Sports Trivia

Jason Marquis really won the game with his triple yesterday as well as some great pitching in St. Louis.

Jim Edmonds is three home runs away for getting his 100th home run at Busch Stadium, which will tie him for third all-time.

Tony LaRuss is 3 wins shy of 800 wins as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Reggie Sanders is 12 hits shy of 1,500 and 2 doubles shy of 300.

Scott Rolen, the Jasper, Indiana native, is 3 doubles shy of 300.

In Boston, Tim Wakefield will tie Roger Clemons for 2nd place all-time for appearances at Fenway Park (on the pitching amount). Both have 199. Derek Lowe has 193, so that number will stay the same unless they play in the Series. Bob Stanley owns the mound with 321 career appearances.

It took Terry Francona 166 games to win 100 games as a Red Sox manager. He won his 100th game in Toronto on Friday. It took Jake Stahl only 145 games in 1912.
