the rays, the bulls
weird.  What do we think the artist was trying to accomplish here?   anyway, the bulls have been posting boring football scores of late and stand atop the international league’s north division.  However, the team has failed to knock the mascot off his go kart during his drive around the stadium but are getting closer each day.   Tonight, 6’9 272 lbs 1B Ryan Shealy, who has...
