fuck pedro

[aloneatlastnj]

look at him now. major LOL. but seriously, i highly doubt you'll find a more dominant pitcher than pedro from the pre world series win era.

bahahaha classic

[xbrokendownx]

oh he was definitely dominant but that doesnt mean i cant hate him lol

[matt_bergeron]

nolan ryan... mother fucker loves headlocks

[xbrokendownx]

you were 5 when nolan ryan retired...

[-PARANOID-]

Randy Johnson.

*insert the typical just-because-i'm-young-doesn't-mean-i-don't-know-anything response here*

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea but the kid said who youve seen pitch...im pretty sure he doesnt remember watching nolan ryan when he was 5

[rcrook]

i remember my dad taking me to see nolan ryan pitch his last game in angels stadium when i was 5, i remember bits and pieces of it but just because you see a pitcher once doesn't mean he can be your favorite

[Killadelphia]

phillie - cole hamels, even if he's a fucking prima donna.

Roger Clemens, steroids or not. He was a great pitcher to watch live in his prime.

[walshknilb281]

pedro, when he sat down 5 guys in a row in the all star game at fenway was sick, i remember i went the homerun derby that year it was sick

[kshtoinks12]

From just legends and stories, easily Sandy Koufax, I have to say that since he's a Jewish hero.

Alive to see? I absolutely adore the way Andy Pettitte pitches and I completely copy his mechanics and pick-off move, but Jamie Moyer's ways and methods of pitching are amazing. I'd pick Andy as my favorite just above him because he's a true Yankee.

[apoemtothedead]

Mark Mulder

[xbrokendownx]

my serious answer to this question would probably be mariano rivera

Jamie Moyer's my 2nd favorite too actually. I really didn't think anyone on here would give him props. That's whatsup.

Chris Nabholz lives down the street from me. =)

He's a nice guy.

I wish he could have stayed a starter. He had a fabulous rookie year.

1995: 14 starts, 9-2, 2.81 ERA (lgERA 4.06), 55 K's, 1.28 WHIP, finished 4th in Rookie of the Year voting

First to say John Rocker will die.

can we talk about what's wrong with this picture other than the obvious? why the hell is randy johnson wearing a number that starts with 3?

[startBBtoday]

ok, apparently johnson wore numbers 34 and 51 in 1993, don't worry, already emailed uniwatch about this, but does anyone know why this was? now that it's come about, i remember something very very very vaguely about this and possibly remember seeing it and finding it strange in old mariners programs.

[piebaldkid42]

i think mine would have to be tim wakefield just for the reason that he's been on the red sox for so long that he wins by seniority.

least favorite pitcher ever: Tom fuckin Gordon

Greg Maddux

[we are cured]

mid-90's maddux, for sure

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Its a tossup I used to like roger back in the day......

But more recently (after the age of 12 or so..)

I would say my favorite is
Mark Prior or kerry wood

lol. it's a damn shame what happened to both of those guys.

[nateisawesome]

I loved Mark Prior

I went to Wrigley back in 03 and got to see him pitch a complete game shutout

It really does suck for that to happen to such young talented arms

mariano rivera or

more importantly, john smoltz. absolutely filthy starter, even better closer, back to outstanding starter, now a closer again. incredible.

Dodger days. For a 2-3 year stretch, he was the best closer in baseball history. Absolutely ridiculous.

[StuGrimson]

I was always a big Juan Guzman fan back in the day same with Pat Hentgen, right now probably Roy Halladay though Shawn Marcum is quickly moving up the list.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Yeah it sucks about kerry and prior both had a ton of potential

I forgot a couple others I used to like asd well
Dennis eckersly(sp)
Turk wendell
Tim Wakefield
And
Nomo (basically because of his windup)

[startBBtoday]
