One of my favorite sites, and this post in discussion was gold.
Jon (Phoenix, AZ): Which Pitcher would you rather have this year? Roger Clemens or Randy Johnson?
Joe's Brain: That's a very good question. Maybe I could cop out a little bit by saying it depends on the team I'm on.
Joe Morgan: That's a very good question. I could cop out a little bit by saying it depends on the team I'm on.
Joe's Brain: Dude, I was just thinking! You typed that in and sent it!
Joe's Fingers: Sorry, man.
Joe' Brain: Oh boy. Backpeddle. Backpeddle.
That's one of those almost coin-flip situations. The Yankees needed Roger Clemens more than they would need Randy Johnson.
Joe's Brain: Should I justify that somehow? No. I don't know how. Just plow forward.
Arizona needs Johnson more than they need Clemens.
Joe's Brain: Don't justify that either. Just keep going.
If you're asking which will win the most games from this point on, I would say Johnson has an easier chore than Clemens because he's in the NL, where it's easier to pitch. You can't go wrong picking either one.
Joe's Brain: Whew. Totally pulled that off. Definitely got away with that. Mental note: when someone asks you whether one person is better than the other, just say they're both good. Works every time. I mean, there's no way to actually tell who's better. There's no machine that has like everyone's statistics all compiled and everything.
Joe's Computer: You've got mail!
Joe's Brain: Shut up, you stupid toaster!
