vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Well, it was a good streak while it lasted, but Roy Oswalt is now 15-1 against the Reds. Now, Randy Johnson is the only active pitcher with the best undefeated record against a team, 12-0 against the Cubs. He's likely to not pitch against the Cubs anytime soon, barring a Yanks-Cubs World Series, so I'll stand by my original statement that Randy Johnson is not likely to pitch against the Cubs anytime soon.

Guest StylesMark Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Mussina is 37? I thought he was in his early 30s. Nooooooo. He was Baltimore's ace back in the early 90s. I still remember the uproar he caused when he went to warm up on his own at the '93 All-Star Game in Baltimore, when Cito Gaston had no intention of putting him in the game. Cito was hated in Baltimore for the rest of his managing career. They actually sold "Cito Sucks" shirts at Camden Yards for a while. Pathetic. Agreed on Jaret Wright. Even though he wasn't terrible tonight, he's been terrible for his stay in NY. Pavano too. If Mussina IS cut next year...it's gonna be bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw him pitch live against the Red Barons last week, and the 'roids didn't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Good match in Cincy today for the lead in the central. Pettite vs. Harang. Even though the reds bad pitching and defense will lead them to be below .500 before the end of the season, their fast start is fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Cubs sent the wrong fat pitcher to the minors. I wonder how much longer they can justify having Glendon in the starting rotation. He's just been an absolute disaster. That's not to take anything away from the Brewers' offense, but he doesn't belong in the rotation, even with the injuries.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted April 29, 2006 Fox's quest to ruin baseball marches on. Murdoch & Friends have acquired Turner South, which carries (or Carays, lol, pun) a good chunk of the Atlanta Braves schedule, and moved the Turner South games to FSN South. Not only does this mean more annoying robot beeps, clicks, and scoreboard shit every time there's a single fucking pitch, but they've also brilliantly decided to get rid of the Skip Caray/Pete Van Wieren/et al. rotation in favor of Jeff Torborg and some other guy. Also, TBS games are gonna drop to 45 per year shortly. Way to make the Braves just another team. Somewhere, Ted Turner is pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
