If I were he, I'd be a bit less sanguine about an ERA of 5.
do they make this stuff up unwittingly, or do they KNOW how this sounds?
Reminds me of Rosanne Barr's low expectations for herself as a mom back in her standup days -"Hey, if you come home from work and those kids are still alive, I've done my job!"
Check out his peripherals - he was actually pretty good that year. Certainly better than his ERA.
Well I'll be dipped, my quick DIPS Excel sheet sez 4.28. But still, I bet he's just looking at 17 victories and figuring, hey, good season.

It's better than "Big Unit Unexcited By Return To The Rubber"
And yes, it took me way too long to think of that.
As a fan, would you be happy if someone with foresight told you one of your pitchers would win 20 games but his ERA would be 5.50? I would. I'd think, crappy pitcher, but my offense is going to be awesome this year.
[edit] referring to post 7, of course

Yes, very careless to use his suggestive nickname. Why not the cool and businesslike "Randy Johnson excited to be back on the mound"?
