Randy Johnson retires.

Brock Landers · 01-05-10, 10:49 PM

he hasn't been a dominant pitcher since before he joined the Yankees, everything before that was as filthy as anyone in history.

I remember that one season he was in houston as being as good as any pitcher i'd ever seen

should have hung em up a few years ago though.

Hate the guy.. His reporter footage while walking in NYC after big contract was hilarious

Mudcat · 01-05-10, 11:29 PM

Made me some good money therefore I like him.

BurtRapp · 01-05-10, 11:32 PM

He was heavy chalk his whole career

Mr. Peepers · 01-05-10, 11:38 PM

Big unit!!

tacomax · 01-05-10, 11:38 PM

Perhaps Mudcat bet the other side.

No. I bet the chalk when he was in his prime and having his 24-5 type years. Same with Greg Maddux for a stretch of about 5 years. Same with Pedro Martinez for some years. When they were at their best and dominant, the odds never caught up with them.

You could get them at home for like -270 on the road for like -220 (depending on the match-up of course). Value up the wazoo.

The Big Unit will always be one of my favorite pitchers. What a great career.

He's retiring. How is that not relevant considering his impact and statistics in the game of baseball? I swear, fukking crackheads on this site late at night.

how many no-hitters did Johnson have? 1 or two?

DwightShrute · 01-06-10, 10:32 AM

we share the same nickname

ryanjep · 01-06-10, 11:01 AM

he had a great career, should be a hof'er

daneblazer · 01-06-10, 08:03 PM

He'll be a first ballot HOF'er

slacker00 · 01-06-10, 09:03 PM

Classic case of "He was still playing?!".

I figured he'd retired years ago. I guess I don't follow baseball very closely.

They're showing one of them right now on ESPN Classic.

Great pictcher but one of the many who couldn't play in NY.
