In response to "Sorry people, but I think hyde is right." by the wrong element, bad guy

I'd still take Pedro for sheer dominance, but the extra innings that Gibson could go is a good argument.

As much as I hate Armando Benitez, he was not even remotely a bad closer. With a *real* bad closer/pen, then yes there's an argument for someone like Gibson. Of course it's not an ironclad argument because it's not like Pedro *never* had a CG. He lead his league in CGs in 97 and in Shutouts in 2000.

Oh, Armando could be great, but he could also blow a game. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:10 3
- 13 CG's in a season means he musta been pretty good at finishing great games, huh? - Will Hunting May 28, 16:12 2
  - That was before his best season. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:18 1
    - It's not like Gibson finished every game he pitched. You don't know going in whether *either* was going to go the distance. - musubi May 28, 16:24
