The New York Mets have something to hold over their crosstown rival Yankees this year, besides winning the season series against them.

The club tallied 8 runs this past Sunday for the 1st time.  If officially clinched their 11th different game total from 0 – 10 runs for a game.

This made them the 28th squad to complete the quest, and the 1st team in a few weeks.

The showdown for 29th, and to not come in last – is now a 1996 World Series rematch between the Yankees and Braves. Read the rest of this entry

D’Backs Latest Team To Complete MLB Runs Survivor 2014: Only NYY, NYM + ATL Left

 It has not been a banner year for the Arizona Diamondbacks.  They are challenging for the worst record in the Majors and finished 27th in this contest.  At least they completed the Runs Survivor contest with a win (9 - 8 in 14 innings) over Cleveland last night.  The effort also gave the National League a 5 - 0 sweep in Interleague Play

The Diamondbacks finally fought off the Indians with a 9 – 8 win in 14 Innings last night.  Not only that, but they became the 27th team in the MLB to score in 11 different scenarios 0 – 10 for the 2014 year.

This contest now boils down to the Braves, Yankees and Mets all needing an 8 run contest, to see who can avoid finishing in last.

Arizona has played the most games in the MLB, so I am not surprised they completed before the other teams.

By virtue of the game, they also closed the book on the NL west division, who finished 4th in the divisional race.  Only the AL and NL East have clubs yet to finish. Read the rest of this entry

Well we finally had some furious action to complete this mission in the last few days of the week.

The Rockies scored 7 runs in a loss, but finally completed their 11 scenarios to finish 21st.

The Angels and Phillies both plated 8 runs on Friday night wins to complete their tasks.

By way of one game less, Philadelphia wins 22nd place, with the Halo’s taking 23rd.

Left are the Yankees (needing 8), Red Sox (need 10 or more runs), Astros, (10 or 10+), Atlanta (8), New York Mets (8), and the the Reds and D’Backs are in need of a 9 run game, which has proved to be the hardest total to put forth. Read the rest of this entry

2014 MLB Team Runs Survivor Through Games Played May.08: 14 Teams Complete Including ALL The AL Central

High praise to the Cubs (won't happen much this year) for at least scoring 10+ runs in a game yesterday.  When this was accomplished to avoid a 4 game sweep to city rivals the White Sox, they had their 11th run variation from 0 - 10.  They were the 5th NL squad to complete the mission.  I thought it would take them much longer to score enough runs in game - to punch out the 8, 9 and 10 run game totals respectively.

This should turn out to be quite fun.  A lot of gambling establishments have this sort of deal, and it will be fun to see the results.

What Runs Survivor is, a MLB team scoring 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 or (10+) in different games throughout the course of the season.

Once a club has one of these run totals once, you cross it off and keep going until they complete the 11 different variations.  We are going to keep tracking this category – until all 30 MLB clubs are finished this season!

In the last 5 days of play since our last post, 5 more teams have completed this mission.  What I can’t wait for is who will be the last team to finish out. 

It doesn’t look good for San Diego who hasn’t even scored 8 runs or above so far this campaign. Read the rest of this entry

And Then There Were 5 Teams Left: MLB Shutout Survivor 2014 Contest

Harang, who was part of four organizations in the last year, no hit the Mets for 7 Innings before coming out of the game for Atlanta last night.  While the Relief Core could not keep the no-hitter intact, they kept the Shutout, thus eliminating the Mets from the 2014 Shutout Survivor competition.

Harang, who was part of four organizations in the last year, no hit the Mets for 7 Innings before coming out of the game for Atlanta last night – after 121 pitches thrown. While the Relief Core could not keep the no-hitter intact, they kept the Shutout, thus eliminating the Mets from the 2014 Shutout Survivor competition.  Harang has been lights out for the Braves this year, as that was his second game carrying a no – hitter into the 7th inning already.
