39,339; 14; 3 - OK, Let's Play a Numbers Game....

So, the first, 39,339, is the number of people who came out to the ballpark today (I am not in that figure). The second, is the number of men left on base for today's game, 14. The "3" is the number of men left on base in the bottom of the 9th with two outs.

Let me clarify, that 39,339 can also be used as the LOB for this year.

Is this baseball? Granted, a 9-12 record isn't dwindling to no-mans land, but you need to do two things in baseball with asses....

1) Put them in seats (see the first reference of the 39k figure)
2) When Asses are standing on the bag, they need to rotate counterclockwise, at 90 feet multiples until they pass a 5-sided shape called home plate. Each time that happens, its a score. So, for the Mets faithful, LOB isn't the determiner of Wins....

OK, tomorrow is a day off...Batteries on this hybrid are being recharged....
