Dario finished the game with 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
They don’t nearly have the ability of the 2008 Phillies yet, but they already rival those guy in likability. They’re impossible to dislike, until the front office gets involved.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
