You made three grammar errors involving apostrophes.

That is all.

Dear Tim Hudson,

We're sorry we completely forgot that you were an awesome pitcher in the decade from 2000 through 2009. In fact we completely forgot that Oakland and Atlanta have Major League Baseball teams in their fine cities. We hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us. You know 'tis the season and all that stuff. Please, please don't put us up against a wall and drill us repeatedly with your fastball. Thankyou.

Signed,

PS: Oh yeah, we're sorry we missed you too Mike Mussina. Please accept our humble apologies.

Yeah, Hudson was definetly ignored, players like Carp had a couple of great years, but being the best overall for the last 10 years?

I think their list is pretty solid....and I don't know if Hudson or Pettitte should really be in the top 10

Re: Top Pitcher's of the decade

Mussina, Maddux and Pettitte aren't very different over the decade - but Hudson was better than all of them. Buehrle and Schilling have interesting cases.

Spreadsheet of Top Pitchers of the decade

Spreadsheet with Pitching Leaders in VORP, ERA+, FIP, and WAR for 2000 - 2009. I took pitchers with a minimum of 200 GS, 1400 IP, and a 110 ERA+ for the decade. There were 24 of them in all. Interestingly enough these rocket scientists have Pettitte 5th, Halladay 6th, and Oswalt 7th. Hrrrm, let's see:

NAME; VORP; ERA+; FIP; WAR

Pettitte; 15th; 19th; 11th; 15th

Halladay; 2nd; 6th; 4th; 1st

Oswalt; 5th; 4th; 5th; 4th

and just for fun, Hudson and Mussina who suck so bad that they're not worthy of mention?

NAME; VORP; ERA+; FIP; WAR

Hudson; 3rd; 9th; 15th; 9th

Mussina; 12th; 16th; 8th; 11th

Congratulations Andy! You managed to beat out one of these bums in one category. Look I'm not knocking his character. He seems like a decent guy. But 5th best pitcher in the '00's? Wow...Just wow. I think whoever did this list must have been in Jeffy's parallel universe...where you burp out your farthole and fart out your burphole. Either that or they have a real difficult time moving their eyes past the W column. Ugh.

Anyway here it is:

Jeffy's really tired these days and I think on top of that Kaden's been making him feel overly conscious of various bodily functions he wouldn't normally give much thought to. You had to be there...or not. ;)

This isn't my list, this is the MLB network's list, as well the other lists that I am sharing and making threads on.

Re: Top Pitcher's of the decade

I know it's not your list Jeffy. I was just saying that whoever did it was in that upside-down land you were talking about in some other thread. It shows the MLB Network is bravely carrying the torch of MSM stupidity. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose I guess. :)
