Wow - I am surprised there are that many. Do you have a link for the list? No biggie if not, I am just curious.

You are only one game below .500 AND you have a better record than Houston.

It's all in how you look at it!

Here you go. All the first at bat home runs, the ones bolded are first pitch.

Thanks Alex - I just don't have the free time I used to to find this kind of stuff.

This'll sound snarkier than I intend it to be but it was the second link returned searching "home run in first at bat." The first result answered too but I didn't want to use a Wikipedia link.

Or, in the parlance offered recently, here.

Alex, I'm so sorry, but your link is set up wrong. This is what you were attempting to do.

Is there a "Let Me 'Let Me Google That For You' For You"?

Alex · 04-09-2010, 06:07 PM

Hmm...I wonder how that happened. You have to cut us old people some slack when it comes to the new technologies you whippersnappers come up with.

Ghoulish Delight · 04-09-2010, 06:33 PM

Perhaps you were subconsciously trying to make my dream of an infinite "let me google that for you" loop come true.

When did they change the rules to allow starting pitchers to pitch more than 5 innings?

Ghoulish Delight · 04-12-2010, 07:26 AM

The tables have turned. For a while the Dodgers' winning formula was to just keep things close and wear the opposing starting pitcher down until it became a battle of the 'pens. But for the first time in a LONG time their bullpen is proving to be ****e. Yeesh.

On the plus side, they've got a ton of depth everywhere else (except maybe catcher).

Strange incident last night, where the umps reversed their call. I've never seen that happen before, where a team had to retake the field, after a third out had been called. Apparently, Dusty Baker had never seen it before either, and he's seen a few more games than I have.

Granted, we ended up creaming the Reds, but I'm still shaking my head over what I saw.
