D-backs’ undefeated run vs. Giants ends as Gallen searches for answers
“Zac was really good for the early parts of this game,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “I thought he was driving his fastball into the right parts of the zone.”
Said Gallen, “I felt like we were pretty much in control.”
……………………………………………………….
“I think I had said a while back, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good in this game,” Gallen said. “Like, right now I’m on neither side of the coin, so it’s kind of frustrating. I felt like any time I made a mistake, the ball was [hit] for damage or leaving the ballpark.”

Soda fountain workers were called soda jerks
The workers were called soda jerks because of the jerking motion used to pump soda water.
The holes in spaghetti spoons have a purpose.
The single, circular hole in the middle of pasta spoons isn’t just for draining. It is actually a measure for the serving size of spaghetti. The amount of dry spaghetti that fits snug in the hole counts as one serving.
