A Tale of Two Box Scores

Fangraphs announced new boxscores this morning: "available for both live games and any game dating back to 1974."

For the lazy, I've included a thumbnail rendering of the two box scores in the full version of this post. I appreciate the "dh=0" parameter in Fangraphs URL, apparently the circumstances of the game can be changed with GET requests. For subsequent boxscore upgrades, this Mets fan humbly submits: "better_bullpen=1," "if_beltran_and_bay_were_healthy=1," "2006_mets_team_in_2011=1," "lincecum_is_met=1."
