Reading is Not John Kruk's Strong Suit

On SportsCenter this morning, they had one of those "GMC Diamond Cutters" or "Trojan-enz Bonerrific Plays" or whatever the fuck.  The "analyst" was John Kruk, or Krukkie as his friends like to call him.  The "question", and I use quotes because it was more of a phrase because there wasn't actually a question mark, posed to Krukkie was "Biggest series this week".  Or it might of been "Most important".  Krukkie says Brewers at Cardinals, which makes alot of sense because it is a really big series.  Then he goes on and on about how it is a THREE game series, and spends what felt like an hour explaining all of the mathematical intricacies and fascinating mathematical effects that a three game series could have on a 3 1/2 game lead (..If the Brewers sweep, they will be up 6 1/2, if the Cardinals sweep it will be 1/2 game) really heady stuff.  It is a good thing he is a former player, otherwise I couldn't possibly believe the math would work out that way.  If Bear had been the analyst, I surely would've assumed he had forgotten to carry a two someplace, or missed a decimal point.
 
But John Kruk's obvious mastery of 'rithmatics isn't the point of this post.  No, the point is that for all of his wizardry with the calculator, he forgot to FUCKING LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE!!!!  See the Brewers travel to St. Louis for a fucking TWO game series starting tonight.  So not only was his information wrong, so were his stupid fucking math equations.  Now that is solid analysis.
