Board 8 > RA Dickey is the best pitcher in baseball right now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh my god, he is incredible. I've never seen anything like it before. 11-1, 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP....and that includes a start in the rain in Atlanta early in the season where he went 4 1/3 and gave up 8 runs (his ERA would be 1.33 without that start). Back to back 1 hit shutouts. He's in a streak right now of 42 2/3 innings without an earned run allowed. He has 71 strikeouts and six walks in his last seven starts. Absolutely amazing.

Too bad his team got together like a band of idiots and combined to make him give up an unearned run last game

But still he's just gone insane

Never stoop to the level of idiots. They will drag you down and beat you with experience.

And besides his pitching, his personal story is just incredible. I have his memoir sitting on my desk, haven't started reading it yet, I can't wait much longer though.

I've wanted that book since listening to him on this: http://soundcloud.com/bullseye-with-jesse-thorn/r-a-dickey

So happy he's succeeding like this right now.

SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest. Good job.

Amazing story. Unfortunate that he's playing it out with the Mets, but still sorta happy for him.

RA Dickey: Molested as a child, then forced to play his best years of baseball as a Met.


Truly a tragic tale.

His five straight starts of 0 ER and 8+ Ks is the longest streak in MLB history.

My brain is still struggling to comprehend the fact that R.A. Dickey is probably the leading candidate for the NL Cy Young right now.

This makes no sense. It makes no f***ing sense. I remember when he was here in Seattle and he was atrocious.

Truly it is Dickey to R.A. Rhyme.

it is a well known fact that all baseball players suck the moment they put on a mariners uniform and only get good after they leave, I know

still, R.A. Dickey what the f***

I don't know about atrocious. He was certainly no Pedro Feliciano though.

I haven't checked my stats but I'm pretty sure Dickey had the best ERA of all pitchers with a losing record last year (given some min starts obv)

So Ichiro would be even more of a demigod?

probably, I can only assume that Ichiro is simply being held back, or maybe he only succumbed to the seattle curse last year and that's why he all of a sudden sucks balls

the yankees hit home runs everywhere but the grand canyon for a reason. LOL citi field. it's fun to look at, and not to play in.

Either way that's a bad argument because even in popup home run land you guys can't hit your way out of a paperbag. Your entire lineup is so boring it's made up of no name after no name.

and to think espn was saying how the mets were better like 20 games ago. I guess writers had nothing that day LOL!!!!!

Really Amazing Dickey

*~Swift~*

Give me high quality pitching over high quality hitting anyday!
8-7 games are much less fun than 1-0 games imho

Yeah I know we couldnt hit as many out of 4Kids Stadium as you guys could... still got a few, but hey... 3 is a small sample size yet!

And who cares if the names are big or not if theyre playing exciting baseball and winning 4 games over .500?? Sounds fine to me!

SuperNiceDog: Guru winner

it's because you're in the joke NL east that we're spanking left and right. lol 4kids stadium, the center field/left center and right center are still fairly deep. our guys hit the home runs everywhere, not just to corners on pull.

as for high quality pitching, over the past insane 20 for 22 the yankees have gone (something like that) their 5 starters have been terrific and BP the best.

so yeah, have fun getting ripped in a few days
