Virgin,

What is your obsession with this???

Would every body please ring in with their vote to shut this guy up, PLEASE???

My vote would be Billy Chapel, I think if he didn't give up that homer to Roy Hobbs in the ninth inning of the Series he would have easily won the CY!!!

I'm gonna place my entry and maybe you two can get past this . 1st off Virg , this question is subjective base on the person answering who he thinks is the greatest pitcher . Windy the Twins hater thinks its Billy Chapel and I'm going to say its Babe Ruth . Of course it could be Satchel Page too . See what I mean ? Virg , just give your take on who you think it might be and you and Windy can move onto a different topic . By the way , did you know that Cy , of Cy Young fame , was a nickname that was short for Cyclone ? His real name was Fenton or Denton , something like that .

I might have to change my vote, I am thinking that Rick "Wildthing" Vaughn should get some consideration. If he wasn't bothered so much by his nephew Jake, his brother Alan and his boss, Gordon Geko, I think he could have won more than the two World Series that the Indians did. Sorry that it was against my Pale Hose but he deserves some consideration.

Thoughts???

Windy,

With your permission, I would like to nominate Kyle Lohse, Twin's reject, current Cincy Red. Did I mention he shutout the Cubs today? grin.gif

Just gettin' my cheap shots in before that $300 million dollar batting order wakes up Geno.

I agree with you Rip, he could have cut his hand when he was messing around with that samuri sword with Whitney Houston also! And Spinner, I will second that vote as well. Lohse looked awful good laying the Cubbies down today. How many trips do you think he will make in the NL before they are onto his pitches like the AL hitters were?

That's alright guys, lay it on me. After all, I could be called worse than a "Cubbie lover".....Nappy-headed comes to mind.

The problem is I don't have much ammo to fight back with so like when we were young, I'll just ignore you and you'll get tired of picking on a defenseless guy and just go away.

(Don't go away mad, just go away!)

Somehow or another I got the impression this question was orginally about the best pitcher not to win a WS. Anyway, on another thread, I nominated Ferguson Jenkins-one (of a handful of) great Cub pitcher who also lost alot of 1-0 games-and one of the best "command" pitchers of my time for sure.

PS Sorry I don't remember Major League, or The Natural, or that other movie about baseball.

To some degree they have already. Lohse has good stuff, but was and is a head case. He gets hit hard every third start, and very effective every third start. NL is his only chance. He can survive over there for years IMO, but only with a very attentive pitching coach. High maintenance he is for sure, as predicted by most here. He is lucky steady decent pitching is hard to find.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
