    What's the surprise. My surprise party for my birthday today?

I had got Westrum and Torborg pretty much by process of elimination, but never would have gotten Bamberger. (He was one of the ones I eliminated. I completely forgot about his post-Met fate.) Sam here. I got Westrum easily because I'm currently reading Ryczek's Amazing Mets. I should write a post about that book in the What are You Reading thread. Ryczek wrote what might be the best Mets book ever (historical category).

    I'm rooting for a career ending injury. And soon. Rivera has a credible shot at breaking Orosco's record for most games by a pitcher. Orosco has a 302 game lead.

Not only do I agree with you, but I was thinking the exact same thing earlier this week. Of course, I'd prefer the $40/annual rate for my own selfish interests whether or not it's a more profitable model for the NYT. I'd subscribe for $40/year, unlimited access to their entire database.

    Two footnotes to this quiz: 1 -- Hisanori Takashi's K/9IP rate would place him second among lefties. He hasn't pitched enough innings or started enough games to qualify, but I mention this because Tak is a current Met and could theoretically qualify inthe future. 2 --- Ryan might very well have the highest K/9IP rate for striking out batters as a starter. As mentioned, I included all of Ryan's Met K's. Eliminating Ryan's reliever K's might also lower his rate: relief pitchers strike out batters at a higher rate because they don't have to pace themselves for a larger workload.

    Last call for the 3rd lefty. I'll post the answer in two minutes.

    To round out the top five, we're missing 4Righty and 3Lefty. Hint, these two pitchers are not obvious. I'll post the top 5 five lists in a few minutes.

    Seaver and Sid. OE: Though Cone's a great guess. Is Coney a guess or a comment?
