Jim and Bob are on a mission to get the official score changed, neither thinks it was a hit. I didn’t see it, what’s the opinion around here?

One step closer
to 2 straight days of cheap wings!
There’s a bar in town that does wing discounts the entire next day if the brewers score 6 or more – 20c/ea for 6+ runs, 15c/ea for 10+, 10c/ea for 14+. And I take advantage.

The part of my brain that loves anarchy is relishing the idea of CC finishing the game just for the controversy
The rest of my brain is very angry with that part, though.

pythag
interesting: we’re now only outperforming pythag by 3 wins, and if today’s score stays where it is, that may well go down to 2. It’s like pythag is regressing to win%, rather than the other way around.
