Santana is a freak

I was hoping so too, but they pulled him. He had thrown 111 pitches though

Man!! But you can't really blame Ron Gardenhire. It was a 1-0 lead, and it ended up working for them. They won 1-0. If he had 18 K's going in the 9th inning, I would've left him.

that'd be awesome

Alex, what is the cricket equivalent to that scenario?

Er... Well, you can have "all-rounders". I.e. somebody that bats and bowls rather than just one of the two. The best in the world, when fit, is Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff. So I suppose it would be a bit like Flintoff taking all 10 wickets in an innings (it's only happened about 50 times in 250 years) and doing that in both innings, and he makes 100 in the first innings, and scores the winning runs in the last innings. The batting part of the task is quite achievable, but the bowling part is nigh-on impossible. Nobody has ever taken more than 19 wickets in a match (i.e. a "First-Class" match - the equivalent of "Major League" I suppose).

hmmm. a Mets fan wants a Twins ace... can you say "Frank Viola"?

I guess so...I'm still happy with having Brandon Webb though
