With plenty of support, Montgomery pitches gem in D-backs debut
“I’m glad I can make a good first impression,” Montgomery said. “Being around these guys even for three days, they’re incredible. They made me feel welcome. So a lot of comfort here and I’m excited to just kind of get deeper relationships with them.”

“I don’t even know how you’d describe it,” pitcher Zac Gallen said. “It’s kind of like a shot in the arm. It’s like getting a trade deadline acquisition but in April. I think it’s good. This is a clubhouse that we know those guys are a big part of what we’re going to try to do here. We’re just trying to battle and keep ourselves in it until those other guys come back and we’ll see what happens.”

The Starry Night is drawn from the viewpoint of Van Gogh from the asylum. The painting was done in 1889 and describes the view facing east of Van Gogh’s asylum window. The setting is painted right before sunrise with the ideal village in addition to the painting.
Before Julius Caesar invaded Britain, many Romans didn’t believe it existed. Julius Caesar was the first-ever Roman to invade Britain. He did it twice in the years 55 and 54 BC. Some Romans believed Britain to be just the foot of another huge northern continent. Others thought it was a place full of unbelievable riches, whilst most thought it just didn’t exist.
Then they had to build two walls to keep us out of Roman Britain!
