Albeit, only 3 NL teams had a winning interleague record while only 2 AL teams had a losing record. IIRC, it seems enthusiasm was tempered a bit after interleague play. Another reason may be how the Phils have fared thus far against over .500 teams... 24-35. Even phans that don't know the numbers can sense the Phils haven't been beating "baseball's best" this year, and thus get a sense of "blah".

I understand your overall point, but where did you get that record from? They were 4-11 in Interleague play

2008 Interleague Stats, team-by-team

(the runs scored is just sickening)

And completely inaccurate. I have no idea where they're getting their numbers from. ESPN.com and baseball-reference both have the Phillies at 4-11.

1-2 vs TOR
1-2 vs TEX
1-2 vs OAK
1-2 vs BOS
0-3 vs LAA

So evidently they think we scored 27 R (with 15 HRs too) in 18 games, but we actually scored 57 in 15 games. Still nothing great but I wonder how they're so off.

Well, MLB.com has them at 3-15 as well. So mebbe that's where CBS Sportsline gets it from.

If I have time later, I'll go through the individual games, cuz dammit I curious now.

Quick look at the listview schedule/results over at yahoo...

5/16-5/18 Toronto 1-2 (15 runs)
6/16-6/18 Boston 1-2 (6 runs)
6/20-6/22 Angels 0-3 (5 runs)
6/24-6/26 Oakland 1-2 (6 runs)
6/27-6/29 Texas 1-2 (14 runs)

4-11, 46 runs

So... what's the deal over at MLB.com? Bad web service programming (linking to wrong DB, etc.) or bad data entered? Mets fan handling stats? Fawning all over the beloved AL? The MLB.com stats have most of the teams with 18 interleague games and the others with 15. Puzzling...

This is probably Camp Holdout's fault. Shocker.

A lot of (all?) NL teams only play 15.

We had our extra series against the Cards. 16 NL teams v. 14 AL leads to imbalance.

I checked some other records and some of them are off too. Some by like one game (say 10-7 instead of 10-8), very strange.

You did look at some of the results too quick though. We scored 18 vs TOR (may have looked at runs allowed) and 12 vs BOS (no clue what you did there) and TEX we scored 16

I'm absolutely positive I have almost no interest in watching tonight's game.

by **CalvinBall** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 01:28:23

Tied for first. All good.

by **jerseyhoya** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 01:29:29

We still have 9 games left against the Nats. Also our offense has started scoring more in earlier innings.

Best of all, we aren't guaranteed a losing road trip yet.
