Not much is except maybe lobster

Yeah but always fun new things : ) 

6:48PM Sassy
Especially with you
6:48PM Phil
Ha! 
6:55PM Sassy
I’ll huddle with you… and let you tackle me.
7:03PM Phil

7:04PM Sassy
Nah… if you’re tackling me I get to wear nothing.
Just ordered dinner delivered.  Gonna have some more nachos.

Fun stuff about Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly coming back from the DL with an incredible 1 hit performance! But what is this about Cleveland walking Jackie Bradley Jr intentionally TWICE when he’s trying to extend a 25-game hitting streak? I guess I get it from a “he’s too dangerous to let hit” coaching decision… but it’s crappy. He got a hit later on anyway. GO JBJ!
