The next day we beat Tampa 3-0, but it’s funny because it’s now a team saying.

Funny Story: We were playing mini tennis at practice one day and one of the guys lost. The punishment for losing is that you had to stand chest facing the fence while players take turns aiming for you with a tennis ball. He was hit in the calf but it was funny because he was the biggest guy on the team and acted like the biggest baby about it. I’m pretty sure he sat out of practice for at least two days, such a baby.
