DeRosa: And who is the best and who is the worst card player?

Dempster: I think the best is yourself. [ . . .] I think the worst player is D-Lee. I think he bets every time just to bet.

you could say the whole team is a bunch of gamers

considering they scored 4 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th…

This is a huge half inning.

Get Fielder and Braun out!
