Funny thing...before my game, my dog, titan and I always play fetch with one of his many balls. Today, I got the green one but for some reason he would not touch it..thought it was bad omen..5 tries...zip...he would only play with red white and blue ball..bullets colors..thought we were doomed..in hindsight, Titan was telling me, bullets are gonna shoot blanks and they are toast..worthy of my saliva! Green ball not moving til we win #18..
