Go Moose

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Joe brings in Mo

I am really hoping that Rivera can close this game out without allowing another run. I want Moose to win 20 so bad, if anyone deserves it, it’s Moose.
