Petchesky has the weekends off.

you’re right, but Miller’s not wrong entirely. Griffin will never be called for that technique, he’s done that on so many ‘posters’.

I used to really enjoy him, but now I honestly don’t know whether he’s lost his fastball (easy to do when you’ve been doing it so long) or I’ve just grown up.

Lake Michigan does not have a beach.

I’d love to have him here! He’d need to take about a 98 percent pay cut though.
