Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Box Score

I got a save! Looks like the White Sox’s ace closer didn’t quite work out and they brought in my guy for the last 2 outs to get the save. Remarkable!

On a sadder note, it looks like I have to start shopping one of the best pitchers in the majors for the past ten-fifteen years, Randy Johnson. What made Johnson such a worthwhile pitcher is that, in addition to the strikeouts, he also provided Wins, ERA and Ratio. The Wins and ERA have flown out the window. He gave up 6 runs (5 earned) in 7 1/3 innnings yesterday (6.14 ERA) against Tampa Bay! He was very economical about it, doing it all on 6 hits. His ERA for the year is 5.13. He won Opening Day and that was it. Alas, alas.

Randy’s ERA for the previous 18 seasons is 3.06. This is a good number. (I think anything under 4.00 is a very good ERA number.) Along with 4076 strikeouts. But, maybe, he has held on too long and it is time to let him go.
