  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Vicente Padilla - RH - #44 17 104.2 4.13 1.39 .261 19 40 71 10-4

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind" -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution. But from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.

And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared, in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive!

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

I guess everything I ever wanted to know

about why Wins are a useless measure of a pitcher’s performance is encapsulated in today’s starters.

Guthrie has a better BAA (by a lot), a better ERA (by a lot), a better WHIP, more Ks, fewer walks, fewer HR allowed, and all of that in more innings pitched than Padilla. Yet Padilla is 10-4 and Guts is 4-7.

Wow.

or, to parse it a different way,

make it a command and change one word:

give up one less run; then, you score.

you know, they’d start the first without allowing a run, and then they’d plate some.

Any chance for a clean save tonight?

These guys just performed pretty well against the Yankees- after our performance against the Nats and Royals I hope the relief pitching can hold up! This would be one hell of a 4th of July present; I’d like to see us play them like we played the Cubs. Any chance Sherrill gets ‘em three-up three-down for a save?

Did y’all see Sherrill’s comments in SI? They asked him who he would want to play him in a movie, and he went with Denzel Washington. Odd choice, but it WOULD be awesome to be played by Denzel…

Isn’t with law abiding citizens who follow the proper protocol to obtain a gun they have the right to own.

I hate guns myself, I respect people’s right to have and use them responsibly if they choose and if they obtain the the correct way.

in fairness...

gary does have a law degree from georgetown and is admitted to practice in front of he supreme court, so it’s not completely ridiculous to hear him reflect on the framers and the declartion of indpendence.

Hey,I couldn't be more for lessons-- I'm a teacher! The Yikes was of surprise.

Though the Will column would’ve been a nice addendum, pointing out as it does that what actually happened on the 4th of July, 1776, is in some doubt.

Anyway, rock on, Gary! How about a quiz during the 7th inning stretch?

John Adams: Happy July 2nd!
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations, as the great Anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forever.
