A system that scores Mike Trout’s team a 5 (equal to Cleveland, San Diego, etc) is as useful as a Juan Uribe. A failing which, I gather, you feel shameful about and have rectified by making the Angels (and Detroit, also a 5) notable.
In return for that notability, nota bene Jean Cocteau: “Listen very carefully to the first criticisms of your work. Note just what it is about your work that the reviewers don’t like; it may be the only thing in your work that is original and worthwhile.”
Zambrano should also get a little bit extra for his chance of hitting home runs. I’d give him about a 3, even though he’s nowhere near the player he used to be, just for the chance of something crazy happening.
And if you happen to see this, Well-Beered, I saw a link on reddit to a map of breweries in the U.S. It was entertaining for me at least.

Carlos Zambrano’s NERD score should be adjusted due to that ever-nebulous modifier, the How Angry Was Ozzie Yesterday Quotient.

I support the 13 NERD rating for Tillman. No mistake there.

With the absence of a featured game, is “other notable games” an appropriate title or should it simply be titled “notable games”

You have made your point gently — and with reason.
Phrase edited duly.

Is Mariners/Royals the first 0 NERD game of the year?

I believe Joey Votto’s chase for 68 (doubles) is over. Big frown :(
