If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.

The Houston Chronicle reports that Roy Oswalt is going to receive a five-year contract extension from the Astros valued at $73 million.
The Astros website said there would be a postgame news conference announcing the news.
1) He's left-handed, and left-handed pitchers are the magic pixie dust of major league baseball.
2) The hardware. That Cy Young is pretty shiny, whether he's still that pitcher (or he deserved the award in the first place) or not.
3) Oswalt's re-signing with the team that broke him in. Zito's likely to ride a float into New York or Los Angeles with ticker-tape in his hair.
All that said, I think I'd rather have Oswalt.
