05/28: Odds and Ends

All of these coming from the always worth reading Steve Lombardi:
Carl Pavano took on Bronson Arrojo in a Red Sox vs. Yankees matchup on Xbox's Major League Basebakk 2K5. The result? Yankees win 9-3.
Chien-Ming Wang (Obi Wang) has pitched more 1-2-3 innings than all but 2 pitchers in the majors. Those pitchers? Pedro and the Rocket. Add into the fact that Wang's first start came on April 30 (Clemens' was April 8 and Pedro's was April 4) and you have an impressive stat.
Finally, he notes that A-Rod has a shot at the AL record for most home runs in a season for a right handed hitter (Hank Greenberg's 58 hit in 1938). It's early and it'll be hard, but it's possible.
