Speed and defense! You know you want to watch speed and defense! Come watch the speedy fast gamer defense defenders!*
*Warning: Speed does not apply to all players. If a player is playing in the field, then he is technically a part of the defense. Claims of speed do not prevent runners getting thrown out at home. Calling someone a gamer does not imply any sort of quality.
