In response to "Lasting long is special no doubt. Unlike most Mets fans, I really do like Glavine a lot. Pedro wasn't just really good from 99-01. " by musubi

Everyone's said as much.

It's not like Glavine wasn't pretty damn good in the 90's. 2 Cy's, another 1 or 2 he coulda won.

Responses:

He had a 15-year career, it's not like he had a 2 year peak out of 5 mediocre seasons. - musubi May 28, 11:03 11
- Take out from 97-03, he's Koufax. 6 brilliant seasons. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:06 10
  - I'm not arguing Maddux or Johnson, I'm arguing you putting Glavine ahead of Pedro. That's nutty. (nm) - musubi May 28, 11:07 9
    - For a career, I prefer guys who were very good for longer time. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:11 4
      - Burned out too quickly? He has 13 seasons that can be considered all-star caliber. And *wins*? This is the problem? - musubi May 28, 11:18 3
        
        Pedro's career for all intents was done by age 33. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:21 2
        
        It's *wins*, one of the most meaningless conventional pitching stats. (nm) - musubi May 28, 11:22 1
        
        (Will has "wins" engraved on every individual one of his anal beads.) - TFox May 28, 11:25
    - Will only really likes one stat: wins. That means Glavine has to be before Pedro. -- nm - TFox May 28, 11:10 3
      - Glavine has 1 less Cy Young award. 90 more wins. Same # of rings. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:12 2
        
        So, to summarize: less than Pedro, wins, equal to Pedro, wins. - TFox May 28, 11:14 1
        
        Well, when arguing about a pitcher's career, 5 full seasons of wins more is a pretty big hurdle to overcome. - Will Hunting May 28, 11:18
