"I just think they made better swings by their hitters, better pitches by their pitchers and better decisions by their manager," La Russa said.

Keep it perfect, J-Marq.

 

No doubt rockin the Fabulous J-Marqe Jersey tonight...I taught my 3 year old son this morning when people ask him what he's going to do today to respond "Sweep!"

[Sammy Sofa]

When Hill catches, the Cubs win like gangbusters.

 

I hope Kendall is riding the pine tonight.

 

This is all scientifically sound and approved by SCIENCE.

[JWCUB]

Speaking of said sweep, who has the Lou driven street sweeper pic? Time to break it out!!! 8-)

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey Fred, I think there's an error in how your database is calculating K/9.

Greetings one and all from beautiful Cisco Lake at Watersmeet, MI !!!

 

Oh, now I'm jealous. Spent quite a bit of time up there. Beautiful area. That indian casino (Lac Vieux Desert?) allowed me to play when I was under 21 too. 8-)

[pitchcs]

4-0 at Busch this year when I'm there.

 

Keep it perfect, J-Marq.

 

0-0 at Busch when you aren't there.

 

But yes, let's get greedy today and take 3/3

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Do it, jerks.

I fear this will be an extremely high scoring game on both sides. Jason can't really set down the Cards a third time, can he?

[BleacherBadger]

win win win. Great picture with the street sweeper.

Hey Fred, I think there's an error in how your database is calculating K/9.

 

I didn't look at any others, but Dempster's looks fine.

 

1 K in 2.0 IP = .5K/IP or 4.5/9IP

After looking at it a bit further, it's just the difference in decimal places where you round off partial IPs. Looks like the database is using .333 or something longer than .3 for thirds of an inning. My mistake.
