He's the best I've ever seen. I always said you need four things to be a great pitcher -- location, movement, velocity, and deception. He's got all those. Now, you add the intelligence he brings to the mound and we're not talking about a mere mortal here.
By some estimates, we think we're a few years overdue for at least a 6.5 magnitude earthquake.
I'm not suggesting he's an alcoholic because I have no way of knowing that,
In season, to get from North Fort Myers to Fort Myers Beach can easily take two hours and you are stuck in traffic most of the time, ... It's a nightmare. Plus, don't forget you have to pay for parking and the bridge toll if you go to Sanibel. On the boat you can see dolphins, manatees and other wildlife you may never see in a car.

There is a peace deep within myself from knowing that all things are held within and sustained by the love of God.
If you can't run, and the plays in front of you, you just can't get gay.
