Schaefer business

[Guest themetfairy]

It's a tough game to score. Not enough beer to go around.

[Guest AG/DC]

Fractions baby. Infinitely divisible fractions.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, fractions are infinitely divisible, but as a practical matter, anything beyond the second decimal point will end up getting ignored because of rounding. Schaefer is a two-decimal stat.

I just wanted to keep this on the current page.

[Benjamin Grimm]

These games actually should have closed today, but I neglected (forgot) to post a reminder yesterday.

So one more day of voting remains for the past weekend's series against the Phillies at Shea. Voting will close on Thursday morning some time.

Sunday afternoon's loss looks like it could use another few votes.

I try to get to the voting booth this evening. I would hate to deprive a deserving soul of their hard earned beer.

Ahem.

Sir,

We ask that you refrain from making 'comments' in the POTG threads.

Thank you.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Actually, that's within the rules!

My apologies, I stand corrected.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn, I had thought that all comments and commentary were taboo.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just don't want conversation. The only posts should be the ones that contain votes. (At least, until after the game is tallied.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for the first of the two slugfests against the Nationals at Shea, Tuesday night's 10-8 win, will close on Friday morning.

Schaefer POTG 9/9/08 - Mets 10, Nationals 8

Voting for Wednesday night's win over Washington will close some time over the weekend.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I went ahead and voted for all the Braves games because I want to put them behind me and bury their memory as quickly as possible.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Vote totals for the weekend's series against the Braves are understandably low. I can understand the waning enthusiasm for this stuff, but hopefully the Mets will revive over the next couple of weeks, and we'll also see a revival of Schaefer participation.

Anyway, the three games vs. Atlanta will all close on Wednesday. Vote, if you're so inclined:

Schaefer POTG 09/13/08 Game 1, Atlanta 3, Mets 2
Schaefer POTG 9/13/08, Game 2 - Mets 5, Braves 0
Schaefer POTG 09/14/08 Atlanta 7, Mets 4

If I were to vote, I'd give 'em all zeros.

Voting for Monday night's loss to the Nationals will close on Thursday morning.

So far we've heard from themetfairy, Elster88, John Cougar Lunchbucket, Gwreck, Frayed Knot, Benjamin Grimm, and metirish. If you haven't voted and intend to, please do so today.

Voting for Tuesday night's 1-0 loss in Washington will close on Friday afternoon.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Wednesday night's tension-packed 9-7 win over the Nationals will close on some time over the weekend.

Please be sure to vote! Participation is beginning to lag a little bit, but with only a few more games to go let's all try to hang in there! There's a pretty tight race for Player of the Year honors, with four different players still in the running for the ultimate honor.

Someone should have told me to change the link for last night's box score.

I thought I fixed it last night, but obviously I goofed. Sorry about that

[Gwreck]

4 points for Pedro for the 9/20 game? What am I missing?

[Frayed Knot]

That he knocked in all our runs.

[Gwreck]

Nobody gets 4 points for a 2-rbi double.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He also pitched 6 innings. I always give points for a guy who goes 6.

His pitching was worth 2 and his hitting worth 2.

Like Grimm said, he pitched six innings and knocked in the Mets' only two RBIs. And it's not like anyone else did anything to earn much beer (it wasn't one of those nights when there wasn't enough beer to go around).

On a different topic, I'll be at a block party this afternoon. So anyone who wants to start a Schaefer thread after the game should feel free to do so (otherwise I'll start one early this evening).

The Schaefer Mets Player of the Year competition, by the way, is rather fierce this year. With only a few days to go, there are four players who have a decent shot at taking the prize.

There's one player who's led all year, but his lead is not all that secure. (After the current tallying, he's only up by 3.40 points.)

1 Player A 110.65
2 Player B 107.25
3 Player C 105.41
4 Player D 100.31
