] a lot. Nobody would know how good I was at digging balls out of the dirt if it wasn't for him..." -Mark Grace
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
all you need is kneepads, huh?
Bradley and Fonty went yard back to back. Marshall is dealing, with some good doubleplays behind him. Sori threw out a runner trying to stretch a single, Hill threw out a runner trying to steal.
We’re doing pretty good.

I keep switching btwn the Bulls & B.hawks and all I see is the Hawks short-handed

Meanwhile, Bulls back to within 2
