I love Rob Neyer's column on ESPN. He's always posting something statistical about baseball that proves "gut feelings" about the grand old sport belong somewhere between hearsay and conjecture in the "admissible evidence" pantheon.
Today's column is about the worst-ever game-seven pitcher. It's Oliver Perez for the Mets.
Perez boasts the fewest number of wins in a season in which he's pitching a game seven, lowest winning percentage in a season, lowest career winning percentage and second-worst career ERA. Guess who's got the worst career ERA for a game-seven starter?
Jeff Suppan. Tonight's starter for the Cards.
Ugh. We're in for a real pitcher's duel tonight.
