That goes against Shelty and Ben's strategy.

I was going to leave the room for a moment but decided to stick around in case Bart hit a HR.

Bart hit a HR! 1-0.

Going to need a little help here. For some reason I don't completely remember

Money is usually the right answer. They dealt him on Christmas Eve.

Game delayed by rain.
