Banter Edit
Listener Bill Johnson wrote in to highlight more reasons for the Red's performance that Ben & Sam didn't discuss in Episode 43.
Notes Edit
- Tim Lincecum has a 5.09 ERA, Barry Zito has a 4.21 ERA. How long would it be before you would start Zito over Lincecum in a playoff game?
- Difference between rooting for teams that might luck into success versus those that are 'doing it the right way'.
