breaking looked panicked run saw taught threw
You're taught to run at him every time. I panicked and threw the ball. I looked up and saw Rollins breaking and I threw the ball.
ball error gave hard rattled runs seen three tough understand worse
They gave him an error on that? That was a tough play. The ball was going away from him. How we were able to get three runs in that inning was hard to understand for us. But I don't think he was rattled after that play. When you're a closer, you've probably seen worse things that that.

ball base flying job maybe partly running second stop
I couldn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It's partly my job to stop the running game. Maybe I'm tipping off something in my setup. I have to keep them from flying all over the place.
ball base job maybe partly running second setup stop success
It was a frustrating day for me personally. I didn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It was partly my job to stop the running game, and I didn't have any success doing that. Maybe there's something I'm tipping off in my setup to keep him from running all over the place.

When the e-mail was down after that power outage, it was awful because I had three classes for which I had to do online assignments. I was literally sitting there for hours waiting, checking every 15 minutes to see if it was working.
abject arc based guilt joy lover man matter moon moves piece poem power pregnant raise sorrow stay string tells walks women
This string sextet by Schoenberg is based on a Viennese poem in which a women walks with her lover under the moon and confesses that she is pregnant by another man. The man tells his love he will stay with her no matter what and raise the child. The arc of the piece moves from abject sorrow and guilt to joy and underscores the transformative power of love and commitment.

We have a lot to prove early, and we have a lot of work to do early. To get to where we need to go, we can't afford a slow start.

We are hoping to get in there today, but that's the issue - getting there.

We're going to need a miracle now to stay in this thing. I believe in those, but it's definitely frustrating realizing how good of a team we have and how we've fallen short.
