Backboard hit n' run

Posted by David (aka David) May 28 '09, 10:40

Don't Stop Believing from Glee, Rehab from Glee, You Found Me by The Fray (Matt Nathanson and The Fray dominate my iPod these days)

1) Maddux
2) Pedro
3) Johnson
4) Glavine
5) Doesn't deserve to be listed

A) I hope you get to feeling better, Loosi.
B) That thread was regrettable.
C) The worst meme of the last 20 years, bar none, is "hater" and its derivatives such as haterade.

Congrats, kare! I'll break the news to Grendel, gently.

"I really thought that political discourse in the US couldnt get much worse, but the back 'n forth about how to pronounce names is a new low."

OR

"ZAAAAAN89 (This is what my cat just typed while I was out of the room. I'm not sure what this means but it can't be good.)"

- So-to-my-OR, as I understand it. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 10:44 1
  - Correct. NPR pronounces it correctly, from what I've heard. -- nm - con_carne May 28, 10:46
- I have no idea. It's from Hyde's Twitter feed. -- nm - David May 28, 10:44
Pedro's career can't match the longevity of the other 3....even if his short-term brilliance (99-00 was best I've ever seen) - Will Hunting May 28, 10:43 4
- An AL pitcher with a drug-free ERA under 2 is special. -- nm - David May 28, 10:43 3
  - What makes you think it was drug-free? -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 10:48 1
    - He's got huge swingers. -- nm - nubby May 28, 10:52
  - Not arguing that at all. Just his peak was like 4 years and then he fell off quickly. - Will Hunting May 28, 10:46
If I had one game and the life of the planet hung in the balance I think I'd pick '99 Pedro. - Mel Profit May 28, 10:42 9
- Koufax 63. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 10:49 2
  - Give me Pedro any day of the week. - Will Hunting May 28, 10:51
  - or 65, really any of this peak years. Though it's like arguing "super awesome" vs "mega awesome". -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 10:50

      - Not anymore, but really game 4 was worse when they got absolutely buttpounded. 23 runs. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 10:52
- That would be the best part. Not only would we win, but the aliens we dismissed would be like "Fuck that Pedro guy." -- nm - TFox May 28, 10:42 1
  - "Let's just go pick on another planet..." -- nm - Aliens SI May 28, 10:44
Steve Zahn, next Star Trek villain. -- nm - Max May 28, 10:41
