It is indeed correct.

First post in this thread. Screenshot below:

For much of the past century, since the deadball era, the magic number in MLB is 5. Score exactly 5 runs/game, you'll win more than lose. Score 4, you'll lose more than you win. There's been a couple short exceptions. The late 90's, early 2000s saw that number reach 6 in several seasons. Occasionally, particularly through the 60s and 70s, the number was 4. I know this doesn't address the issue at hand--variability--but I've always found it interesting. If you could somehow put up 810 runs, exactly 5 per game, you likely have one of the best regular season teams in baseball.

That was '84, not '86.

800 left turns. Boring.

Now that was one ****** pitch.

I have a friend from France staying at my house, and my cat attacked him. His name is Claude.

Not anymore

Appropriate for a Boston game thread.

That reminds me of the snail who accidently climbed on a turtles back, and screamed "wheeeeeee" as the turtle moved off.

Name the band: "I must'a got lost. I must'a got lost. I must'a got lost. Somewhere down the line."

Unhook the plow, Caratini. Geez.

I've been away from game threads recently. If you can believe it, I got hurt playing peek-a-boo with my youngest grandchild. They took me to the ICU.

Two out RBI. The key to life.
