[Edgy MD]

Buckie with the first hit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd post the results of this contest but we're still awaiting the first recorded instance of three stats.

Kwik Kwiz: Which 3?

[Edgy MD]

Still looking for that elusive blown save.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's one.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pitcher hits batter?

Batter hit by pitch?

[Zvon]

Sac?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Zvon wrote: Sac?

No sacrifice hits! How about that, from Terry!

The other stat we were looking for was Holds. Haven't had one of those yet.

[Gwreck]

Gee with the first successful sacrifice. Winner: nobody.

[seawolf17]

We haven't had a single reliever hold a close lead through twelve games?!? Odd.

[seawolf17]

ESPN.com says Atchison and Lyon both have holds.

[Edgy MD]

And we have our blownie.
