More investigating the UMDB Most Popular Lookup reasons.

Date: 6/1
Player: David Wright
Possible Reasons:
Back spasms?

Date: 6/2
Player: Jimmy Piersall
Possible Reasons:
I dinno. Perhaps it's related to May 29th, when a small New Endland paper referred to Julian Tavarez as a "modern-day Jimmy Piersall."

Date: 6/3
Player: Rich Rodriguez
Possible Reasons:
West Virginia football coach Rich Rodriguez saw one of his players and one of his ex-players arrested a few days ago,

Date: 6/4
Player: Bud Harrelson
Possible Reasons:
On June 3 in 1991, Hubie Brooks separated manager Bud Harrelson and David Cone, that night's pitcher, during a heated argument in the visitors' dugout in Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.

Something cool happened at a Ducks game?

Benjamin Grimm
Jun 06 2007 09:58 AM

The logs offer no insight regarding Bud Harrelson's popularity on June 4. (Sometimes the Google search words offer a clue. Not this time, though.)

Jimmy Piersall won big on June 2. He had a large number of Google and Yahoo searches. No real clue as to why.

You don't need to seek an explanation when David Wright finishes first. It's more of a surprise lately when he doesn't.

Ron Darling won yesterday. I'm guessing it's because of the clips they showed on SNY. Plus he was sitting behind the batter during the game.

That must've annoyed the catcher and the ump.

Jun 09 2007 07:58 AM

Yesterday's win was the 121st for David Wright.

Only two Mets have more: Keith Hernandez with 168 and Dwight Gooden with 160.

If I had been counting daily winners all the way back to 1999, instead of starting in April 2003, Keith and Doc would have much higher numbers. And so would Mike Piazza, who's in sixth place with 80.

McGraw has 84 official wins, Seaver has 83, Mazzilli has 77 and Darling has 67.

After that comes a steep drop: Dykstra 44, Strawberry 28, Kranepool 20.

Huge number of hits yesterday for David Cone. Not as big as if he'd robbed a jewelry store or flew a plane into a building, but about as big as if he'd beheaded a cat. The logs show a lot of searches on phrases like "caught in the act" and "caught in the bullpen."

Clearly the incident got a prominent mention yesterday. Howard Stern, perhaps?

UMDB traffic today is well below the summertime average. I guess a lot of people are off from work, and those who are in front of a computer probably are trying not to think about the Mets on the day after a 17-7 loss and a three-game sweep.

This is the kind of day when an obscure Met can sneak out a victory with a relatively small number of hits.

Edgy DC

A greater question is whether Bruce Boisclair's Independence Day victory will catapult him back toward the top twenty.

Benjamin Grimm
Jul 05 2007 11:12 AM

I'm afraid that Bruce would need a month filled with Independence Days in order to get back into the Top Twenty.

It's hard to believe he was ever there. Right now he's tangling with Jose Reyes for the honor of being in 43rd place.

Edgy DC

How much looking up of David Wright can one fan base do in one season? Not that UMDB shouldn't be the fast 'n' first source for all Met biography, but after a while, wouldn't everybody who needs to know something about David Wright have gleaned it already? He's kind of a mass-market paperback open book.

Benjamin Grimm
Jul 19 2007 07:25 AM

Joe Torre's win on July 18 was, surprisingly, his first ever.

He was the second highest ranked Met who had never been a daily lookup leader. (He's currently in 40th place overall.)

Care to guess the current top ten? (These would be the ten players with the most lookups who have never been a most popular lookup on any given day.)

Hints:
Four of the ten have played for the Mets in the current decade.
Six of them have played for the Mets in at least one World Series game.
Three of them have never played in a post-season game for the Mets.
Three of them were teammates of Ed Kranepool.
One of them won one of the major post-season awards while with another team.

No, no, no, and no.

Oops: A correction. We're still missing THREE World Series guys. The original count was six and we've accounted for Millan, Ventura, and Knight.

Both of the current decade guys are World Series guys.

The award winner is a never-in-the-postseason guy.

One of Ed's remaining two teammates played in the World Series. The other never hit the postseason.
