Six of One; Half Dozen of the Other

It's been awhile.  I was on the road for business this past week, and will be out of town for the first week and a half of June, leaving me less time to continue here.  However, I'm going to try to keep cranking these out.  With that said, an interesting interleague statistic for you baseball fans...

A rather odd statistic I came across while looking at interleague records earlier this season.  The Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies have an all-time 6-6 record with one another.  Interestingly enough, the Blue Jays are 6-0 in Toronto while the Rockies are 6-0 in Colorado.  Evidently, home field advantage is a major advantage when these two teams meet.  As far as I can tell, these are the only teams to have undefeated records at home against a particular team, yet never get a win on the road versus the same team.

This one isn't quite as peculiar, but still interesting.  The Blue Jays will face the New York Mets this month for the first time since 2000.  Fortunately for Toronto, the series is being played in Toronto where the Blue Jays hold a 5-4 record over the Mets.  In New York, the Blue Jays are a disappointing 0-9 to the Mets.
