    What are you even talking about now?

    Doesn't matter. You can't answer my point, so you are attacking me instead. THAT is predictable.

    You really don't let it stop you that you never know what you are talking about. It would almost be admirable if it wasn't so sad.

    This reminds me of why I usually abandon this board after a week or so each time I come back and dip my toe in the water.

    Thief.

    At least offer something original while you try to cover for your idiotic post with personal attacks.

    As long as the Hall of Fame is the subject, here's the L.A. Times with some linkbait:

    And the in-house rebuttal:

    Verlander's career right now is pretty comparable to Jack Morris at the same age.

    It's got a HOF foundation but still needs a lot of brickwork. And finishing with 6-8 seasons as a .500 pitcher won't get it done.

    That was original, but you're not the one who has an idiotic post to cover up. Dickie is.

    Pitcher W/L record is irrelevant.

    Over the long run, it's indicative of other things like ERA, WHIP, etc.

    No it isn't.

    Oh fuck off. WL is not 'irrelevant,' it's only much less relevant than has always been believed for 100 years. Let me know when guys with 3-15 records start placing high in CY voting. It's a data point.
