a follow up of the events of Thursdays game
A star has sparked his shine and glory in one of the biggest and best games of the whole season. David Parrett shone inside the playground within its first minutes.
Fans declared that David Parrett is now officially in and they are counting on him in this game.
David Parretts performance was distinctively amazing especially in the first run of the game. However, his performance was credited in the second run of the game when he shoed his efficiency in being a hitter and a leader.
upon his direction, the catcher went 2-for-4 with three RBIs in a 7-5 win.
Johnny Manziels agent sent a text to the AP obviously meant for someone else about his concerns over if his client ever had to take a p**s test. Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle, the attorney wrote, among other things. He claims it was a mistake and threatened to sue if the AP published the info.
In Johnnys defense, he was probably pretty loaded when he hired this guy.

The gold price today (Friday, June 24) rocketed past the $1,300 mark after the results of the Brexit vote sent global markets into a wild tailspin.
As of 1:35 p.m., gold prices were up 4.6% to $1,321.10. That puts the yellow metal on track for its largest one-day gain since February and its highest close since August 2014.
The results of the UK referendum are now clear Britain has voted to leave the EU. And while the price of gold is benefiting the most from the controversial decision, markets around the world are in turmoil.
European markets all plunged on the news. The UK"s main stock index, the FTSE 100, fell 3.2% on the day, while Germany"s and France"s main indices were down 6.8% and 8%, respectively. Here in the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 2.8%.
It"s clear the Brexit will be all everybody talks about in the coming weeks. Today, I"m going to discuss where we can expect gold prices to move in the wake of this massive frenzy.
First, here"s a recap of the gold price"s wild week
Gold Price Today Soars Following Lackluster Week
The price of gold kicked this past week off with a session of volatility. On Monday, June 20, prices fell 0.1% to close at $1,290.
Gold"s headwinds blew even stronger the following day. The metal immediately dropped by nearly $20 to $1,271 when markets opened. Gold prices eventually closed at $1,268 and logged a loss of 1.7%.
Wednesday was more of the same, though less dramatic. Gold traded flat throughout the day and closed just 0.2% lower at $1,266.
For comparison, here"s how the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been trading this week
Notice how both the price of gold and the U.S. dollar declined on Wednesday. Remember, this kind of short-term behavior where both move in tandem is not typical.
This pointed toward an easing of fear regarding the likeliness of the Brexit vote producing a win for the "Leave" side.
Yesterday, the polls opened and British citizens voted on whether or not their country would leave the EU. During the day, gold prices trended lower and closed at $1,263.10 for a 0.2% loss. Again, this movement showed how investors were anticipating the country to remain in the bloc.
Then, the UK shocked the world with a Brexit, sending the gold price today to its highest level since 2014.
With today"s rally, investors want to know if gold prices will maintain these gains in the coming months.
Here"s my specific gold price target following the Brexit results
Despite the Rise in the Gold Price Today, This Is Where It"s Headed

dollar to euro The British pound to dollar conversion rate suffered a significant fall after foreign exchange markets reacted strongly to the shocking news of a Brexit. Where next for the GBP to USD in today"s exchange rate forecasts?
The pound to dollar rate is -6.13 pct lower at 1.36 (today"s range high saw 1.49).
As British Prime Minister David Cameron resigned following the UKs vote to exit the EU, the GBP/USD spot rate plunged to historic lows amid major uncertainty.
Additional damage to the British pound was dealt by the prospect of a second Scottish independence referendum rising.
"Fundamentally, the GBP looks fairly unattractive this morning and we think downside risks remain significant. The only saving grace for the GBP this morning is the pummeling it got overnight, falling nearly 12% from peak to trough. That may limit immediate downside pressure on the pound but losses are liable to extend in the next few weeks" ScotiabankOther Foreign Exchange NewsLatest Pound/Dollar Exchange RatesOn Saturday the Euro to US Dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) converts at 1.111

Polls from IPSOS MORI and Populus placed the Remain campaign in the lead, adding weight to markets confidence in the outcome of todays vote.
As the IMF also announced that it had lowered its 2016 forecast for US GDP the GBP/USD exchange rate rallied strongly, pushing towards a fresh multi-month high
Somewhat unexpectedly the GBP to USD exchange rate surged to its best level since January in the wake of the IMFs decision to lower its growth forecast for the US.
With the final opinion polls also putting the Remain campaign in the lead the impact of Brexit uncertainty on the currency pair was generally minimal on Thursday morning.
In a largely expected development, the Pound has been volatile against the US Dollar and most other peers today, on account of the day of the EU Referendum vote finally arriving.
The latest opinion polls have been mixed; Comres and YouGovs latest releases have put Remain in the lead, while TNSs contribution instead saw Leave carrying the vote.
Whether daily news has much impact on the Pounds appeal remains to be seen; although flooding in London has been reported, this may not be enough to dissuade voters or noticeable affect the outcome.
Turbulence in Store for Sterling over Next 24 Hours
It is distinctly unlikely that the Pound will manage to rally against its peers until the actual Referendum results are announced tomorrow; the general consensus is that the outcome will be known by seven in the morning.
With that in mind, results will be coming in overnight as the 382 voting districts declare their majorities. Based on rough estimates, the first results are expected to come in shortly after midnight.
Following on from this at around four in the morning will be the expected declaration of roughly 50% of the vote, while after seven when the final result is announced, the Pound can be expected to soar or dive based on whether In or Out have a majority.
US Dollar Generally Poor in Appeal despite Cautious Optimism from Fed Chair
Although a number of notable US economic announcements have been made this week, for the most part these have been eclipsed in their importance by EU Referendum outcome concerns.
Most recently the USD has been lowered in appeal due to expanding gasoline inventories up to June 17th, while on the positive side, existing home sales in May have risen from 1.3% to 1.8% on the month.
In other news, Fed Chair Janet Yellen has stated that she is very hopeful for growth in the US economy to pick up in the near-term, though this has done little to pierce the current fog of economic uncertainty hanging over the US.
US Claims Results due Today, along with Manufacturing and Home Sales Stats
In a situation resembling business as usual, the US will be releasing a number of ecostats over the course of the day, although their reception is forecast to be muted.
First off will be the early afternoons initial jobless and continuing claims for mid-June these are forecast to decline on both previous fields.
Following on from this will be the optimistically-predicted manufacturing PMI for the same month, with new home sales results for May coming shortly afterwards. In the latter case, a decline of -9.5% is on the cards.
UK Financial Institutions Battening Down the Hatches for Market Unrest
With the circumstances of trade in the UK currently being utterly unique, it appears as though plenty of contingency measures are being taken out to ensure that companies are able to weather the storm that will follow tomorrow morning.
According to the Guardians Jill Treanor:
Major banks are preparing for two days of unprecedented uncertainty by stuffing cash machines full of money, placing senior bankers on high alert in emergency war rooms around the City and switching off computer-driven black box trading systems to avoid incurring huge losses in violent swings in shares, bonds and currency markets.

June 24 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs raised its average price forecasts on Friday for gold in the near-term, the full year as well as 2017 and 2018, saying Britain"s vote to leave the European Union suggested a more sustainable impact on the trajectory of U.S. interest rates.
Goldman raised its gold price targets to $1,300, $1,280 and $1,250 per ounce on a 3, 6,and 12-month basis, from $1,200, $1,180 and $1,150, respectively.
The bank also raised its average forecasts to $1,260, $1,261 and $1,250 per ounce, from $1,202, $1,150 and $1,150 for 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
U.S. short-term interest rate futures rose to contract highs in early U.S. trading on Friday after Britain"s vote, spurring traders to expect the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates to help shield the economy from any global fallout.
Gold soared as much as 8 percent to its highest in more than two years after Britain delivered the shocking vote, and the price of copper and other industrial metals fell on worries over the vote"s impact on economic growth.
"As the fundamental impact on industrial commodities of a leave vote is expected to be extremely small, this price action is consistent with our view of a stronger dollar putting downward pressure on commodities despite supportive fundamentals in some key markets like energy," Goldman analysts said in a note to clients.
"However, the ultimate trajectory will depend on the intensity and duration of the uncertainty shock created by the leave outcome, and any potential revisions to the U.S. growth outlook, both of which remain highly fluid in the current context," the analysts said.
