Indecision 2008

Yes, another post today (keep scrolling down for the others).

Apparently Wednesday was historic...it marked the 2,000th time, by Baseball-Reference calculations, that a Mets starter got a no-decision.

I must admit I find this kind of list fascinating.

Most No-Decisions
Mets Starter, Team History

75- Ron Darling
75- Tom Seaver
74- Sid Fernandez
71- Jerry Koosman
61- Dwight Gooden
60- Bobby Jones
59- Craig Swan

I mentioned that the Mets were 4-14 when Pedro Martinez started and got a no-decision. Tom Seaver can relate.

The Mets went 29-46 in games in which Tom Seaver started and got a no-decision.

I was teaching the youngins about Ron Darling the other day. They never scored for him. A typical Darling memory is him coming out after 7, trailing 2-1.
