    Seems only right that our first baseball post should be about the sport's greatest living meme, Big Sexy.

        I don't think management was prepared for his sexiness.

      When he was with the Mets he said he promised his mother he would pitch until he was 45 (mission accomplished) and he wanted to pass Juan Marichal to become the all-time leader in wins by a Dominican pitcher (2 wins to go). So we were expecting this season to be his last. But if he continues to pitch well and he's still enjoying it he might just keep on going for another year or two. If he keeps command of his fastball there will always be teams that will want him.

        Love watching the old guys play for sure. I remember when Jamie Moyer was on the Phillies he was breaking an "old guy record" pretty much every time he stepped on the mound.
