We all get a mental block at some point in stat mining. Gary hits it pretty early, and I think part of it is sucking up to the jockos in the booth by saying strawman anti-nerd stuff like "Some people see run differential as the be-all and end-all." Goeddel eligible for the three-inning save tonight.

Mets pitchers with two hits in an inning: GO.

Well, this somewhat more satisfying.

I looked for Randle scoring against the Cardinals in a day game at home. Couldn't find any such occurrences, so I lied to myself and convinced myself that it was Taveras, even thought he was lighter skinned than Randle and usually wore a beard. It didn't occur to me to look for Randle getting thrown out, as Simmons doesn't seem to have received the ball yet.

Colon's scent of imperturbability may have taken a hit last night, but the scent of control did not, as his walk-less streak was extended to 45 2/3 innings.

5/19/1979. First inning.

Well, they're down already two infielders, but we'll see.

Of the 19 guys on the 40-man roster but not on the big league roster, 13 are now unavailable, due to injury or **cough** suspension. That leaves only six soldiers in reserve: Starting Pitchers: Matz (AAA), Ynoa (AA) Relief Pitchers: �lvarez (AA), Morris (A+) Infielders: Muno (AAA), Tovar (AAA) That's 68% of our strategic reserves depleted!

Campy time.

I don't particularly mind him not going for third. It was late in the game, and we didn't need the run, so much as the six runs behind him. We needed non-outs more than anything. Maybe a triple fires his team up a little and gives them a shining blue flame to follow into battle, but 147% of us would tear him to bits if he somehow fails in his attempt for three. I'm more concerned with the lack of focus in on-basemanship. You take a strike when down by multiple runs in late innings. If it doesn't help you get a few base runners, at least it makes the pitcher work a little harder, and gets you into the bullpen a little earlier in game one of a series.

For what it's worth, Campbell has destroyed opposing pitching in the 15 games since he went down: .440 / .569 / .820 // 1.389.

Strangers have apparently come and fractured Dilson's finger. Campbell, Reynolds, Muno, Tovar, or possibly Castellanos. Go fish.

Somewhat derisive applause for Cuddyer's hit with two out in the ninth. At least they stuck around. Only 9 more bases to go before that third out. OE: Nuttin'.

Take a strike, dudes. Bunt like bloody hell. Mars needs base runners.

Even as the booth has picked up on two different ways the catcher is possibly tipping pitches.

Let's get this guy just 'cuz.

I'm thinking of something stinky and it begins with... M!

That art nouveau card of Tejada is a home run, also.

WTF is Road Warrior II? I know three canonical movies: Mad Max, Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. OE: Oh, I see what's happening here. This one is called Mad Max: Fury Road. You have the Franchise Root Title Confusion (FTRC), as this one is actually called Mad Max: Fury Road. This sort of thing has been rampant since Rambo II: First Blood, Part 3, or whatever it was called.

My next two guesses (should have come before Christopher) were Hunt and Hickman, but I had to do work. Stupid work!
