cause fans knocking late night people reasons sacrifice school season stay time type year
The reasons why the fans aren't out here are the type of season we've had, the time of year it is, not in the race, knocking on 100 losses. I think that's why people are not going to make the sacrifice to stay up late on a school night cause it is not real meaningful.

He's got the most exciting arm in camp.
exactly miss opposite pounding
He didn't miss it. Everything was down to Damon. We had been pounding Jeter in all day, so we wanted to go down and away with the splitter. Instead, it was up - exactly the opposite of where we wanted it.
