Not the right thread probably (OK, certainly), but the fact that ESPN is producing & showing a documentary about Steve Fucking Bartman is awesome in a "The Cubs And Their Fans Suck a Fat One" sort of way.

Interesting question my brother just asked....Has anyone else been on a 100 win team and 100 loss team in the same season?


Fred McGriff (SD to ATL) and Melvin Nieves (ATL to SD) in 1993


Found two more:
-- Jay Powell in 1998 (traded from Florida to Houston)
-- Jeff Weaver in 2002 (traded from Detroit to the Yankees in a 3-way with another 100-win team, Oakland)

Technically the Astros weren't a 100-loss team when he was on them.

Ichiro has been in Clearwater for the past few summers. My son has been at the Threshers camp for the past three years and he's been there every time. I"ve seen him quite a bit during Threshers games. My guess is that he came up with the other callups after the minor season ended.

All of our primary offense starters have a SB this year. Hasn't happened for this team since '98. /pointless stat of the day

No, no, you can't flip the switch in the playoffs.

They did it before the playoffs, so it's OK.

2011 Phillies are 10th team in liveball era to have pair of pitchers (Doc/Lee) each win at least 17 games with an ERA no higher than 2.40.

Sucky thing about Twitter (presuming that's where that's from) is there's no room to list the others. We also got that back-to-back seasons of 20+ shutouts Stark talked about a while ago.

Was somewhat bored and found this doozie of a stat. In 1883 John Coleman gave up 510 runs and 291 earned runs and had a ERA of only 4.47.

That is a shit ton of unearned runs. He also set the ML record of 48 loses.

To put it into perspective, in only 61 starts he gave up 16 less runs than we've given up this season.

For Doc to give up that many runs (at his 2011 rate) he'd have to pitch 1828 innings.

Oswalt combined with Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels for 25 innings in their final regular-season starts, allowing 16 hits, three earned runs and five walks and striking out 20 to post an impressive 1.08 ERA.
