Crunching some numbers

I was looking at Felix Pie's game log today...

April 17 - debuts with 5-7 Cubs
May 9 - last game before demotion by 16-15 Cubs
Record: 11-8

May 10-June 2 - Chicago goes 6-16

June 3 - returns to 22-31 Cubs
July 5 - Cubs are 43-41
Record: 21-10

With Pie - 32-18, .640
Without Pie - 11-23, .324

Oddly enough, the Cubs are playing even better when he's on the bench, 6-1 in May before Pie was sent back to Iowa, and 9-2 since he lost the starting role the second time.

With a record like that, I'll forgive a .217 average.
