Damn, atleast Cain salvaged the series for you.

[Mit]

matt cain 11-0!!!

Yeah man. So happy. 11 wins in 11 starts.

Damn, atleast Cain salvaged the series for you.

Yeah man. I can't believe the last place D-Backs were able to take two out of three from me. I feel ashamed.

I forgot that Max had different colored eyes. Yes, his teammates do call him 'The Terminator'. I supose he's been called that for years.

LOL. Must be the lighting or something.

[Mit]

No, he really does have two differently colored eyes ... and his teammates do really call him 'The Terminator' because of it.

Ah. Wow. That is something that I did not know. That's a pretty rare occurrence, though. Don't see too many people with two different colored eyes.

Matt Cain is a beast. Still great man.

[Mit]

Matt Cain is a beast. Still great man.

Yeah man. Not sure what's up with Matt Cain and his 11-0 record, but I am sure that he's the front-runner early on for the Cy Young.

wow wilson is automatic

Yeah he is man. I've had a couple of outings with him where he nearly blew the game. I remember once the bases were loaded with two outs. It was against the Marlins. Brian Wilson got the guy to ground out and I basically jumped up and started shouting out of excitement of getting out of that jam to end the game.
