It would be amazing, if it weren't categorically and idiotically
false.

could you refresh my memory of a time when Smoltz was 3-0 and had an ERA
of no more than 0.89. Or you could tone down the categorically and
idiotically.

Please. It's only three games. And Smoltz is now 5 IPs pitcher. And
among those three wins two were over Washington and Florida.

You want a season better in W/L? 1998 17-3.
You want one with better peripherials? Now he has 3.5 K/BB. In 1998 it
was 173/44 (almost 4). In 1996 amazing 275/55 (5 to 1) with WHIP 1.00.

No points for refreshing his memory. That aside though, things happen to
you within 30 seconds of turning 40. Bad things.

Within a week of turning 40, I had to get bi-focals! Been downhill ever
since. Only benefit in aging is grandkids and senior discounts. All
the rest sucks!

I'm not going to troll through the archives scanning for three game
sets where Smoltz has outperformed his opening three this year. It's
categorically and idiotically false to say he's pitching the best of
his career, and the idea that Maddux is somehow topping 1995 is
preposterous.

I will! July 10th, 17th and 22nd in 1992: 3 starts, 25.1 IP, 0 ER, 22
K.

I'll be looking for my No-Prize in next week's mail.
