Again I wish to point out it's amazing how people can make mediocrity smell good

At this point I would quite happily take mediocrity.

Jeff Weaver is a $500 million airport with a $20 control tower.

Good luck, Deacon. You'll need it.

Agreed with you in the chat room, HUGE project! Keep up the analogies though. I enjoy them!

Hilarious.

You can always find a way to throw that into almost every discussion. And we still have no way to prove you right. Or wrong.

(chuckle) What can I say?

Sure seems strange though. Tons of pitches before age 25 . . . great arm, great results, promising young pitcher off to great start -- ERA+ 110-120 for three straight years -- then hits that age, and :blowup:

Don't a lot of pitchers get injured before the age of 25?

wow, I can't believe I missed this thread. Was it hear when I started my pout thread?

Michael,

WHo is out? Good question, is it a setup to make a trade for a bat from a team that is looking for pitching? Jose Guillen for Marquis?
