In regards to Piazza, I always wanted to know about the number of SBs that were due in part to the pitchers. (Candiotti say) I guess if I were more energetic and curious I could try and figure out the numbers myself.

Anyways, I enjoyed the "presentation" via the web, and then proceeded to get lost in the all the data and retrosheets.

Also, I love the Griddle. WHen I heard Brazil lost, the first thing I thought of was "I wonder if Bob Timmerman was watching that?"

I was in the hotel bar in Seattle!

Thanks for the kind words.
