Rollie Fingers Would've Never Allowed This To Happen

An odd little statistical anomaly occured in baseball last night. For the first time in almost 28 years, Major League Baseball played a full day of games with nobody recording a save. There were six save attempts, and every single one of them was blown. Whatever disease it is that Trevor Hoffman has, it appears to be spreading.

It was a day of blowouts and bad relief performances. Out of 15 games, 10 of them were won by 6 runs or more, and a couple more were walkoffs, so there weren't a lot of opportunities to be had. But when one presented itself, someone was there to blow. So congratulations to Damaso Marte, Roy Corcoran, Gary Majewski, Brian Fuentes, Brandon League, Chad Bradford, and all of the teams who got their asses whooped yesterday, for your historic achievement.
