    MLB 2022-23 FA coming and going

    Phillies got hot at the right time and won the pennant, and that was great for them and their fans. However, they lost 14 of 19 to the Mets, who are now better. Phillies still looking up at the Mets.

    What were the three best seasons by a starting pitcher since the '60s in your opinion?

    A couple of points to ponder: ‘68 Gibson pitched to a 1.12 ERA and .085 WHIP for a World Series team. How in the world did he LOSE 9 games? Also, when Pedro posted that 1.74 ERA in 2000, the league ERA was over 4. FWIW, Gooden ‘85 was the best single season performance I’ve seen in my lifetime.

    Hockey’s Mt. Rushmore is going to have to be recarved, because we’re going to need a place for Ovechkin. The best pure goal scorer I’ve ever seen.

    Happy 74th birthday to the greatest to ever lace up the skates...

    I don’t deny Orr’s greatness. He redefined his position. But it seems every time I get into this discussion, the only people suggesting Orr all have 617 area codes. Gretzky’s overall lack of athleticism is well-documented. He finished last in Edmonton’s conditioning drills every pre-season...

    Orr is all-time Top Ten, but Gretzky is the GOAT!
