It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

i think we’ll be ok

2 or 3 gunman opened fire at Ft. Hook with M16’s they believe. It’s still kinda sketchy because one or two of them are either cornered or still at large.

Breaking Rangers News

New Hitting Coach: Jiminy Glick. He can’t be pleased with that photograph. It makes my driver license photo look like Tom Brady in one of those Stetson ads.
