During the regular season, a lot of my posts are of the so and so has a chance to do such and such variety.  Most of these don't come to fruition and are often not worth revisiting. However, there is one in particular that seems worth mentioning.

On August 28th, we looked at Joel Pineiro's push to become the 8th pitcher since 1954 to finish a season with at least 200 innings pitched without allowing a SB. At the time, Pineiro had 170 IP and was driving hard. In fact Pineiro made it to 200 innings and beyond. However, on the last day of the season, in what would be his second to last inning, Alex Alcides Escobar stole 3rd base with Pineiro on the mound and Pineiro's name was banished from the list. The 2009 leader in IP without a SB allowed was Dallas Braden with 136.2.
