  1. The Phillies haven't scored since THE INNING, either.
  2. This might be the quickest 16-run game that I can remember.
  3. This is the inning from

  5. I know the answer. I mean answers.
  6. I would never pull such a stupid stunt as Deutch's. But I'm glad that he did it.

But there's a reason why some of the smarter naysayers will point to things like the 80% strand rate and BaseRuns*-- because they're a pretty strong indicator of luck-as-contributing-factor, and most of the time, prove stronger predictors of future success/failure than recent win-loss record.... *- Kinda like Bill James' Runs Created-- a remarkably accurate run-estimator based on hits, walks, and homers. Think Pythagorean Record for runs, based on primary offensive stats. On the other hand, the odds are pretty slim for a non-playoff contender winning nine out of ten.

A is for Agee Best known for two catches For one catch he dives For the other he stretches A is for Agee's famed World Series catches. A stretch, then a dive, he caught them in batches.

  10. Gwreck wrote: I thought the "tough to get the adrenaline going" quote was from JJ Putz about pitching in the 8th instead of the 9th. Well then fuck Putz if Putz said that. Do you think that Niese complained tonight about the Mets scoring too many runs? "Ooooh. Ooooh. Stop hitting all those Home Runs. I can't hold a big lead. I'm talking to you, Rod!"
  11. Here's today's Daily News back page preview to tonight's game. Who's the second Met? Pelfrey, _______________, Reyes, Santana
  12. seawolf17 wrote: Feckin' drives me crazy that a closer (I'm talking about you, Billy Effin Wagner) can't get three outs with a four-run lead because he "needs that adrenaline." Really, Bill? Just fecking pretend it's a three run lead, okay, jackass? Take your eyes off the scoreboard and put them on the catcher's glove. Manager says you're pitching, you get in the game and get your outs. Wagner was full of shit. He didn't want to waste his finite chances to get into a game on non-save situations, to the point of lying to management because his pursuit of personal statistics mattered more than his team's goals. So he made up some unbelievable dog ate my homework crap about not being able to pitch with a large lead. Its' funny how starting pitchers never complain about pitching with big leads. The sad thing is that Wagner is probably more of the rule than the exception as far as this goes. Fuck him if he said that.
  13. P for Pacella. How'd he pitch at all with a cap on his head twas two sizes too small?
  14. B for Berroa, who's no Willie Keeler. He hit where they was and he ain't no base stealer.

(In Cora's defense, most backup infielders suck. That's why they're backup infielders.) Money aside, though, there's nothing wrong with having Cora provided he ain't getting more than 125-150 PA's per season.
