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.
For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ.

As if on cue, there was a catcher's interference tonight in San Francisco. Ivan Ochoa of the Giants became a real major leaguer when Paul Lo Duca of the Marlins got in the way in the seventh inning of the Giants 6-5 win tonight. Ochoa actually took a swing at a pitch out and hit Lo Duca's glove.
Why is this on cue? Well, you can read a much longer piece on catcher's interference that I penned for Rich Lederer and his Baseball Analysts site that is running for the first time tonight!

(ok Bob ... when does the "history of CI" book come out?)
I missed one by Quiroz last year too.
And a lot faster than Quiroz.
Thanks, bad intelligence from my Canadian source.
I'm afraid not.
Whatever Overbay does, he didn't do it until this year.
