maybe this has been addressed before - but what does game score at the bottom of the html page mean?

each of the pitchers gets a number.

Depending upon how well the pitcher performs they accumalte points ranging from 0-100. (IE: A solid 9 inning game with 3 hits or so a few K's will get you a score of about 80-85)

Game Scores - (James)

Game score is a metric devised by Bill James to show how dominating a pitcher was in any particular game. To determine a starting pitcher's game score: (1) Start with 50 points. (2) Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched. (3) Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th. (4) Add 1 point for each strikeout. (5) Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed. (6) Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed. (7) Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed. (8) Subtract 1 point for each walk.

The top game score in the history of baseball was Kerry Wood's one-hit, no walk, 20 strikeout performance against the Astros on May 6, 1998. His game score was 105.

I just had Tom Glavine get a game score of 3. All i'm gonna say is that i gave up a grand slam to the opposing pitcher.

Wow he must've had a pretty bad game. I played a game against the Expos and beat the crap out of Dennis Martinez and he even got a score of 10 after like 4 innings and 6 ER's.
