Welcome Back, Carl Pavano!

Is there a Mendoza line for pitchers?

If one exists, this stat line from yesterday's game would surely be below it:

C Pavano (L, 0-1) 1.0IP 6H 9R 9ER 3BB 1K 2HR ERA:81.00

Anytime a pitcher's ERA is higher than the game-time temperature, there's a reason for concern.

Carl Pavano, once again showing us that he needs to be demoted to my illegitimate son's t-ball team. The only thing I'm upset about is that he's no longer on the Yankee's payroll.

While we're on the subject, here are his numbers in 4 years with the Bronx Bombers:

26 starts, 145.2IP, 182H, 81ER, 23HR, 75K, W-L 9-8, 5.00ERA

All for grand total of $39.95 million dollars, that's only $1.53 million per mediocre start. What a bargain!
