Is it true?  I heard FP tell that story over a month ago and figured it was typical FP bullcrap.  Like French Bull Dog = Boston Terrier.

Don't fret.  Get on the horn with your bookie, because I just received an inside tip that the boys are going 1-0 tomorrow.

Hope everyone cashed in!

It’s literally written in the rule book that our relievers shall not ever have a 123 inning. 

[skippy1999]

Mathematically the same, of course. But this is like the finish line in a foot race. Whoever closes best wins.
