SuperSteve Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I like reading this guys articles. Saying we have Carl Everett like its a bad thing. I'd take Everett over Micheal Tucker anyday. He makes a big deal out of Carlos Beltran, too. Yet, he failed to mention that he had been hurt this season. I think he is more important to that team than Joe Randa. I can't wait to see what this guy will write when the Royals are out of the race, sitting in third place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 This guy is an idiot. He doesn't even have his facts straight. Here's a little trivia question for you: Do you know how many teams in the last 50 years have blown a seven-game lead at the All-Star break? Go ahead. Take a guess. Twenty? Ten? Five? You have your guess? The answer is two. San Francisco lost a nine-game lead in 1993 (actually, Atlanta took it away on the last day of the season after going an astounding 54-19 in the second half. The Giants won 103 games and lost the division). And the Boston Red Sox famously blew a nine-game lead in 1978, a nightmare finished off by Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent, who hit the decisive home run in the one-game playoff. That's it. Two teams in 50 years. Every other team with this big a lead at the All-Star break -- 31 of them in all -- finished the job. Few even had to put up much of a fight. Those 31 teams won their divisions by an average of an overwhelming 12 games. Let's see .. the '64 Phillies blew a, what was it?, 9 game lead with 2 weeks left in the season to the Cardinals. Anyone here ever hear of the '69 Cubs? The Angels blew a big lead to Seattle just a few years ago. Can't remember the year. This guy says two in 50 years, and I think of 3 off the top of my head.

He also didnt mention that you play your in division teams like a gazillion times now, so the leads arent difficult to overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but this might be a case of curving the truth. Maybe the teams you mentioned had less than a 7 game lead at the ASB but built their leads higher later in the season. Then, they gave up the lead late in the season. I love it when people tell the story so the numbers are in their favor. I could care less what some columnist from kc thinks anyways, he's just trying to keep the hometown folks happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But technically, what was the lead each of those teams had at the All-Star Break. If they were under 7 games, he'd "technically" be right. Not so much as not getting his facts right as it is manipulating those facts to tell more than they really should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clujer420 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 The Angels blew a big lead to Seattle just a few years ago. Can't remember the year. 1995. It came down to a 1-game playoff, and Griffey scored from 1st on a double to end the game. It was pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Actually, the Angels 2002 season was much more fascinating than the Royals party (which the Sox are finally startin to piss on) this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
