Adam Rosales drops a pop up

My A’s have been struggling lately. They recently released Adam Rosales, pictured above missing a usual out earlier this year. The Texas Rangers then picked him up but he didn’t actually play for them before they cut him. The A’s then signed him again only to release him again. Believe it or not, the Rangers then claimed him again! The poor guy seems to be in limbo. I always liked his hustle.

Another disadvantage (for the offense) of playing rugby in prom dresses is there is a lot more to grab onto.

If you thought playing rugby in a prom dress would be difficult, try running in a prom dress when the grass is about six inches too long too.
