There's something else I've got to do tonight that I've been procrastinating about...... but I'll be damned if I can remember what it is.

I used to say the same in college. Get work done by 10 or 11, watch Cubs game (drink), go to bed, wake up for 11 am class. Can't say I like going to bed by the 3rd inning and waking up the next day to see a boxscore... For me more like, get out of class at 5, frantically do HW from 5-6, watch Bulls game from 6-8:30, frantically do more HW from 8:30-9:00, watch Cubs game (drink), then try to do HW buzzed from 12-2, wake up at 8 on six hours sleep. Man... that homework stuff is really cramping your style, no?

That pitch wasn't 2 inches off the plate, and the Dodger pitcher gets tossed. This whole situation is just wrong !!

Yeah, that'd what I did for those Maddux stats. Thanx, I appreciate that info.

No, he's taken a couple of walks. 04/03 - 04/16 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Walker 30 8 13 2 1 1 20 6 2 2 0.433 0.469 0.667 1.135 And when you're batting 433, I don't think anyone should complain if your OBP and AVG are the same. Vance, some folks would complain if you hung 'em with a new rope. Know what I mean ??

I've checked a couple of websites, but they weren't able to give me that particular split. I'll keep looking, tho.
