And the Band played on...... Posts: 22,433 Group: VC_Moderator Member #26 Joined: January 29, 2004	I mean I always knew he had good stuff but he's taken it to another level. He's 6-0 with a 0.40 ERA. That's 2 ER in 45 innings. He's already got three CG SHO's and 3 10K games. What a year so far.

He wasn't jinxed by being on the SI cover either. He's given up runs since being on there, up from his previous 0.00 ERA, but he's piled up two more great starts since then.

Posts: 17,761 Group: Moderator Member #74 Joined: April 29, 2004	He'd have to go 8-10 with something like a 5 ERA to finish with Rob's prediction. Unless he completely regresses, there's not a chance in hell that's happening. Watch him pitch. I watched all of last night's gem of a loss to an even better Saunders. His stuff is filthy and he's now confident out there.

The Dark Side Posts: 33,026 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: January 29, 2004	Yeah, why on earth did he push that kid for? It didn't make sense, and the people doing the game didn't even mention it. Has it been talked about since? He should certainly be fined for that, if I was the father, I would raise a stink about it.

The last thing I want to do is relive that sh*t!!!!

He should certainly be fined for that, if I was the father, I would raise a stink about it. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4159699 Quote: ORLANDO, Fla. -- The father of the 12-year-old boy bumped by Celtics big man Glen "Big Baby" Davis after Sunday's game-winning shot is demanding an apology. Ernest Provetti told the Orlando Sentinel that he wrote the NBA office demanding an apology from Davis for acting like a "raging animal with no regard for fans' personal safety." NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the league received the e-mail but declined to comment on it. Video of the play shows Davis ducking behind a referee and stepping out of bounds as he ran back to the Celtics bench. Provetti told the paper it was his son, Nicholas, whose hat fell off as Davis bumped him. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said Davis was not available for comment. The Magic also declined to comment.

I know in baseball fans aren't that close to the action, but the outcry would be INSANE if A Rod did what big baby did.

Yep. And by August, when that ERA is close enough to sniff 4.00, he'll be back in the doldrums. He'll seriously contemplate suicide by September, then go missing on a road trip. Zach Grienke = Barrett Robbins.
