    Fred Lynn led both leagues in ERA while still managing to win the AL ROY and MVP awards in 1975. It is also rumored that Fred Lynn's tears cure cancer (too bad Fred Lynn never cries).

    Seriously - the only rookie that I can think of that led the league in ERA was Mark Fydrich in 1976. Vida Blue led the AL in ERA at age 21 with a 1.82 mark but he technically wasn't a rookie (rip job - he had 42 innings pitched in 1969).

    I looked it up and Gary Peters also led the league in ERA as a rookie back in 1963 for the White Sox.

    Kerry Wood is out for the season with a tear in his rotator cuff.

    Wasn't Fred Lynn a center-fielder?

    Uh, uh **** never mind.
    (he was being facetious)

    Fernando? 1981? I'd look it up but I'm engrossed in watching the Padres shove it up the Nats ass again.

    Being in the sun today must've blinded me from that sarcasm font.

    Kerry Wood, injured? Not Kerry Wood! He's such a sturdy, dependable pitcher! ::)

    To think I almost went outside and did yard work, then thought better of that.  So it comes in clearly to me today.

    Told the dogs to handle the yard and all they did was go out there and shit.

    Soriano hit the first pitch out.   I had such high hopes.  Been all downhill from there.  Some 6-10 kid from Princeton - Chris Young? - is pitching for the Padres and in my half-paying-attention state I think I heard the announcers say they got him in a trade?  Who the hell gives up a kid who can throw like that?  I need to get out more.

    How long to you figure it is before the Beckett-for-Hanley Ramirez deal is reckoned to be a bad trade for Boston? Or will it be?

    Wasn't this young slugger for the Padres - Gonzalez? - part of that deal, too? Jesus, don't trade when you're drunk. That's two pretty good players right there.

    Bush probably doesn't like 6-10 pitchers. Oh, wait, he doesn't own the team anymore.

    How come the Nats didn't get HIM in the Wilkerson deal?
