both good hard hopefully time
Yeah, I think it could have been worse, without a doubt. After the MRIs, hopefully we're going to get good news. It's going to be hard to keep both of us out of the lineup. This time of year, it's hard to keep us out.
blood expected guys smell
When those guys have the lead, they smell blood. No one expected anything from us.
