Tuesday's Play--I Figured Out What I've Been Doing Wrong

it's baseball season. And I had not gone back to the Field of Dreams avatar and sig. Apparently I offended the baseball gods. So... all should be good now, right ???

Lost last night with the Orioles. Record this season sucks--almost ashamed to post it. But today we begin the right way.

The play is over 9.5 runs in the Marlins/Mets. It's gonna be hot here today in NY, and that ball will be flying through the steamy air tonight.

The Marlins go with Ricky Nolasco. He is 1-2 on the year with a 6.86 ERA, a 1.67 WHIP and a .333 batting average against. For his career against the Mets he is 2-6 with a 6.36 ERA. This year against them he is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA and a .368 batting average against. From 2006-2008 he was 2-5 against them with a 6.28 ERA and a .338 batting average against. On the road this year he is 0-1 with a 6.30 ERA and a .349 batting average against. You guys getting the picture here ??

Meanwhile the Mets start Livan Hernandez. This guy has been pitching so long, he probably gets into the movies with a senior citizen's discount. This guy was waived by the Twins last year while he had a winning record. Does that tell you something ? See if you can see a pattern here. In '06, his ERA was 4.83 and his batting average against was .288. In '07 his ERA was 4.93 and his batting average against was .308. Last year his ERA was 6.05 and his batting average against was .342. This year (it's only April folks), he is 1-1 with a 7.31 ERA, a 1.63 WHIP and a .333 batting average against. From 2006-2008 he was 2-2 against the Marlins, with a 7.22 ERA and a .330 batting average against. Last but not least, at Citi Field (the Mets new stadium), his ERA is 7.20 and his batting average against is .350. Again, you guys get the idea here.

The Field of Dreams theme WILL get me back on track.

Tuesday's play is over 9.5 in the Marlins/Mets.
