Happy 100 Wrigley! Let's celebrate by losing in historic fashion!
Some fun stats from the 100th anniversary game yesterday from an ESPN article this morning: “And this year it’s been pitcher Jeff Samardzija who’s been victimized as much as anyone. Through five start, he has an ERA of 1.53, yet is winless. In fact, he became the first pitcher in 100 years – there’s that number again – to begin the season with five consecutive starts of seven innings or more pitched while giving up two runs or less without getting at least on victory, according to BaseballReference.com. He’s 0-2.” “Leading 5-2 heading into the ninth inning, Samardzija had every reason to believe the best outcome would be possible. Entering play on Wednesday, teams in major league baseball were 158-0 this season when beginning the ninth inning or later with a three run or more lead, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Now it’s 158-1.” via Krob
