You've obviously never experienced the feeling of improved ion alignment.
Phiten® Titanium products promote pain relief and performance enhancement. Titanium emits energy that is effective in controlling the flow of bioelectric current. When this current is stabilized, the muscles relax and blood circulation increases, allowing for easier movement and pain relief. All Phiten® products help relieve pain in muscles and joints by improving the alignment of ions, especially at the body’s crucial motor points. Our product is also effective in the temporary relief of pain from bursitis, sciatica, tendonitis, certain types of arthritis and numberous other conditions.

Does me jumping in late cause a jinx?

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

No, we did that all by ourselves.

Seemed like kind of a late replacement.

But I don’t know much about Garza, maybe he’s good for 115 pitches usually.

David Arias

If you're still going to be bitter about that at least get the circumstances correct.
