''I was staying no matter what,'' Wassermann said.

I believe this is the real story!
I heard Cowley on the score yesterday, and he basically said that all of MacDougals teammates hate him, because he's
"odd" in the clubhouse. I'm going to say he must be pretty f***ing "odd" if this group of nutjobs thinks he's "odd."
