Thanks for the quick reply. If I find further issues, I'll post them here- I'll enjoy the occasional discussion of the finer points of language usage- but I'll wait until I have a few to post. I don't really mind if there are minor grammatical mistakes, as long as the articles pass the 'newspaper test' (they read like what you might see in the paper), and I mentioned the contentious line more because of the misprinted apostrophe, though the writing is a bit awkward. It was indeed the '4-1 shutout' that was the issue with that message (technically, yes, a no-hitter should also be a shutout, but I've always disliked that rule in MLB, and I'm happy OOTP ignores it!). 'back side' seems vastly preferable to 'backside', which has always bothered me when I see it.
