That's too much sloppy fielding to beat the Yankees with their season on the line.

why am i watching this from a firkin in midtown

This was the extent of the information I was able to get out of CRA on this issue a few years ago after a lengthy delay This needs to be addressed by parliament because as it stands, the federal government is effectively giving convicted criminals tax breaks to fund their legal battles:
