I saw him pitch in 1987, in the back end of a Astros-Mets doubleheader. I was glad to have witnessed him, but he was not that great that day. The two men's peaks did not really overlap, but Bob Gibson I suspect was feared more than Ryan. Edit: Oops, a quick check of Retrosheet indicates that Ryan pitched in the front end of that 7/24/87 twinbill.

WHIP is a great stat. I am of the opinion it should replace ERA as a major pitching evaluation metric.

I'm tellin' ya, it's all fantasy baseball's fault.

Thanks. I am OK. The Giants did not peak at the end, but they beat every team currently in the playoffs at some point this season, some like the proverbial rented mule. Congratulations to the Eagles and their fans - this might be a banner sports year for Philly. If the Giants can get Burress or some reasonable facsimile and Umenyiora comes back strong, some ass will be kicked next season.

And that patch, too. Holy shit. What lazy fucker came up with that, and what even lazier fucker did not fire his ass the moment he submitted it? That's the equivalent of me writing a story about a fire that reads like this. Fire There was a fire. -30-

For the sake of fuck, Omar. I am seriously beginning to wonder why I do not start rooting for the Yankees, who seem to give a shit about their fans more than the Mets do.

Yay for Jim Rice. Helluva ballplayer.

And a couple A Tribe Called Quest remasters would be boss as well.

Mets sign Tim Redding! Here comes the dynasty!

Jesus fuck. Who funded this movie, Norman Vincent Peale?

To continue the analogy, the Mets, in my opinion, sabotaged their 2008 season by not firing Randolph immediately after the 2007 collapse. The people in charge of the Jets may not have wanted to start their 2009 with an uncertain coaching situation.

The big problem was that the offense was designed for Chad Pennington, not Brett Favre. WHEN PENNINGTON IS HEALTHY, he is a good QB. He was not last year, and the Jets smoked a pole. Pretty much everybody in Jets-land was perfectly willing to ditch him for Favre. But the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, and the Lord gave unto Pennington a great year, and smites the Jets with Favre retirement angst and need-a-new-coach angst. And as I held Willie Randolph responsible for the 2007 collapse, I do not think it is completely unreasonable to hold Mangini responsible for the Jets collapse. That

In the Seattle game, Mangini made some decisions that in and of themselves warranted his firing. I agree that he is not a bad coach, but Favre stopped being good after they beat the Titans.

This kind of parallels what the newspaper industry is going through.

Man, Lundqvist needs a break. Maybe a vacation to the Bahamas for a week or so.

Whatever the new Pepsi logo is supposed to do, it ain't doin' it for me.

Best news I've heard all day, seriously.

That sounds like shit, though, when the process is done.

I call bullshit. Masturbation is recession-proof.

Plex has the same lawyer that got P. Diddy off of weapons and bribery charges and help get Michael Jackson off of child molestation charges. Plex has an excellent chance of acquittal.

Maybe the dude and his wife wanted to be in New York, which is a very nice city with many cool things.

Ewige blumenkraft!

I would not leave the house looking like The Cure, but their 80s albums were really good, complex, well-crafted music. They were NOT Kajagoogoo.

That's too bad, because that shit was funny.
