His numbers back it up. There are very few SPs with qualifying numbers (starters who get 30 starts a year, not folks bouncing between the show and AAA) who have thrown up worse numbers than he has the last few years. There was even talk to transition him into the bullpen because he was that good out of the pen in the…

His last good year was 2010. The last 3.5 years, this no-hitter notwithstanding, he's been one of the ten worst starters in MLB in any given year and maybe in the top 2-3 worst, cumulative, over that timeframe. It's pretty easy to look up. Try fangraphs.

Go look up how many punished racists, cereal (sorry) biters and deliberate handballers there are

Cue Liverpool fans defending biting and racial slurs, despite Suarez asking for a transfer days ago.

Besides Kuyt (everyone's favorite on this thread it seems), they have Fer, who had a great season for Norwich. They have De Jong, who you may remember for karate-kicking Xabi Alonso. Sneijder, who won the big cup with Inter. De Guzman, who the Yellow Submarine should never have let go to the Swans. Wijnaldum, who…

Robben is not a striker.

Most "end of an era" talk is usually lazy analysis…

Bartolo Colon legging out a double is shockingly the same speed as Big Papi taking a home run trot....more importantly this video made my day.

Things faster than Bartolo :

"If you want to see something great, watch Williams's face light up when he meets his student on the field at the 1999 All-Star Game at Fenway Park:"

It's cool how you're capable of using an idiom but not recognising one.

Obviously offside.

You spelled 'grate' wrong, dummy.

All great righters at that while started with the same dream.

What an absolutely ignorant post, Jesus Christ.

Readers are not amused by struggling Deadspin writer.

From the market? Shame on you. Next time:

Thanks for responding exactly as I would have. Stupid comment of the day goes to the guy with the ironic nickname. I'll argue until science proves otherwise that pitchers are injured more now because they're taught to throw 200+' over throwing 60'6" from 9-10" of height. I'm glad basketball players shoot 30' jumpshots…
