The HBWHOF is heading over to The Copa, today, to witness a pitching duel for the ages: Detroit's Brad Penny (10-11 with a 5.31 ERA) vs Baltimore's Brian Matusz (1-8 with an ERA of 10.68) That sweet 10.68 ERA is THE WORST IN HISTORY BY ANY STARTER WITH 10 OR MORE STARTS!
The major league record is currently held by Edgar González, who went 0-9 with a 9.32 ERA with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2004. González, now, pitches for the Colorado Rockies.
I went to see MONEYBALL last night. Great movie.
The storyline stayed pretty true to the book. Brad Pitt did a great job portraying Oakland A's GM Billy Beane. I really enjoyed it.
On the drive home, my wife made the astute observation that "Brad Pitt is the Paul Newman of our generation."
