More Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

All four of the Philadelphia Phillies' wins this season have been come-from-behind. The Phillies bullpen deserve a good deal of the credit as opponents are only hitting a measly .130 against them... The expected line-up for the Astros for tonight's game against Pittsburgh has hit a combined .439 against tonight's Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf. The bad news for Houston fans is that Mike Hampton is starting for the Astros... Tim Wakefield's complete game today ties him for 11th among active players. He's tied with Bartolo Colon and Jamie Moyer. As an indication of how times have changed - Wakefield's current 31 complete games doesn't even put him in the top 1,000 all-time... The only two players in major league history to have 10 seasons of 30 HR's and 30 doubles are Manny Ramirez and Carlos Delgado. That's amazing. Babe Ruth only had 5 such seasons...
