37 Things Lower Than Brian Moehler's ERA

Not pictured: ball getting smacked around

Watching us kick Brian Moehler's ass around early in the game, John sent me a text asking what his ERA would be.  Being the accountant, of course I had already calculated this.  "27," I replied, "37.8 if the two on score."  Wouldn't you know it, the next pitch, Malibu Mike hit a three-run homer that escalated Moehler's ERA to amazing proportions.  

That gave me the idea.  What follows is a list of things less than Brian Moehler's season ERA:
