In his defense, he probably could have gone five in that last start against Woostah (only 56 pitches)

Cracks me up how they get Woostah out of that.   It would be like calling Grand Rapids  "Grapids".

I was at the Toledo game in Louisville last night and I was reminded that the calculus for whether a pitcher stays in or comes out in a minor league game is very different from that of a major league game.

I always got a kick out of how George Blaha would say Chicago, he'd pronounce like Chi-caw-go or sometimes even Chi-call-go.
