Koch to Oddo ALL DAY.
How did Hanlon end up with both Vito Lopez AND Diana Reyna, not to mention the BTCC? This smells like an introduction to a "winners" and "losers" column tomorrow.
Gentile - Golden is another seemingly incongruous pairing on my squad. But the bottom line is this: I'm not asking them to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya." I'm asking them to win football games.
