Have You Considered Using the Other Hand?
In case you haven't noticed, Jeff Weaver - he of the 3.09 ERA in 2 starts against the Mets in last year's Championship Series - is receiving Karmic retribution in a big way. His "performance" today continues the worst beginning to a season for a starting pitcher ever. I have done no research to support that claim, but it simply must be true. To wit, here are his statistics, by game (in this handy chart that I may or may not have created myself):
That's right. According to ESPN, Weaver's best game this year was a 3 inning, 3 run outing which the Mariners (yes, they are the poor schlubs stuck with this waste of space) lost to the Angels. His worst outing of 6 earned and 1 out(!) was against the Kansas City Royals (No offense, Budds). And this j.o. (who, as you can see, ESPN thinks is a "loser") is making $8.3 million this year.
Only one logical conclusion can be drawn from this - it is a very unwise decision to f#@% with the Mets.
