It was basically the televised version of The New Baseball Abstract, Bill James' book. I agree with a lot of it, but then again, Bill James did pioneer sabermetrics, and I count myself among that crowd. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Seven shutouts on one night for first time in three decadesEds: INSERTS new 5th graf to UPDATE with Chavez quote NEW YORK (AP) - So much for the offense. For the first time in more than three decades, there were seven shutouts in the major leagues on one day. In the American League, Boston beat Chicago 1-0, Minnesota defeated Tampa Bay 8-0 and Kansas City blanked the New York Yankees 5-0. In the National League, Arizona defeated Florida 4-0, St. Louis beat Washington 2-0, Cincinnati defeated San Francisco 3-0 and Milwaukee blanked Los Angeles 9-0. "That's amazing," Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez said. "That's kind of a freak thing." According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the most shutouts on one day since there were a record eight on June 4, 1972, when 16 games were played. Thirteen games were played Tuesday. Milwaukee's Doug Davis (four-hitter) and Cincinnati's Bronson Arroyo (three-hitter) had the only complete-game shutouts. Among those who pitched complete-game shutouts on June 4, 1972, were Bob Gibson, Catfish Hunter, Tom Timmermann, John Curtis and Don Wilson. There was one constant: Bruce Froemming, who umpired at third base in Milwaukee on Tuesday night, worked at first base when Wilson pitched a two-hitter in Montreal.

jenbobblehead Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yanks send best wishes to Lester    BY SAM BORDENDAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER  KANSAS CITY - It sometimes seems as if the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox knows no bounds, but there is always a time for perspective. The Bombers sent a bouquet of flowers to ailing Sox pitcher Jon Lester last week, sending along their best for the young pitcher who is being treated for a rare form of cancer.The flowers were seen in the Sox clubhouse last night. Lester, 22, isn't expected to rejoin the Sox this season as he undergoes treatment for anaplastic large cell lymphoma.  The Yankees are particularly sensitive to such serious health issues since Joe Torre is a prostate cancer survivor and had to miss part of the 1999 season while being treated. "That kind of thing circumvents all of that (rivalry) stuff," Torre said. "Sure, you can say you don't want this player to play or that player to play when you're facing that team, but the bottom line is that you're talking about a serious issue and all everyone wants is for that kid to get well."

He's got better stuff. He's more polished than I was.'' Link to post Share on other sites
