Thank you, in advance, for shifting
If we are losing in the third, see if you can get him to do the whole, “pick ourselves up..dust ourselves off,” thing over the PA system.
He should come to the game. The only organization that’s made any progress in this town since 2004 has been the Caps… we’ll show him how it’s done in DC.
