With the help of @formerdirtdart (by help I mean he does all the work) the Mets Police have brought “advanced” uniform statistics to the blog. By “advanced” I mean you make something up and hope to shoehorn a catchy acronym on it such as WABU (wins after black uniforms).
From the @formerdirtdart sports bureau:
UPDATED 12:15 AM 11 May 2011
Mets’ WABU .400 (2-3) -4 DIFF (run differential)
Mets’ inWABU (inclusive Wins after Black Uniforms) .700 (7-3) +12 DIFF
[inWABU includes all post black jersey games, even if black jersey still worn]
By analyzing advanced uniform statistics the Mets can expect a 40% chance of winning in gray today, with a greatly increased chance of winning if they wear black again (after wearing black, aka inWABU) and a 5% chance of winning if today’s lineup includes names like Hu and Harris.
The FDDSB will also continue to track HATE percentages (hybrids as opposed to tradition every day) as the season progresses.
As proven by Terry Collins during the win streak last month, advanced uniform statistics are the primary factor in whether a team wins. Other lesser considerations include whether or not Jason Bay plays, if Troy Tulowitzki is on the other team, if your ace is a mental case, the number of doubleheaders played in the last 36 hours, or if a player whose last name starts with H is in your starting lineup (Hu, Harris, Hairston).
HAHAHAHAHAHA this is fantastic
