…and you better have a good excuse. He’s embarrassed. Don’t give him that you had to work, or you had to attend a school function for your son or daughter, or that you simply can’t afford to go to every possible playoff-clinching game until they actually score some runs to win. View DAVIDprice14’s tweet I’ll [...]
