Johnson went on the disabled list today because of his back. I have to admit, I had no idea Moose was so high on the career list. It’ll be interesting to see which stubborn old guy hangs on longer, Rocket or the Unit.

tough loss. hit the ball hard a few times but the Met speed caught up to the ball.
Cano and Melky need to be more disciplined at the plate. I wonder if Cano will ever learn?
Clemens did just fine. Who knows how CLippard will do but lately our pen has not been overused at all. Good starting pitching makes everything easier… Looks like Villone will be let go when the Yanks go back on the road…..
How long can the Yanks go with no power at 1st? Can they just use Cairo because he has a good glove and can play small ball!!That will be interesting to see what happens..
Clemens will bang his fists.
Bummer about RJ on the DL. My son and I have front row tickets right next to the Diamondbacks dugout for their game tonight at Camden Yards against the Orioles. RJ was supposed to pitch.

Randy has a contract for next year, so i guess he should remain in the second place.
Look at Moose’s career numbers compare to Glavine. 17 years in the AL, 3.66 ERA, 3264 IP, 2602 Ks, 1.18 WHIP; vs 21 years in the NL, 3.48 ERA, 4234 IP, 2524 Ks, 1.31 WHIP.
One of those guys is a first ballot Hall of Famer. The other guy will probably be lucky to get 50% of the vote because the most important information for most of those guys is ‘wins’.
My wife and I were at the Marlins game last season when Moose got his 2500th strikeout. Nice moment.
I laugh everytime I see Peter refer to Schilling as 38pitches.com.

I compared their career numbers earlier and I definately agree.
the 0.16 ERA difference will make a big difference in the votes too, even though it’s pretty obvs moose > glavine.
