I think I'm going to be just *that much* less efficient at my job this summer.... It was a damn lot of fun, watching that win probability go up and up... Went over .950 with Pudge's 2-run shot that made it 6-0... I thought it was pretty early yet to declare the game all-but-over, not that I'm arguing with the results.

To go back and run this for an entire season of the Tony Clark-Damion Easley-Bobby Higginson era Tigers. I always had a suspicion that Tony Clark hit better in games that were well in hand. What it wouldn't measure, though, was my observation that Tony always started hitting better after we were 10 games out of first place.
