Go Perkins' neck beard

At least cano doesnt bunt

Too d@%#n interesting!

No kidding, can't they win it in 24 outs?

Way to bounce back Perk, and GREAT job by Kurt Klutch blocking that one in the dirt with the guy on third!

Just made it back to .500, so might not be time for rehab yet...

That should please the rubberband man.

 

Yup. Hooray for 500!
