Forget The Swirl, RA Will Give You The Dick And The Knuckle
2 straight complete game 1 hitters. Something that hasn’t been done in nearly 25 years. He’s the first pitcher since 1900 to do it with 10 or more strikeouts. He’s got 11 wins, an ERA under 2.50, and more strikeouts than innings pitched through his first 14 starts. There’s only 4 pitchers in history who have ever had as good of a start. Maybe you’ve heard of them:
He hasn’t given up an earned run this month and 3 of his 4 starts have been complete games. The Dickpiece takes the mound, gives you the Knuckle and closes out the game with a Pinch and a Clockwise Swirl. Its absolutely remarkable. I know most people are just gonna chalk this up to me being an overzealous Mets fan but what RA Dickey is doing is nothing short of historic. He’s 37 years old, tossin junk, and putting together one of the greatest seasons of all time. His name is Robert and rather going by Bob or Bobby or Rob he decided to go with the truly absurd R.A. He climbed Mount Kiliminjaro. He fucked his babysitter. He is…the most interesting man in the world.
So I’d say its officially T-shirt time! The dude’s name has Dick in it, his speciality involves a knuckle, and he’s got a signature beard. Coming up with a good t shirt for him shouldn’t be too difficult. As always, I wanna see what the Stoolies can come up with. Send me your email submissions for an RA Dickey t shirt design and if we use your design you get $250.
$250?? no way pres will allow that.. he’s gotta make back the sunk cost of all those good effort shirts laying around the office.
Yeah I remember when Wakefield would go through stretches of being close to unhittable. Course that was always followed up with stretches where he couldn’t get out the batboy so enjoy Mets fans!
RA Dickey on the front
Greatest pitcher ever for a non-playoff team on the back
Hitters getting Knucked, Sitters getting Fucked
THE DICKEY
Do you notice how Liariano is on that? Totally just completely ass fucks your history argument. He’s having a good run but, it is before the All-star break. Relax.
Barstoolhooligan already killed it with the slogan
Something most people don’t know, Sandy Koufax’s son (Sonny), turned out to be a huge liability for him. Once Sandy retired and moved to Florida, Sonny and all his buddies got into a buncha shit in New York. In one instance, they actually lied to social services about being one of their friends so they could adopt a kid. And then he choked out his delivery man.
In 1995 Tim Wakefield started out 14-1, he ended up 16-8. You just jinxed the poor bastard.
RA Dickey is RAD
how about GET DICKED DOWN
One of the greatest seasons of all-time? Dude. No. It’s June. Let’s start there. Secondly if you’re talking about best starts in “history,” and “perhaps you’ve heard of them,” and all that stuff, you might want to qualify that you’re talking about post-expansion. That’s 1961 in case you have zero knowledge of MLB history. If you’re talking “history,” as you said, then you may want to mention Walter Johnson’s 1913 season where he went 36-7 with a 1.14 ERA. He’s a taaaad off that pace eh? So, get your facts straight dude. He’s off to a great start, he’s tossing marbles up there and no one can figure out what to do with it, and that’s awesome. But if you’re going to throw out names and stats, do your homework. What about Charlie “OLD HOSS” Radbourn? 59-12 with a 1.38 ERA! That’s a tired arm!
You guys do know that Dickey throws the knuckler about 10 MPH+ harder than Wakefield right? He’s a lot more unhittable than Wakefield ever was.
Tr1d3nt I’m not talking about post expansion. Those stats are from when earned runs were first compiled as an official stat, meaning 1912 in the NL and 1913 in the AL. So thats including Walter Johnson’s famous 1913 season. Take a lap.
KFC destroying the comment section hero’s ps, just sent you a sick t shirt design, please send me my check, blackdude
KFC, your stat about Big Unit, Loriano, Fartniez and Koo-Foo is exactly right, I didn’t question that. I’m assuming you ripped that from the Post or something. I’m talking about your statement that he’s “putting together one of the greatest seasons of all time.” Again. It’s June. What does that even mean? The greatest seasons of all time are completely insane. The guy is 11-1. That’s amazing. He’s nowhere near one of the greatest seasons of all time. He’s not even a third of the way to any of the top twenty-five (fair number?) greatest pitching seasons of all time. So…yeah…I’ll skip that lap chief.
The Knuckle makes ‘em buckle. The Dick is just sick.
And for my money since we’re talking all-time, Steve Carlton’s 1972 season is the greatest season of all time for any pitcher in MLB history. 27-10 on a Phillies team that won 59 games…total. 1.97 ERA. 0.993 WHIP. 310 SO in 347 IP (that’s crazy). 30 CG in 41 starts. Shit doesn’t even make sense.
The Dickman is juicing.
Liriano is on that list bro, he fucking blows. Sure, Dickey has put together a nice season so far but the Mets will tank in the second half, miss the playoffs by like 15 games and you fucking know it Clancy.
can’t wait for this weekend, when he can pitch to a real lineup. yanks will hit ATLEAST 2 homers off him. and prob run up his ERA to a more suitable 4+
Koufax, Johnson, and Pedro were all coming off of Cy Young years and won the Cy Young in the season you mention…Liriano got hurt that year and hes been trash since then
“The Dick Abides”… guy already looks like The Dude. Maybe throw John Goodman in there with his sweet cargo vest.
“Mess with the Dick, you get the knuckles”
Every week KFC posts something about Dickey dominating, and every week someone says “It’s only April” “It’s only May” ”It’s only June.” Well now it’s almost fucking July you faggots. So kiss my ass and suck Dickey’s Dick you faggots. Dude is the real deal.
