"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
After 4 full innings, Reds still lead 1-ZIP.
It's amazing how effective a pitcher with mediocre stuff can be when he hits his spots.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

I wonder what the chances of Patterson geting a hit and not having even one post saying something like "contract extension" or "he'll never be taken out now" ?
I'd say 0%, because I doubt it has ever happened.
I think it speaks volumes about the originality on the game threads.
