Wooo-eeee! That line about the lerts is a real knee-slapper!

="Mayo Clinic"]You have more than 150 bursae in your body. These small, fluid-filled sacs lubricate and cushion pressure points between your bones and the tendons and muscles near your joints. Holy Crap! I didn't know I had any of those things! It sounds like the main reason Park would get this start is because of his current position in the New Orleans rotation. If he pitches and bombs tonight, they may well realign things so that Sosa can start next time around.

If he's going to go for a former Mets manager, he can choose from, among others, Davey, Bobby, and Art. I'd like to see him go with Jeff Torborg.

Interesting in that just a week ago we were comparing 1990 Viola with 1968 Koosman. I would have thought 1985 Gooden would have been a stronger candidate for that list than 1986 Gooden.

Thanks, Doc!

You probably would have hated Elio Chacon then. I'm mad at Aaron Heilman for not being Italian-American, born in Brooklyn, and raised on Long Island. But I'll get over it.

Oops. Colorado. All 1993 expansion teams look alike to me.

Here's some really raw data, but it can be pasted into a spreadsheet if you like. First, for each year, number of innings pitched by Mets starters by number of games. For example, in 1962 the Mets starter went 2.1 innings three times. (Scroll down for a second list which will have similar counts for opposing starters in Mets games. Post-season games are included.)

Voting for Wednesday afternoon's loss to Florida will close some time this weekend: http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=6190

This is the worst IGT ever! It's the bottom of the 4th inning (Mets trail 3-2) and nobody has even started a thread yet! Yeesh!

I noticed that too, about the mid-inning pitcher changes. (Not from the charts, but from watching the games.) It seems that starting pitchers seldom walk off the mound before the inning is over. I had been thinking that it was a nod to the experience of guys like Glavine, Hernandez, and Pedro. And maybe it is. I bet if we look at those guys innings pitched per game we'll see a lot of .0's and not many .1's and .2's. (That quicky method would miss, of course, any games where the pitcher was pulled during an inning before he got an out.)

="iramets"]What are the final two categories under Relievers? ist batter APP? 3 pit. <2 run? This is how The Sporting News explains them: ] 1-batter Appearances: The number of times a pitcher was brought in to face only one batter. Call the "Tony La Russa special" because of his penchant for trying to orchestrate specific matchups for specific situations. 3 Pitchers (2 runs or less): The clubs gives up two runs or less in a game but uses at least three pitchers. Interestingly, there are several managers who did the Tony La Russa special more often than La Russa himself did.

The biggest problem in evaluating Willie's tendencies is the small amount of available hard data, so every bit helps. Maybe I'll be able to do that a little later this afternoon.

Johnny Dickshot wrote: More sac bunts than the competition, and favorite inning = 2? Ouch. That second inning thing caught my eye too. In the second inning you can never be sure whether you'll need one run to win the game or if you'll need 12 runs. Sacrificing that early doesn't seem like a great idea. I'd like to see a breakdown of Willie's second-inning bunts, though. Because if they occurred with the pitcher batting and runners on base then in that case I can excuse the sacrifice. The Mets did score a lot of first-inning runs, so they probably frequently had the number 9 slot come up in the second inning. I would think that pitchers would do most of their sacrificing early in the game. If it's late in the game, and you need that run, you'll probably use a pinch-hitter.

I'm surprised it took you until late April to make that prediction this year.

Voting for Tuesday night's 12-inning win will close on Friday: http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=6184

Who was it who said that you're going to lose one third of your games and that you're going to win one third of your games, and it's what you do in the remaining one third that determines what kind of a season you have. I'm content to file this game among that first group and move on. (The 1986 Mets, amazingly, swept all 54 of the games that are in that final category!)

I'm glad I didn't decide to TiVo this game to watch when I got home tonight. Yeesh.

There is a day off tomorrow. Willie must figure that his regulars will be getting one day of rest anyway and that he'd rather they didn't have two.

Voting for Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies will close on Thursday morning. José Reyes is looking like a player of the month right now, but Carlos Beltran still has a few games remaining in which he can make a run at the title. Pitcher of the Month is a close battle between Glavine and Hernandez as of this tally, but both John Maine and Hernandez have good efforts that haven't been totaled yet.

I think I read that Smith recently broke an ancient Mets record for most scoreless innings at the start of a career, formerly held by Dennis Musgraves.

And Endy demonstrates that bunting is for WINNERS!

Spier forgets to let go of the ball on the pitch. Green balked to third with one out.
