Over the series, we hit at a .279 AVG and got on base at a .336 clip. Our SLG wasn't good--.365 SLG--but we certainly did get hits and get on base.

As for our pitching, we gave up 11 runs over 25.67 IP, which equals a 3.86 ERA & we allowed 1.05 batters per inning to reach over that time.

That's pretty darn good.

What we didn't do was score runs, but if we keep hitting the way we have--with the addition of a few XBH--we're going to, and if we keep pitching the way we have, that'll translate to winning games.

Not running into outs might help a bit too.

[Elster88]

Thats an OPS of .701, which would be good for last in the NL.

The above sentence in some admitted cherry-picking, since the BA of .279 would be first in the NL and the OBP would be tied for sixth (though third through 11th are seperated by nine points in OBP).

Well, I didn't say we were hitting it HARD . . .

;-)

The problem is we haven't been hitting home runs, and we don't hit in the clutch.

[Elster88]

I don't think anyone has ever hit in the clutch.

I've been hit in the crotch but that's different.

I miss the days when you ejected toast.

I liked it when you actually had a picture of Kevin Elster.

[Valadius]

Yeah, where'd that go?

[Elster88]

? Still there.

No, now it's a UMDB picture.

[Valadius]

And so, we return to .500.

[Guest Edgy DC]

BOO
HOO

[Elster88]

I really didn't think there would come a time again this year where I would be hoping for .500 Let's rest Glavine, Reyes, Floyd and Pedro for the rest of the year like Bart said and shoot for a high draft pick.

Healthy players do not get shut down.

77 Up, 77 Down!

Moving along relentlessly. Lets hope we get wins 78, 79, 80 and 81 in short order, I'd hate to have to pay attention to Sunday's game at Shea with a .500 season on the line... In other words lets have a completely meaningless October

I thought this is around where they should be, just thought they'd be coming DOWN to it towards the end, rather than trying to go UP to it!

One more win assures us of being here (or slightly above) for the year 2005!
