A couple of notes:
Don't feed trolls. Or at least feed them pie rather than verbal barbs and incessant profanity.

Smoltz
Parra
1-1, 2.65
2-1, 2.42
Parraty Parity Sometimes it seems like the Brewers are playing a terrible joke. Subparra swapped out so opportunistically, Redbird fans think that their offense is broke.

For all those feeling confident:
We were 15.5 games up on September 18, 2004.
From the recap:
As for the game, Chris Carpenter felt a twinge in his biceps and called it a day after pitching just three-plus innings. He and the Cardinals thought a serious injury...

Bush's secret family walk-rate is twice as high as it was in 2006, where he just barely beat Carp for the NL K:BB crown (4.368 to 4.279.)

Boggs has a great opportunity right now. We've got a big lead and Boggs can go out there and pitch w/o -- hopefully -- having to look over his shoulder too much. There's no reason for Tony to have...
