Typically, when I'm going through any given Minor Lines, I get a pretty good idea of whether it was a good day or a bad day. Oddly, despite the losses throughout the system yesterday--typically a bad sign as you might imagine--these actually seem to be pretty decent, generally.
But maybe I just can't get over Ryan Lavarnway? Who's to say?
