Man, the announcer jinx in absolutely full effect there :)

Yeah, I added that because 0-0, 0.00 doesn't really tell the story when I saw he had pitched 3 innings and only allowed 2 hits. I thought that would be good to add. Didn't know I was about to seriously jinx him.

[yeah826]

Wow we ending up flopping there in the end I thought we had that one in the bag might have to reevaluate how I want my pitching set up.
