A LOVE STORY
Barry Laminack: A Valentine's Day letter to my one true love

Valentine's Day is for love...and this one is Barry's. Wikipedia
I love you. I've always loved you.
From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew we would be together forever. I knew I didn't want anything in my life but you.
My mom said we’d grow apart one day. She was wrong. I love you now more than I ever have.
When I wake up in the morning, I think about you.
Throughout the day, I think about you.
When I lay in bed at night, you’re all I think about.
I can't get you off my mind. I talk about you all day long. My friends and co-workers are sick of hearing about you, but I don’t care.
Nothing can stop the love I have for you, not even my wife.
I wish I could tell my her all about us, but she doesn’t understand. She’s jealous of us and what we have together.
Some people don't understand why I love you so much, and that's fine. They don't know you like I know you, they don't love you like I love you, and they haven't seen what we've been through together.
And sure I watch you with other men, but it doesn't bother me because I need you in my life so bad that I'm willing to share you with those other guys.
You make me feel so alive.
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me angry, and I wouldn't trade any of that for the world, because most importantly you make me happy.
And I don’t care if you have balls, use a stick, or when it gets weird and it’s just your hands or feet, I love you for you.
So thank you for always being there for me.
I love you sports.
PS: I'm sorry I cheat on you sometimes with video games.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
