Jason Stark makes fun of you

Ha, I just got done reading that a little while ago.  Gotta love the  Pujols choker email at the bottom. :lol:

I didn't even read Stark's response to that. It didn't require one.

 

If only there was a situation when the Cardinals were one strike away from being eliminated, maybe he would have had a chance to prove himself clutch. Unfortunately, he didn't. We'll just have to live with not knowing.

Only five left-handed pitchers have won more games than Barry Zito in the 2000s (2000-2005). Can you name them? (Answer at bottom.)

 

Randy Johnson (103), Mark Mulder (97), Andy Pettitte (91), Tom Glavine (88) and (surprise) Jamie Moyer (87). Tied with Zito at 86 is David Wells. One behind: Mark Buehrle, with 85.

Edit: Who spells their name Jayson anyway? He's making me look dumb without my mod powers too.

 

You know what this column is? It's not only an insult to most baseball fans, but it's just a symptom of laziness. Jayson Stark can't come up with any real material and he decides to rifle through some e-mail and make fun of people. What a jackass.

 

What about normal readers being baseball columnists? Do you think I would write as much false or misleading information in about potential trades, or be wrong so often? Do you think I would pimp Red Sox prospects like Peter Gammons when they aren't worth a quart of piss? Hello, Freddy Sanchez!

 

Not only that, but there have been TWO trades in the last 2 weeks that I thought were more ridiculous than the Santana/Pujols idea (FWIW - Pujols 2-year VORP is 202.3, Santana's is 171.8), such as the Soriano trade and, like it or not, the Vazquez trade. So I don't rate fans that much worse than, say, Jim Bowden.

I don't know if I can think of any trade that would be as ridiculous as Pujols for Santana.

Some of those trades on there are just laughable at best. (ex. the yankee-cardinal swap)

i know, it seems like his introduction to the Cubs section that they got some good ones that Cubs fans are famous for, too bad none of those were printed

Those Yankees ones are the funniest to me, since living in NY, I hear crap like that all the time. I had Yankees fans telling me the Rowand, Marte and Garland for Gary Sheffield was a good trade.

Honestly...if Sheffield wasn't adamant that he wouldn't play anywhere else, and there was enough money heading our way...I might have been able to tolerate that. It'd have to have been a good deal of cash.
