This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Maddox 1.65 ERA and Martinez 1.76 ERA by OldIrishFan
Martinez had a fantastic season and especially when comparing other pitchers’ ERA that year. Maddox as well although he didn’t pitch particularly well in the playoffs. Maddox only pitched about 200 innings. I had the privilege of watching Seaver throughout the 1971 season as I lived on Long Island growing up. The impressive thing about Seaver and Gibson is the amount of innings pitched and complete games l. They were pitching the 8th and
9th innings while today’s pitchers are on the bench. I saw them all and Gibson’s 1968 season
was for the ages.
