I think Downs was mic’d up at the time, too.

I’m wearing a cup right now. One never can be too careful.

I feel prickishly demanding!

I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

Another comma would have helped there.

But I like the serial comma! AP style needs to suck it. And then it needs to do two other things so I can describe it using a serial comma.

So that I can use a serial comma while describing what it did.

If Matt Downs laid all the ladies, the Letter2 and myself, end to end, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.
