Tampa Devil Rays
Milwaukee Brewers
Washington Nationals
Philadelphia Phillies
Seattle Mariners
Colorado Rockies
Houston Astros
San Diego Padres

reasonably comfortable with this... one I'm iffy on, with a replacement team.

One of your NL teams is incorrect (figured I'd narrow it down a bit for ya).

Go Ducks! :twisted:

Remove Philly, go with....

San Fransico Giants?

oh and GO RED WINGS! :twisted:

Not the Giants, either...

Game 1, tomorrow night... It's going to be a hell of a series.

You know who we haven't heard from in a while? Jeff Bagwell (weird, I think this is my second Astros related question). Which team originally held the rights to this budding talent, but traded him... for whom?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri May 11, 2007 9:59 pm

Red Sox. Larry Anderson. If I want to bug my roommate, I bring up this trade... (funny thing, tho, I think I might have asked this question back in the early days of the thread)

Anyway.

New (very easy) question: who was the last pitcher to win 30 games, what year was it, and what team did he play for?

Was it Denny Mclain back in 1968 for detroit?

It was indeed. Serbia's gonna hate you for snagging that. :lol:

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri May 11, 2007 10:51 pm

I know.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri May 11, 2007 10:53 pm

Anyways - on the reverse side of things, who posted the highest number of losses in a season while winning the Cy Young?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Fri May 11, 2007 10:56 pm

That's a good one. I have no idea.

But I'll guess... I dunno, Nolan Ryan? I can totally see a situation where he lost like 13-14 games in a season, but won 18-19 and struck out 400 guys and posted a low-ish ERA.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Sat May 12, 2007 4:25 pm

Nope. This was one that I actually got wrong - my guy missed by one, guess I could accept both :wink:

but no, Ryan is not the guy I;m looking for.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Mon May 14, 2007 5:06 pm

Good guess, Roger does have 6 cy youngs, but none in which he lost much more than 10 games, as I recall.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Mon May 14, 2007 5:16 pm

Well, let's go with another stab in the dark.... Bob Gibson?

I'll tell you when.

Tom Seaver? He played long enough...

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Tue May 15, 2007 12:40 am

Clarification: I'm talking about most losses by a Cy Young winner in the season he won it.
