Penny is the next Sandy!!!

Is Brad Penny the next Sandy Koufax? Okay well, he is not Jewish (at least I do not think he is), but the guy has seven wins this year and an ERA of about 2.00. Doesn't that make him the next Sandy (isn't that a girl's name) Koufax? Maybe the next Fernando V (I don't know how to spell his last name and it's a pain to look up), or Orel H (ditto with the name!). I think so!

oh please put down the keyboard before you hurt yourself...Tavarez of the +4.00 lifetime ERA is horrible this year...Okijima is good...for about an inning...

though to be fair, Penny is no Sandy...

(PS...what'sa mikes?)

Koufax was consistant for seasons, and Penny just has a good start.

Brad Penny is not Jewish. (I know that for sure)

Sandy Koufax's real name is Sanford Koufax. Sandy is a nickname.

He is good, but not legendary.

If anybody is crazy, it's you.

Look outside the box, since there are plenty other players outside Boston's line-up.

Re: Penny is the next Sandy!!!

I don't hate Boston. I'm just a Yankees fan, too.

By the way, Boston loves the Dodgers.

Where did JD Drew and Pedro Martinez come from?

Hmm... used to follow the Dodgers a lot in my younger days. Penny may be good, but he's no Koufax. He's also no Valenzuela, Hershiser, Drysdale, Mike Marshall, etc. etc. Got a long way to go before he cracks the best hurlers the Dodgers have seen throughout the years. But he is a pretty good one.

Well, its not like I lived way back when. I looked all this up today, and Penny sounded as good. Besides, Marc says you can't really compare different eras. Is Marc wrong?

It's all about where they are today and what they are accomplishing.
