Feel ? What does what "I" feel have to do with end results? Ok, I will let the end results say how I feel and grade accordingly.
Bob Castellini? Well, I am just feeling overwhelmed with love, joy and positive anticipation, like a kid waiting for ones parents to tell them on Christmas that we are too poor to celebrate. When they wrap up the same old tie from season to season and try to put a new face and spin on it. Here's your new bone kid, now go play with the dog.

Baker, speed kills when misapplied in the wrong hands, when they ignore OBP with their love for a theory in a Patterson and Taveras

Let's not let my feelings get in the way of what we have known and seen. Even paid for.

Oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming i feel,
And so pretty that I hardly beleive im real,
Jack Nicholson: lalalalalalala,
