And only seconds after I made that post, Ron Darling said that Jeff Salazar started off this season with the Rockies. Er....Salazar played in 2006 for the Rockies.

Will someone tell him to correct what he said? Or are the producers looking at the same wrong information?

I keep waiting for Ron Darling to say "and this statistic we got from baseball-reference.com" .

Truly, this blog has the best in stats.

Josh Beckett just posted his 3rd postseason shutout. Two other pitchers, Whitey Ford and Mordecai Brown have three, and Christy Mathewson has four.

Mordecai did the second one exactly one year after the first and the third one year and a day after the second.

Christy got his first three over five days. He pitched the first, third, and fifth games of the 1905 World Series and got shutouts in all of them!
