Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Wednesday, September 03, 2008
Truth is, Gaylord Perry is quite relieved. The Hall of Fame pitcher doesn’t mind one bit that Indians left- hander Cliff Lee has won 20 games and sto len the glory that the 69-year-old once held in Cleveland lore.
“I’ve been an swering questions about 20 wins for 34 years,” Perry drawled in his Southern twang last week, “so I’m glad it’s somebody else’s turn.”
...“When I go over all the pitchers that have been there since I’ve been there, and they didn’t win 20, I was kind of shocked,” Perry said. “They get to 19 and quit. It’s good for the game. It’s good for the Indians.”
So Sabathia, Carmona, Blyleven and Barker are quitters? Ok, I’ll give you Blyleven (ducks loaded-up Baseball Analysts mug).

Yup. Last year on August 24th, Sabathia pitched a game where he gave up 2 runs to the Royals. If only he had made Grady, Victor, and Hafner hit better, he would've gotten his 20th win.
