WORST DAY EVER,

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...

by EnglishMariner on Mar 31, 2008 4:19 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I now wish last opening day never happened.

Because it can never be beaten, which is why being 1-0 after 2 innings is hurting so much already.

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...
