I got all of them with 1:08 left

You got ALL 30 probable opening day starting pitchers for the 2010 MLB season.
Time Remaining: 03:05
The hardest to remember was Jon Garland for San Diego.
Ask me again in 10 years and watch as I nearly have a stroke trying to remember Ubaldo Jimenez.

In ten year you will still remember Ubaldo Jimenez.

That is probable...
but won’t remember that he started opening day for the Rockies in 2010.

lincecum is going to win the NL CY Young every year
until they rename it the “Lincecum Award”
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
If I had a ballot, he probably would have been in the third spot on mine last year.
Not that I have a problem with Carpenter, Wainwright or Vazquez.
10 years from now?
If given 6 minutes? I’m going to say probably not.
I don’t know who won the NL Cy Young in 2000, though I’d guess Randy Johnson.

That was fun
I got all of them except the Padres with 2:00 left. Had to look SD up, couldn’t remember…

Took me a good minute to remember Jake Westbrook

In two days
I’ll only remember half that many if I’m lucky.

Same here.
And I bet if Toronto were playing anyone besides Texas, I would’ve forgot Marcum.
Couldn’t think of Garland for the life of me. Poor SD.

Marcum
Yep, no way I’d remember that, and there’s no way that I’ll remember their starter tomorrow (Tallett) a couple weeks from now.

Wasn't Tallet one of the shitty lefties who shut us out last year?
I’m pretty sure he was.

Ridiculous
I had them all with forever to go except the Padres and… the Blue Jays… Had it stuck in my head that it was Dustin McGowan, and was sure I was just misspelling or something. Anyway, I finished with 59 seconds to go.
Not bad
Finished with 3:41. Hardest for me was spelling Lannan of all people.

Same here, took 30 seconds off my time...

yes, Buehrle is always problematic
but after today, I don’t think I’ll forget
I'm with COCO!!!
by Baseball North on Apr 6, 2010 7:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Same here.
Couldn’t figure out how to spell Lannan but finished with 01:54 remaining of the clock.

same problem
i couldn’t spell buerhle
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
and dammit, Buehrle's name is a curse
in this type of game.

Heh...
I remembered there was an h in there somewhere.
Just spelled it Buerle and then went back and put in an h in every spot ’til it popped up.

Missed 7.
josh johnson
zach duke

jered weaver

Josh Johnson frustrates me because I had “Josh” and couldn’t think of “Johnson.” To be fair, I didn’t know Josh Johnson started yesterday, I just knew the Rays had a good pitcher named Josh.
If the Rays get him, the AL East just got that much more difficult.

Me mistyping that isn't weird.
I make a lot of mistakes. What’s weird is getting corrected about it when that’s already happened.

Pfft.
30/30, 4:11 left, spent a minute looking up how the fuck to spell Buehrle.
Got 26/30
And only because I couldn’t remember the names of Dan Haren and Aaron Harang. I knew who they where but I couldn’t think of their names.
Only two I actually didn’t know where Duke and Gallardo.
Ron Washington is: The Bad Manager - Port of Call New Orleans
westbrook and gallardo
took a while
wolf and carmona were my guesses
would have had no idea about garland but i remember seeing it on espn and being shocked he was starting opening day for someone
I missed Carlos Zambrano
I couldn’t remember what his name was
The most missed so far are
Garland, Feldman and Millwood. Understandable.

Being Dyslexic is a real challenge on stuff like this...
I was having hell spelling King Felix, Buehrle and Lannananana

Yep
And not playing fantasy baseball is a huge detriment. I only got 15

Got em all with 3:36 left
On the IPhone so I figure I get a 30 second credit for that at the least

That Cust quote is awesome
he basically called out Billy Beane for being a moron.
“I think it’s messed up,” Cust said in a phone interview with The Chronicle after leaving the stadium. "They’re going to go on 50 at-bats after three years of what I’ve done here? It’s ridiculous. A lot of other guys have had bad springs. This is a joke.
“The fact is, this team has no power and they’ve just released a guy who (averaged 28 homers) the last three years. That’s amazing.”

And yet in another quote
Cust said he would consider a minor-league assignment with Oakland if he clears waivers
Go Rice Owls!
Another player with
old players skills. A good age 28 peak, and that was about it for him.

26/30
Missed Garland, Baker, Shields and Duke. No way I would have gotten Marcum if he hadn’t just pitched against the Rangers.
Embarassed that I forgot Baker and Shields…feel that it’s fitting I forgot SD and Pit
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
I also got 26/30
I missed Millwood, Duke, Garland, and Haren.

And what would be our equivalent?

28/30
missed Westbrook & Garland.
Last week on the Ranger quiz I was a sad 142/190 and somehow forgot Nolan Ryan. That score is really sad considering how close I follow the team and how much Ranger minutae is bouncing around my baseball brain.
Freaking time clock made me choke plus it was early in the morning (didn’t have coffee yet).
