Thanks Rassler! I had not heard that one, and it maybe the best quote from a man with many, many great quotes! And Cruiser I know nobody was taking digs at the kid! I just wanted everyone to understand how young this brave boy is! His poor parents took enough crap from the people in the stands they don't need to read it here and re-live the whole thing! And by the way can you check and see if 9 seconds is a new state record for a two consecutive match total?
