Math does not have a memory.  If the Mets play well enough to win a one run game, then they get a victory which suggests a .6774 winning percentage (110 wins) via Pythagorean.  However if they get blown out 14-5, they get one loss but Pythagorean suggests a .1319 winning percentage (21 wins).  Combined that’s a .2195 winning percentage (36 wins).  Take the Mets record over the last 10 games.  They are 4-6, but their 42:37 runs scored to runs allowed ratio suggests they should be 6-4.

Good stuff from @ceetar who explains how silly all this stuff is.

If you poke at the right hand sidebar you’ll see two new widgets for eBay.  These should make our mutual “You own this Mets jersey” shopping more convenient for all of us.  I also added some more Amazon widgets because there’s a few cool books out there you should read.

Someone is sure to hit me with the “hey man I really like the site but there’s all these ads now…” complaint.  I spend a lot of time on this which is openly a capitalist venture.  My dream is to sit on the deck all day and sun myself, hang out on twitter and write about the Mets.  To do that I need income.  So that’s the price you pay for me nagging the Mets into bringing back Banner Day.

And while we’re talking capitalism, I’d like to thank Amazin Tix for signing up for another month.  If you look over at the sidebar you’ll see they can hook you up with some cool Delta Club Patio action.  Click on the pretty picture or here for more information.

You too could reach over 100,000 sets of eyeballs each month for just $50.  The media kit with real site stats are here and you can reach me at shannon@metspolice.com

Thanks also to the other sponsors who I will thank individually in future posts.
