When and why in MLB history did the team with the best record in the entire Major Leagues not make the playoffs, 1994 nonwithstanding?

8/10/2010 2:15:07 PM

Reds in 81. The strike split the season in two, like low-A ball. Reds finished second in the West in both halves.

8/10/2010 2:22:02 PM

8/10/2010 2:25:06 PM

Other than Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez

Who was the last starting pitcher to post a sub 2 ERA over the course of a full season?

8/10/2010 2:35:46 PM

Greg Maddux did it a couple times

8/10/2010 2:37:57 PM

Josh Johnson, 2010

for real though, it was a different Marlin

8/10/2010 2:38:58 PM

Off the cuff, I'll say Kevin Brown?

8/10/2010 3:08:49 PM

Brown is correct


In the last 70 years, name the only two players who have led their respective leagues outright in RBIs for three consecutive seasons

I'm nearly certain Fat Cecil is one. The other one I have no idea? Yaz?

8/10/2010 3:18:55 PM

This is for Cecil Fielder!

8/10/2010 3:26:27 PM

Dale Murphy, even though I know I am wrong.

8/10/2010 3:53:13 PM

George Foster is the other.

8/10/2010 7:59:59 PM

Name the two players in NFL history who have had seasons where they've rushed for 900 yards and caught 90 passes for 900 yards

8/18/2010 12:03:49 PM

Well I know Christian Okoye is one of them. Is Dalton Hilliard the other?


Seriously, is it Faulk and LT? Just guessing.

[Edited on August 18, 2010 at 12:25 PM. Reason : f]

Neither

8/18/2010 12:48:00 PM

this is a tough one, it would have to be a west coast offense though for the RB to get that many balls thrown his way...

I know Roger Craig had a 1000/1000 year. Is he one of them?

8/18/2010 12:55:51 PM

good call he has to be one of the answers

[Edited on August 18, 2010 at 1:00 PM. Reason : just looked up the other answer and that guy would have never occured to me...]

8/18/2010 12:57:05 PM

Craig in 85

The other one is more of a darkhorse

8/18/2010 12:59:19 PM

I was close with Faulk. He had 86 rec in 1998 and 87 in 1999. Is the 2nd guy post 1985?

[Edited on August 18, 2010 at 1:12 PM. Reason : f]

8/18/2010 1:10:56 PM

Yes

8/18/2010 1:13:36 PM

I give up. PM me the answer.

8/18/2010 1:28:49 PM

Stephen Jackson or Brian Westbrook?

8/18/2010 1:45:27 PM

You'd think so, but no

Cole Hamels

8/18/2010 6:24:05 PM

Nope

8/18/2010 7:20:46 PM

The Bloody Sock?

8/18/2010 7:23:54 PM

Nah

8/18/2010 7:24:37 PM

Jeter

8/18/2010 7:34:56 PM

hey now is kind of old

I'm gonna guess Mickey Mantle

8/18/2010 7:37:18 PM

Haha, na. I will tell you he's between Mantle and Jeter.

Which slugger only led his league in home runs in the seasons in which he hit the 4th and 5th most home runs of his career?

hank aaron

edit: aaron didn't lead his best two seasons, but did 3-5, and then a random 9th

Which active player has finished the past seven years in in the top 30 of the Majors in RBIs each year with his RBI total always ending up within a 7 RBI range?



ex his lowest total during that span was only seven RBI's less than his highest total, thus very consistent

8/26/2010 9:36:00 AM

Alex Rodriguez?

^^ still scary

8/26/2010 9:49:16 AM

I baseball-referenced this one

The answer was my 20th choice

8/26/2010 9:49:45 AM

Top 30? What kind of fucking question is that? No one on earth would know that without looking it up. The Schwab is puzzled at this quesiton.

8/26/2010 9:51:04 AM

If I'm not mistaken, you've got nothing but time

"Random" is in the thread's title for a reason

8/26/2010 10:03:32 AM

Antonio Cromartie

8/26/2010 10:39:39 AM

^ And he's still got nothing on ODB

8/26/2010 11:34:35 AM

Is the RBI Question Bobby Abreu? That's my guess

8/26/2010 1:55:34 PM

Yep

101
105
102
107
101
100
103


Only 66 this year tho

8/26/2010 2:03:13 PM

I was thinking Abreu too because he was always in the Top 30 in everything it seems and always has similar year over year stats, but never leads in any category. Assuming he was clean, dude is probably the most underrated player of his generation.





[Edited on August 26, 2010 at 2:32 PM. Reason : as]

8/26/2010 2:32:42 PM

I'd say Adam Dunn is.

He's made one all star team and Tony Gwynn is a first ballot Hall of Famer

Yet you'll never convince me that Dunn isn't a much more valuable player

8/26/2010 2:41:59 PM

^^ I disagree that Dunn is more underrated than Abreu. While Dunn is a great run producer and OBP guy, he has no speed and is a liability in the field. His arm is good, but in reality he would best fit as a DH. Hasn't Abreu only been to like 1 or 2 All Star games as well? The thing I like about Abreu is that he does everything well. A true five tool player that sustained his skills over the course of his career unlike some other five tool players who lost the speed and defense.

The argument of Dunn versus Gwynn is a worthy debate though. As for Ozzie Smith, there are dozens of guys that deserve the hall over him.
