hahhahahahah.

so you read an article... meaning you havent watched baseball.

zero credibility. 99 out of 100 scouts / managers would say the phillies have the best rotation.

and the braves have a better bullpen... the best in the majors. not a better rotation.

just give up, you have no leg to stand on.

Right, 99 out of 100. A surefire sign of a failed argument when someone posts a stat that can't be proven. Carry on, homer.

And don't get so sour just because a former Tigers castoff making a paltry $3.25 million is the midseason frontrunner to win the NL Cy Young when your staff has three different guys making at least three times that much.

ETA - even Joe Blanton is making $9.5 million! That's some money well spent. Wish my team could have a $165 million payroll.

Reading comprehension, homer: "former Tigers castoff," meaning Jair Jurjjens used to play for the Tigers and was castoff for a bucket of balls and two pouches of Big League Chew.

Halladay would most likely win the Cy Young right now.

6 complete games to 2

almost double the quality starts

1/3 more innings. twice the strike outs

do you think there is any team in baseball that would take Jurjjens over Halladay?

why is Halladay starting the all star game over Jurjjens if JJ is better? doesnt the best pitcher on the squad start.

you fail.

Almost double the quality starts? WTF is a quality start in your book? If it's six innings with three runs or less, then ol' Jair has like 15 of them this season. So Halladay has 30? I'm impressed!

A Sabermetrician you are not, my friend.

hey guess what.

McNabb is awesome he should never have been traded.

Vick cant lead a team to the playoffs.

I could go on and on with your anti-Philly statements that you make up cause you are jealous.

Dude, I'M FROM PHILLY! Why would I be jealous? I just call out blind homerism when I see it.

no you are just uninformed.

i root for all philly teams, but i know whats good and not.

Eagles have a shitty defense, sub par offensive line.

Sixers have a lot of talent, dont have a big man.

Phillies are not having a good offensive year.

they also have the best pitching rotation and most wins in baseball.

Right, well wins is really an accurate stat for predicting great pitching. I'm sure that means CC SAbathia won the AL Cy Young last year. Oh wait...

i was talking about team wins.

you know, the only stat that matters in baseball.


by the way

Halladay - 138 strike outs and 17 walks in 143.1 innings

Jurrjens - 65 strike outs and 25 walks in 110.2 innings


do you really think Jurrjens would win the cy young right now? he would be a close second with Hamels 3rd.
