if his team wasn't atrocious, he should be 17-0
I think we were saying the same thing about Randy Johnson last year.
The best pitcher I ever saw, no doubt.
Maybe he'll start slowing down at 50.
No one compares to Pedro that I've seen.
I saw two different Pedro near perfect games in Boston.
One was an 18 strikeout game where he gave up two hits, I think. He was a machine.
Pedro for about 4 years was probably the most dominant pitcher in all of baseball and his late 90's stats are amazing but the longevity of clemens is more amazing. He's done this for a very long time now and he's as good as ever at 42 years.
Oh yeah, I completely agree. It's like Tom Seaver vs. Sandy Koufax (though Clemens is about a billion times better than Seaver)
Pedro's '97-'03 is about as good as anyone's ever been, but when Clemens and even RJ have been at that level for more than a decade, you can't really say that Pedro's better than Clemens.
I was just saying that of the pitchers I've seen (Clemens, Ryan, Pedro, RJ, I'm sure some others) Pedro was incomparably dominant.
Randy was dominant today.
Koufax's accomplishments are astounding but every fuckin time you start talking about baseball with jews around thats their fuckin ace in the hole, its like marciano for white people.
