I live in NY. I'm a Mets fan. I know what the impact was of signing him in 2005. It doesn't change the past two years.

Twenty-eight-year-old with a 15-year-old. Does that strike anyone else as patently "ew"?

Barry Zito was taken out of the Giants rotation and into their bullpen. LOL damn

I still say you can make a legitimate argument for Maddux, especially if you're considering longitivity and reliability.

the argument for pedro is peak, obviously. overall career i would take clemens over maddux but for peak no one even comes close to pedro.

Halladay just lost a heartbreaker in Boston.

I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.

it's pretty awesome when 7 ip 3 er is your worst game of the season through 36 innings. <3 lincecum

they got one hit off lester in 8 innings. not a heartbreaker. contract the team.

Lincecum is the dude but he's got to lower that WHIP (1.4). It's killing me in fantasy and he'll eventually run into trouble if he doesn't.
