 Bright Spots
I'm trying to take my mind off of the big stat of the day (seven losses in a row). Maybe these items will help you forget the agony, too:
* Mike Matheny is tied for third in home runs among all major-league catchers this year. Matheny has 5 homers, trailing Piazza and Ramon Hernandez, who have six each. Matheny is on pace to shatter his career high of 8 homers in a year. His slugging percentage is currently .437; he's never finished a full season over .362.
* According to the Runs Created stat, Edgardo Alfonzo is the fourth most productive third baseman in the game this season. Imagine how good he'd be if he had some power.
* This one won't help. Runs Created for Omar Vizquel: 28.1, good for 7th in the NL; no homers. Neifi Perez: right behind him at 27.6 RC and 6 home runs. Wait, did that say six home runs for Neifi? It did. More evidence of pods. Damn.
* Moises Alou in 2004: .293/.361/.557. Moises Alou in 2005: .279/.401/.527. Yeah, it was all Wrigley Field.
* Scott Eyre is over a strikeout per inning this season. He hasn't done that since 2001 when he was with Toronto. Last year he came close, hitting a K/9 of 8.37.
* Intentional walks for Bonds so far this year: zero.
