Dumb line ups prevail...

In 63.1 career IP at MMP, Dempster sports a 3.98 ERA, 6.54 K/9, 1.39 K/B. Sure it's not a representative sample, but those aren't overly dominant numbers.

Come on Home Wandy, get us a WB.

HLP and I will be enjoying the game from the friendly confines of Plucker's in San Marcos, TX. If you want to stop by, we'll be the two over-amped guys (one in white, one in lavender) with a pile of 40-50 wing bones in front of us.
