This summer we had a big family debate over whether you refer to a single Boston player as a Red Sock. We split on this one. So, Red Sock et all, what do you think?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-65794978676227185012007-08-31T14:07:00.000-07:002007-08-31T14:07:00.000-07:00This is what I was using that time when you talked...This is what I was using that time when you talked about Bonds and the consecutive intentional walks....<BR/><BR/>About rookie pitchers: this goes along with my theory that an odd thing occurring a few times is perceived by humans as happening "all the time."Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-4370175213438452672007-08-31T14:02:00.000-07:002007-08-31T14:02:00.000-07:00For "pitchers with 10 or fewer appearances when th...For "pitchers with 10 or fewer appearances when the sox meet them": can you compare their record in their first 15 appearances with their record vs. the Sox?

Obviously they have some pretty cool stuff as well. I was just thinking that working at a place like that must be pretty fun. Especially around the playoffs where you get all those crazy stats like post season extra base hits in a night game against a left hander who is working on 4 days rest in a deciding game.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, love the stats.
