An interesting question raised at Baseball Reference about a play in the Cards-Phillies game. It's things like this that are the most fun because they are out of the ordinary and provide fodder for discussion. I like it when players are alert enough to try for an extra base and even more when fielders are alert to their attempts to do so. People talk a lot about home runs, but I think the run down is one of the most exciting plays in baseball. They tend to last a lot longer too.
Also! Linked from the sister site Pro Football Reference, if you scroll down here there is a discussion of the fact that the Patriots have the greatest offense in football history over a four-game span so far this year. They're only 3-1, however, because their defense is so bad that the second-greatest offense in football history could be made by combining the stats of their opponents over those same four games. I think that's awesome.
