God the ESPN guys acted like this game didn't exist...they were all about the game Wednesday at Yankee stadium but didn't even mention today. I thought it was an off day.

Cool! as my granddaughter would say

Always remember: whatever is said or shown on ESPN has to do with what else is on ESPN.
They didn't mention today's game because they're not televising today's game. But don't forget to tune in on Wednesday.
pssst, there'll be another game on Thursday but don't expect them to mention it during Wednesday's telecast.

I have shot a variety of guns. At one point when he was in the coast guard my father was in charge of a firing range. I was rather young, maybe 11,12. I shot an M-16 one time. They put two sandbags on my shoulder for the recoil. I was not allowed to use rapid fire. Guns didn't seem that loud to me, at least outdoors, which was the case w/this range. Kinda like firecracker or an ashcan loud, which I was familiar with. Pop, pop, pop

I guess indoors it's real loud.


Shit. Well, it's only one run.
