So, if the Nats convinced Pudge to come out of retirement, would it be valid to compare Pudge's career stats to McCann's to claim that the Nats are as solid behind the plate as Atlanta.<br /><br />Maholm is 9-6 3.74 ERA this year with the crappy Cubs and 1.2 WHIP. In his last 6 starts Maholm has pitched into the 7th in each game and has not given up more than 1 earned run. Yes, Lannan may have been an equal or better pitcher than Maholm in 2009 and 2010, but not now. Really hate when someone who knows better throws out a totally irrelevant stat to try to prove a point. Still like the Nats chances to finish ahead of the Braves, but to try to claim Maholm and Lannan are equals right now is really stupid.<br /><br />Mike Rizzo would take Paul Maholm right now ten times out of ten over Jon Lannan.Pilchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596434657477682005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-17628942669124058052012-07-31T07:52:28.366-04:002012-07-31T07:52:28.366-04:00How many players are going to walk around on eggsh...How many players are going to walk around on eggshells today?

I read through 211 posts, almost a third of them from one poster, and a large portion of them were mean spirited, snotty personal attacks against other posters, especially the ladies on this blog. It's quite obvious that this guy doesn't like women.
