I’ve said it throughout this whole year, we do not have a set lineup. Some guys play more than others. But, you know, man, 1 through 26 — doesn’t matter who we put in there, we’ve had guys that have produced throughout this whole year, we never relied on one person. There’s a new hero any given day. I think that is just what makes us so fun and dangerous.
