The world's froemost authority on all this is a guy named Edgar Allen uh...I forget his last name, but he's the man to ask.
There is a typo in that article, it's 121 strikeouts. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodrial01.shtml I was thinking the same as you, and there was no fucking way in my head.
Thanks for the correction...then the other guy with the 31 Ks is the incredible one then. Whoever he is. ARod is a scumbag...I'm glad it wasn't that...such a fucking crybaby and I'll never forget that "poor me, I was led astray as a young kid" (of 23/24!) press conference after the roids use came out. I 've said it before and I'll say it again...I knew "kids" tht had TWO combat tours by the time they were 22 years old...and were making an infantryman's pay. Fuck Arod.
If my dog in the avatar could speak-that's what he would say...he backed a cat into a corner the other day-an old, experienced tom, and I kept him at bay enough so the cat wouldn't slash him...but I must say, the tom flashed 3 strikes at what would probably have been his yes, claws out, in a matter of less than second. Amazing speed. Not as fast as a rattler strike, or a deep sea angler fish strike, but a blur. IMO, a dog, unless he's got the cat in his jaws, has little chance against a cat without losing an eye or a large chunk of his body somewhere. It boils down to the cat would be killed, but more often than not, the dog will be fucked up and the cat will escape. Talk about bat speed. Cat speed.
agreed when i was a baby my mom had a white persian cat named yuki i loved that cat when i was about 10, there was this loose dog roaming the neighborhood some sort of white shepherd mix and the dog had killed several cats well one day the dog cornered yuki when the dog finally made a lunge toward her yuki responded with a megaspeed swipe slit the dog's throat he bled out yuki got a story in the local paper
I don't care what anyone thinks, but Cats are bad-ass. They get a bad rap, but I admire they're independence, grace and agility. Yeah, I can do without some of their quirks like fucking scratching posts and catnip and shit, but they're pretty awesome. I don't like prissy, fluffy cats though if that makes sense.
Cats are a physically admirable species, but the problem lies in the unavoidable desire to compare them to dogs. One was bred to take verbal and physical cues and live symbiotically with humans, the other was bred to live in a barn and kill mice. I will repeat that last part, kill mice. Cats are ok as long as you don't compare them to dogs. Dogs are the shit.
Good point. And one other thing people forget or never realize, is that no matter how cute and relatively small they all are...terriers...every last one of them , including cutesy Maltese and Yorkies, are bred to kill. that's it. That's what people need to know about their personalities. Kill. Every single breed...except maybe the Boston. Killing machines. Dobermans and German Shephards and Rottwellers are not even bred for this. Not originally. Pit bulls are.
