How sweet is it to see Nyjo make the last out and get picked off? What a cornerstone

The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.

Fun game

Enjoyed the new line-up because it seemed like they played pretty loose… no pressure anymore :P

I'm droppin' flava, my behavior is hereditary--but my technique is very necessary.

I agree

Good amount of youth that can grow and build a strong team together

Can we trade the postgame guys too? I doubt they would get claimed off the waivers. I loved that shot they just showed with the guys celebrating together, especially after all the complaints about all the great guys in the locker room are gone
