We're Soooooo Happy It's Friday!

A challenging but generally cheerful week for us – except for yesterday's bullpen implosion and an even worse blow to the top of the line-up. [related sound effects: angry muttering followed by deflated sigh].  But still, it's Friday, the sun is out, and we've got some jobs for you.  Enjoy.
