In the Central League, a game is declared a tie after 15 innings, and
the game is replayed later on in the season.  All the stats, etc., for
the tie game do count toward year-end totals (except for team
standings and winning percentages).  I really don't know why
they bother to include the tie game count in the final season
standings, except perhaps to show that a team played more than the
scheduled 130 regular season games.

In the Pacific League, a game is declared a tie after 12 innings, or
3.5 hours.  These games are *not* replayed later on in the season.  Up
until two years ago, this was the rule in the Central League as well.
(BTW, the Pacific League also has the DH rule, the Central League does
not).

What's the reason for the limits on the length of a game?  Simple.
Everybody must get home before the train system shuts down shortly
after midnight.

One other investor is Charles Schwab of stock brokerage fame.

I have been listening to KNBR (Giants flagship radio station) 
about the deal. Appearantly, the SF group was planning on offering this
much and that they had contacted Lurie about this offer previously. 

This offer is still contingent on getting a stadium built. I do not think
the investors will go for this deal unless a new stadium is built.There
are many deals in the works right know.

Hmmm,  Sorry,  Jack Morris isn't even the best starter on the Jays,  much less
the Cy Young winner.  I can't see McDowell or Brown getting it because they
broke 20 wins,  when there are 4 pitchers with 15+ wins & ERA < 2.7

IMHO,  the CY young should be a dominating pitcher,  so I like to see lots 
of strikeouts and lots of innings.  Lose Guzman & Appier for not enough 
innings.  

It is Clemens or Mussina in a tossup,  as the top starter. Slight edge to 
Clemens.

Now,  Clemens or Eck.  Eck should be MVP,  the A's would not be in the playoffs
without him.  FOr me the CY should go to a starter.  Clemens,  barely.



A few more of note.  Big time tough luck pitchers, losing records < 3.0 ERA.

Well you have to look at the whole picture to make that call. Who played
more games? Sandberg plays on the Cubs with Maddux and Morgan who seem to
throw a lot of groundballs. The Pirates don't have any such pitchers.

From personal observation, I've always felt Ryne won the Gold Gloves with
his bat. His range isn't as good as Harry Caray will tell you, and he can't
turn the double play.

IMHO, Jose Oquendo is better than either Ryne or Lind, but he missed too many
games to be eligible this year.

You are all forgetting one thing.  The reason that Gant is an outfielder now
is because he was a TERRIBLE infielder.  I believe he led the league in errors
by a second baseman in 87 (?).  I would have probably played hunter at 2nd and

I had a bad vantage point - a 2" Sony Watchman screen set up behind the piano
bench where I was in the middle of accompanying a saxophone solo on Miles
Davis' "ESP" at a gig with virtually no one in attendence.  Best $150 I ever
spent in my life, I say now after having seen that play.

It looked to me at first like he was clearly safe, in that he got to the
general vicinity of the plate before the glove got near him.  One of the
replays made it appear that indeed the tag may have come before he actually
touched the plate.  But I didn't see Pirate players or managers screaming at
the umps, and when I got home to see highlights on CNN, they never hinted at
any controvery, or showed any slow motion replay that might have brought the
call into question, so I too assumed it was just me.

In any case, as with the famous Buckner error, at best it would have sent the
game into extra innings (in Buckner's case, additional extra innings), so its
not really like the other team would have won had it gone the other way.

(First a sorry to all the netters, I am inexperienced with usenet, and put some
 null message earlier today.)

My heart went down with Pirates' ill-fated comeback from 3-1 last night.

I wish Jim Leyland had listened to Tim McCarver's proposal of sticking with
his hot hitting lineup of McClendon, Redus and Slaught, and maybe lifting 
Time Wakefield early in Game 6 for possible use in Game 7. Yet Leyland is a 
manager of his principles, those ideas never crossed his mind. In my opinion,
Pirates comebacks in Game 5 & 6 lied more in their early deivered hitting and 
blowout over Braves than the great pitching by Walk and Wakefield. What a pity
Leyland didn't take advantage of the momentum McClendon/Redus/Slaught produced
in previous games. Maybe someday Leyland will realize what it takes to win
playoff compared to regular season. In my humble opinion, it is to try to come
up with the right combination and to maintain and take advantage of the 
momentum (so sometimes bypass some of your "principles").

What another excellent yet sad series for Lloyld McClendon! He went 8 for 11,
yet Pirates still suffered a heart-broken loss. Likening this series, 
Mr. McClendon was the star of Gary, IN team, in the 1971 Little 
League World Series. He was the dominating, overpowering pitcher, going 5 for
5 (all homers) and 5 intentional walks, yet his team yielded a 3-9 9-inning 
loss to the Taiwanese team in the final.

I think you give Stanton's pitching performance much too little credit.

Hopefully, Bonds's double-RBI with Bell in scoring position will end

And how about Morris's pitching to the score with that one-run lead, hunh?

One criteria for most improved might be performance down the stretch as an

commentary that I have unscientically sampled by watching a few recent games
on TV, some of the commentators think that Montreal would be a shoe-in if the
season were to restart today. The Brewers and the Reds might also fall into
this category. The really scary thing is that one of the hottest teams in 
baseball over the last couple of weeks has been the Phillies.

Phillies for most improved team???? NOT!!! I would pick Montreal, but again this

The problem with called homeruns is that we recall when we do it successfully
