    Game canceled. The Jeter ball-licking on ESPN went on for a solid 90 minutes. I'm sorry for all of you who get that stuff every day in NYC.

    Remember Joe Black--start Heilman.

    Saito has been excellent--edge there over Wagner, though he hasn't been their closer for the full season. But their bullpen isn't nearly as deep as the Mets'.

    It is tough for Perez, but the scorer had no choice there. He had to give the win to one of the relievers. I checked: It's rule 10.19(a) and ©(1).

    Apparently Mota gets credit for the win, the official scorer exercising his discretion to give it to the reliever who was most effective. But it seems kind of a raw deal for Hernandez.

    They did, and the next man, Conine, drove in the tying run. Then they did it again in the tenth, with men on first and second and two out. That one made more sense to me, since either way a base hit would score a run, and Howard was a lot more likely to get one than Conine. But I see this as an overreaction to a real threat--they're so scared when Howard comes up that they probably hide their kids in the basement and turn on the air raid siren.

    I'm pretty sure that hard-throwing Marlins reliever Chris Resop, who just scraped through the top of the tenth, is on the run from the law or a vengeful ex-girlfriend--Resop can't possibly be a real name. Notice that it's Poser backwards.

    The Marlins walked Howard intentionally with the tying run on first and one out. He didn't beat them with a home run, of course, but I'd say that was a silly move, and they paid for it.

    One alternative would be to list Piazza because he would have had the highest percentage given enough at bats, but to give the true percentage, not the adjusted one. That's what the record books do with, say, Ted Williams in 1954, when he's listed as leading the league in slugging percentage because he'd still be in front if you gave him enough at bats to qualify, but the figure given is the true .635, not the adjusted .613. (That looks weird with batting average, though, where he finishes second to Bobby Avila despite hitting four points higher.) Looking at the 1972 Mets, it's a little hard to pick an MVP even if you gave them the at bats. Everybody had a terrible year. How about the Hammer?

    On June 4, 1972, sixteen games were played: four doubleheaders, including a sweep by the A's in which both games were shutouts. The Mets and Jon Matlack were roughed up by the Braves, 9-3. Despite the loss, they finished the day with a record of 31-13, the best in baseball. That year started off so well. What happened?

    Can you turn it inside out?
  13. dinosaur jesus
    You've got the best base stealer in baseball. Why in the world do you give up an out to get him to second? Was that a legitimate hit, by the way?
  14. dinosaur jesus
    Sorry. My last post just popped up again. I have no idea why.
  15. dinosaur jesus
    Why in the hell is there a chain-link fence there? What is this, a schoolyard?

    It's easy to mention this now, but Qualls is actually a better pitcher against lefties than Miller is. I love it when the kneejerk move is the wrong one.
  17. dinosaur jesus
    That's enough, Kaz. You've made your point.

    This is starting to get fun.

    With one swing, David is at .300 again and sitting on 100 rbi.

    Che Stadium, named after the famed guerilla leader Che Stadium.

    I appreciate how Trachsel works out of trouble. I'd just be a lot happier if he didn't get into so much trouble.
  22. dinosaur jesus
    Jose now slugging .493. Who'd have guessed.
  23. dinosaur jesus
    Is Oliver warming up yet?
  24. dinosaur jesus
    It would be the fourth time with 100 wins, not the third. .500 ball for the rest of the season would be okay with me--I'd like more, but I could live with that. It would at least guarantee the best record in the league.

    That's true in the National League, which was the pitcher's league. Here are the home run leaders in the American League, 1930-1939: 1930: Ruth, 49; Gehrig, 41 1931: Ruth, 46; Gehrig, 46 1932: Foxx, 58; Ruth, 41 1933: Foxx, 48; Ruth, 34 1934: Gehrig, 49; Foxx, 44 1935: Foxx, 36; Greenberg, 36 1936: Foxx, 49; Trosky, 42 1937: Dimaggio, 46; Greenberg, 40 1938: Greenberg, 58; Foxx, 50 1939: Foxx, 35; Greenberg, 33 The leaders hit about as many as they do now, but the rest of the league took another 60 years to catch up. You could say, though, that this is a very small group of exceptional hitters: just six of them. And the really remarkable thing is that four were first basemen.
