Barry Zito ERA Tracker 3

Z's ERA again lowered, but did not reach an area code, though it came quite close.  Since 753 does not exist, the closest area code is:

754: Broward County, Florida



2006 BET Index

Game   ERA    Target

  3    7.53   near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
  2    8.59   Lexington, Kentucky
  1   47.25   deep space

(Since I have nothing better to do this Saturday morning, I hijacked crosis' feature. Sorry, crosis.)

I don't trust this result
I have reason to believe that the votes from Broward County are tainted.

On an entirely unrelated note, our bullpen is missing what had been a regular part:  the righty of varying success in a set-up role, with perhaps loads of promise or an unorthodox delivery.   When things go bad for this guy, we can turn on him quickly, demanding that he be strung up!   I refer of course to calls for Hanging Chad.

Defeat d'Anaheim!

Actually...
753 DOES exist... just not in this hemisphere.


The Meizhou prefecture in China has a 753 area code.

So Z is racking up some major frequent flyer miles.

I would prefer...
if we rounded zito's ERA down.

Just a suggestion.

I would have,
but that would have put it at 740, and that would be dishonest.
