      The Yankees' announcers are always saying if you read the rules on this, you have no idea how to call it. They, too, say this needs to be clarified.

          No, no. It's the Mets who can't read a lineup card.

                          60, but by ratio it is still a rout.

                          Code:
                          NY Yankees 117 27 .231
                          NY Mets     57  2 .035
                          Even when you take into consideration that most of those titles were from a 16-team MLB and thus only count for half of a current WS title, there is no comparison.

                          For the Mets to have a comparably valued ratio of teams-in-competition-titles they would have to win something like 8 titles in a row.

                          I do not think that is going to happen, though I could be wrong.

                            80 games suggests it's his second infraction. I don't remember his first.

                            Or do I have that all wrong?

                              I think 80 is now the first suspension.

                                Here is the policy via Wikipedia:

                                Positive steroid test results

                                First positive test result: 80 game suspension
                                Second positive test result: 162 game suspension (the entire season, including the postseason)
                                Third positive test result: lifetime ban from MLB

                                Players who test positive for either their first or second tests are given the option to appeal, in which scientific tests will be conducted to prove validity of test. Within that period of time, they are restricted from participation in all baseball activity. If an appeal is granted, the suspension may be reduced by 40 games for the first offense or 80 games for the second offense. There is no appeal for a third offense. All suspensions are without pay. In addition, a suspended player can be replaced on the active roster by another player. If a player is on the disabled list, the suspension is served while on the disabled list. Unless a suspension is reduced on appeal, a suspended player is not allowed to participate in that year's post-season even if his suspension ends before then.

                                Players who receive a lifetime ban after a third positive test may apply for reinstatement after one year and be eligible to be reinstated after two years. Jenrry Mejía became the only player to be permanently banned under the drug policy on February 12, 2016.
