The best part about professional baseball, and really all professional sports, is that any given day something can happen that has never happened before. On Saturday the fans at Angel Stadium witnessed a statistical anomaly. John Lackey, in his first start of the year, threw two pitches to Ian Kinsler: one behind him and one in his ribs. These pitches resulted in the immediate ejection of Lackey from the game. Eventually Kinsler came around to score a run charged to John Lackey. Since Lackey did not record an out and the run scored his E.R.A. was infinity. As odd as this is, on monday Lackey pitched again. With one out he "lowered" his E.R.A. to 27.00. And people say baseball is hard to watch and boring.
