Real nice win.

Just a good win for the Cubs tonight. I’m going to stay up for a while and see if Bradley’s ball lands before sunrise.

Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.

How quaint. Did your cow win a ribbon or anything ?

Partially

I teach my class real postively.

I was taught that in dog training, jerk is a noun not a verb.

So I try to keep the classes really fun.

Dome's 3 were:

Double, double, single.

And Clutche was exposed as a DB.
