Morning Baseball Vol Nation

I can get the more than 3 movie reviews written today without spoilers because I see I do not work on the middle day of weekdays.

Wednesday the day before Thursday which is the same day that people are very happy about because they know the day after Thursday is Friday.

The Lions might make the Playoffs however I assume you are not overreacting to these terrific favorable odds to that they could win the Super Bowl because like the Chargers, Sharks, Clippers, Atlanta Falcons, etc they’ve found ways to disappoint despite having stacked talented teams that realistically could win Championships meaning Super Bowls, the Stanley Cup, or a NBA title.
