The Numbers Game
IN 10 seasons at the University of Kentucky, Tubby Smith compiled a very impressive 263-83 record and won a national championship. And yet Smith just bolted Lexington for Minnesota, where, presumably, a .760 winning percentage is something to be proud, not ashamed, of.
In two seasons with the Phillies, Jon Lieber has gone 26-24, with a 4.52 earned run average. And yet Lieber thinks this thoroughly mediocre tenure entitles him to tell his bosses how he should be used.
Odd world, sports.
Lieber pisses me off. Do something, get into some sort of shape and win some games before bitching all of the time.
Earn your spot in the rotation and then there will be no question about it.
