God, stop using that word. It makes you sound so bitter/pathetic. Well if that isn't the most ironic thing I've read today, I don't know what is. If the Cardinals had signed Sammy Sosa, half your fanbase would be too.
It's what happens when you lead the league in OBP. Get used to it. 16 baserunners in 7 innings should lead to more than 4 runs being scored. The great thing about high-OBP teams is that most of the time, it will. But not all of them are always going to be driven in. Dempster is sexy.
He's up to 56 IP with 22 runs allowed (15 earned, but a high UER total is a great sign of your stats making you look better than you are). I think that's within the range of a very mediocre pitcher on a hot streak. 5 of those came in one game. That could just as easily be the fluke. DEMPSTER!
