I just found an ESPN article that told me Joe West has a 4.45 ERA this season. Seriously. That's the truth. OK, it isn't quite the truth. The truth is that the pitchers who have shown up on the mound when West has umpired home plate this season have a 4.45 ERA. But the fact that you can actually research this sort of thing, in this day and age, is proof that (A) we can, now, officially, look up everything and (B) stat-a-holics like us have never been happier to be alive. Most people don't pay much attention to umpire stats. Not unless they pitch for a living. Or they're hopeless analytics analysts. Or they've been known to place a wager or two. But umpire stats have actually been around for almost a decade now. Here is a link to the story. Pretty amazing stuff. Nice to know we can have some stats for "our team"! http://espn.go.com/blog/jayson-stark/post/_/id/877/fun-and-fascinating-umpire-statistics
