― mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
had a soft spot for fuld since he was on the cubs, apparently he's a big stats dork?
also these factoids are interesting/cute:
Fuld, who is Jewish,[9][10] is the son of Kenneth Fuld, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Professor of Psychology at the University of New Hampshire, and Amanda Merrill, a New Hampshire State Senator.[11][12][13][14] He is also a second cousin of former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld.[15]
Instead of carrying around the typical teddy bear or worn-down baby blanket when he was young, he carried a book of baseball stats (The Complete Baseball Handbook) with him all the time, like a security blanket.[6][16] "He was only 5 or 6 and he was already computing batting averages and ERAs," his father said. "He'd sit in the bathtub, and I'd say 'If a guy goes 17-for-37, what's his batting average?' What struck me is that he'd perform these operations in very creative ways–not just that he got the right answer, but his methodology, adding in a factor and then dividing by 10, etc. I'd watch him and say 'wow,' just like I said 'wow' when he used to hit."[6]

Could swear Maddon had Miguel IBB'd earlier in the year w/ 1B occupied during the first. Tonight: tie game, sixth inning, go-ahead run on second, no one on first. Hellickson floats first pitch over the outside half of the plate. Miguel takes it to right, which scores the run.

A+ comment:
None of this would even have been an issue if Ruggiano had played the game the right way and mowed down the catcher who failed to block the plate, totally left him a lane and tried the stupid ‘sweep tag’ play. By not creaming the catcher Ruggiano was rewarded for his wimpy play by being called out. What’s the umpire supposed to do? Use his eyes or something?

Verducci has an exact timeline up--not quite right:
12:02: Robert Andino wins the game for Baltimore with a single. The Red Sox, as it turns out, have three minutes to live.
12:05: Longoria hits a home run off Scott Proctor to win the game for Tampa Bay.
