    Anatomy of a pitching victory:


    Phils reliever Jose Mesa entered a 2-2 game against the Boston in the 12th inning. He gave up a run on a single and a triple and stood to lose the game as the Red Sox went up 3-2 in the top of the 12th. The Phils scored in the bottom of the 12th to tie it. In the top of the 13th, Mesa gave up two runs on a single, double and single and stood to lose the game as the Sox went up 5-3. The Phils scored three runs in the bottom of the 13th to win it.

    Two innings, five hits, three runs, twice putting his team in a deficit.

    And he gets the win.

    I also think that if runs are scored on an error commited by the pitcher, they should be earned.

                Ya, if the pitcher commits the error, it should be earned.

                But wow... Stuff like that makes you think how non-important W-L record is.

                It's really all about run support..

                      ERA, WHIP, and Opponent Average are far more important than wins when evaluating a pitcher.
                      "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
