Split! 

Well, they managed a split with a blowout win on Thursday.

Why leave Zambrano in for 121 pitches with a 10 run lead? Because 7 pitchers threw the day before? None of them went more than an inning and a third. Oh well.

You may have heard the fine Cubs broadcaster Chip Caray refer to "two out magic" once or twice in the last few weeks. I didn't see yesterday's 10 run inning with two out, but I can imagine Chippy nearly hyperventalated himself to death saying it. Let's look at this fallacy, shall we?












































































































Chip is a Moron
Team Total Runs 2 Out Runs % 2 Out Runs
NYM 244 113 46.3
COL 310 130 41.9
PHI 291 117 40.2
ATL 274 110 40.1
FLA 268 107 39.9
MIL 255 100 39.2
ARZ 274 107 39.1
HOU 286 110 38.5
MON 180 68 37.8
CUBS 285 106 37.2
PIT 250 91 36.4
LA 246 86 35.0
SD 264 83 31.4
STL 305 95 31.1
CIN 280 83 29.6
SF 280 81 28.9


I don't know why Chip keeps ranting about this, but let's hope someone will publish some media notes that he'll actually read.

I don't know why there is this massive gap between the table and the text above it. I am an idiot when it comes to HTML. Can someone shed some light on this?
