And let it not be forgotten in the Edwin Diaz saga that I thought last night's game for the match was very, very important.

They won yet another series. They've been on fire since whatever you want to call at the team meeting

Well, that's the real Carlos Redam.

The guy from the first two months, fraud!

Am I supposed to believe that Louise Heel is now damaged goods?

Am I supposed to believe that? Am I supposed to believe
