Like baseball stats?

I consider myself a fan of the game of baseball, but this stuff is ridiculous. Talk about having too much time on your hands. However, maybe it's a case of being like Rain Man.

38-34
Red Sox' record within the American League East. They are a major league-best 57-33 in games against other divisions.

96
Games in which the Red Sox scored first — more than any team except the Mets (100 games).

72-24
Red Sox' record in games where they scored first (.750). The Angels have the best record in the major leagues when scoring first (.810).

42-6, 30-18
Red Sox' record when they scored first at home and when they scored first on the road.

51-19
Red Sox' major league-best record against teams that finished .500 or below. They were 44-48 (.478) against teams that finished over .500.
