Default Duque, the anti-Trachsel

I can honestly say Trachsel was just about the most painful Mets pitcher to watch over the long haul with his "style". I even blew off a game I had good seats for cause he was pitching. Sure enough, he got pummeled that night.

El Duque, by contrast, is one of the most entertaining pitchers to watch.

I once told my 7 year old nephew that I would take him to a Mets game. We drove to the back of stadium where they are building the Citi Field during an away game. There read a sign coming soon 2009 Mets. I told him the Mets play all there games on road until 2009. He cried all the way home.

Very funny. A nice take on the "Disney World" deep thoughts.

I'm waiting for Duque to knock himself out with the knee jerk leg kick.

Aside from "entertainment value", he's the anti-Trax based on ERA vs W/L.

Trax won 15 with an ERA near 5; Duque won't come close with an ERA around 3.

BTW--Can anyone explain why Trax has a lower ERA pitching in a hitters' park in the ALE than he did pitching at Shea last year?
