    Do you accept that this data comes courtesy of a Perl one-liner and without any warranty whatsoever to its accuracy (and in fact with the strong likelihood of careless inaccuracy)?

    Do you further grant that my posting of this data is in no way suggestive of even the slightest implied belief in its value?
    Does it seem reasonable that I spent considerably more time nesting these spoiler tags and crafting this odd disclaimer than I did gathering the data in the first place?

    From 1999 - July 2nd 2010 I see 295 double headers of which:
    95 (32.20%) were swept by the home team
    62 (21.02%) were swept by the away team
    70 (23.73%) had the home team winning Game 1 and losing Game 2
    68 (23.05%) had the home team losing Game 1 and winning Game 2
    Agreed.

    Well it's not.


    Probably for the best.
