the quote you would expect when seeing a stat sheet that says 5 IP, no ER.

Looked like he had good feel on his curve, threw a good slider, though I guess it's possible that his fastball ain't what it was.

Backe was dealing with a *very* tight zone, and threw a bunch of good pitches that not only weren't called, but didn't draw a swing because the hitters learned pretty early that the onus was gonna be on the pitcher.

Miller made more mistakes than Backe, but he, too, was working with a tight zone: at least the umpire was fair.

..that he made in the interview after the game that was pretty funny - the interviewer said something like "you were very effective tonight" and he said, "Effective? Effectively wild, maybe."
