Uh he's 28, miles on those legs or not he's in his biologically physical prime, he shouldn't be too far off his best fitness of his career.

Kerry Wood's game score was 105.

No problem, I just assume people will put more weight behind a stat developed by Bill James than by ESPN.

FYI, they use Bill Jame's game score. Just wanted to point that out so people don't think ESPN came up with some random stat on their own. Also, you're right, 105 is the highest 9 inning game score, followed by Kershaw's 102 last night, followed by a tie between Koufax and Cain's perfect games with a score of 101.

It's called a game score and actually you're not quite right about Sandy Koufax's perfect game, because Matt Cain's perfect game equaled it and Kershaw's no hitter last night surpassed his game score of 101. I'll be nice and quote something I wrote on another thread about game scores for pitchers. Bill James created…

Somehow I've been able to watch most of Kerry Wood's game live, Both Yankee David perfect games, Matt Cain's perfect game, and Kershaw's (basically) perfect game. I also randomly happened to be in Philadelphia (been there twice in my life) the night Roy Halladay threw his perfect game and got to catch the last few…

Start with 50 points. Add 1 point for each out recorded, (so 27 points for a complete 9 inning game). Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th (so 10 points for a complete 9 inning game). Add 1 point for each strikeout, (15 points in this case). This so far will give you a game score of 102.

Start with 50 points, add 1 point for each out recorded (so 27 outs for a 9 inning complete game), add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th (so 10 points for a complete game), add 1 point for each strike out, (15 k's would obviously be 15 points) - add All of this up so far and you have 102. Which is his…

FYI to afro dude: You can use your hands in a fight. No penalty for that.

Thanks for teaching me that I'm really bad at something, that I really had no need to know I was bad at.

You're confident you're right, but you're not. This is a combination of 3 simple stats, 2 of which are entirely player dependent and the other which is at least more player dependent than RBI. This information highlights his ability to be great at multiple facets of offense. It also incorporates a hefty sample size,…

This breaks my 10 year old heart. RIP

That is totally true, but lots of cities are tourist locations. I know when ever I visit a town with ballpark I try to see a game. Chicago, LA, Boston, etc. Not on the same level of NYC though of course.

I haven't seen a losing season since I was 5. That has been a pretty neat part of life.

I agree the weekend games boost up the avg for overall attendance, but it should pick up now that kids are getting out of school for the summer. Also, when comparing to Fenway, remember they only have 30,000 something seats to fill, not 52,000. Even on an empty looking night, the number of people in Yankee Stadium…

Yankees haven't had a losing record since 1992 :). Yep, they've been that good.

Nope, I go to games all of the time. You're just used to seeing the seats behind home plate empty. Those tickets are absurdly expensive, but if you get a full shot most sections are 80-90% full with the "moat" at about 40% full. Yankees are still avg 42,000 people per game during what is clearly a down year…

I'm a Yankee fan, but the derailing that occurred toward the end of this comment is fantastic.

But how far can he punt a football?

The won both of those games in overtime. It's not even like they came back in regulation. The law of avgs points to teams splitting overtime games usually. Get out of here with your biased shit.
