    Mass Hysteria!

    Sorry KOZ but you can no longer make fun of Peavy's lack of run support unless you want mass hysteria. Its kind of a touchy subject for some reason

    Hell, didn't David Wells throw a perfecto?

    I went with Verlander, when he is on his game his stuff is unhittable.

    Why's that?

    He isn't "dominating?"

    Let's look at the past 4: Johnson, Cone, Wells, Rogers.

    13, 10, 11, 8.

    Wang could strike out 8 on a good day...he also has the stamina to pitch 9 and he gets a lot of ground balls...why is he a worse candidate than anyone you posted?

    It doesn't matter how hittable a pitcher is, it matters how effective they are, and Wang, since he's so hittable, may be the most effective pitcher in baseball.

    He has a better shot than Bedard, Haren, actually a bunch of these ****ers

    Wang took one into the 8th last year.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Typical that Wang doesn't last long?

    you have to admit it, Harden and Wang have such easy names

    With Joba and Mo, I'm not saying he is the king of complete games...I'm saying there's only one other pitcher I can think of who's effective that late into the game, and he's really the guy I think should be #1 on this list:

    Roy Halladay

    Re: Most Likely To Throw Perfect Game

    Wang is no ace so I didn't put him up there. Plus like KOZ said, he doesn't go deep into games like every Yankees starter. I don't see how he has a better shot than most of those ****ers. I wouldn't even put Wang in the class of Johnson, Cone, Wells or Rogers. Wang's good but not that good. He would be the number three pitcher for the Giants behind Cain and Lincecum. You are right about Halladay though.

    Wait, the guy who's won more games than anyone over the last 2 seasons would be the Giants #3, with practically the same ERA as Cain in a much tougher league, and a better ERA than Lincecum who hasn't even pitched one full season?...wow, I would love to have somebody explain this logic to me. And why can't Wang get up there when he's come closer than probably anybody on that list to throwing a perfect game??

    Wang's won more games for the Yankees than anyone over the last 2 seasons?

    Did he score the runs for them in those games?
