Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.74 career ERA, but has won just 30 of his 104 starts.
Plus Frank Thomas needs 90 something for 2500 hits and Jeter needs 144.

Then you have T-shirts or shirts that you received as a gift or you bought when you were drunk or in the mood to just buy something. Those are the Carl Pavano shirts. -Bill Simmons
Just saw that Pudge got to 2500 hits! Congrats to Pudge as he is a no doubt HOFer.
I don't see him in the Hall.
"For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home."
Are you guys ****ing stupid? The best defensive catcher ever who now has 2500 hits is not in the HOF? I guess 14 All Star appearances, a MVP award, 13 GGs and a career .302 BA isn't HOF worthy. The answer to my first question is yes, you guys are ****ing stupid. He is a no doubt HOFer.
