I was happy to see Stephen Strasburg make history last night. He seems like a good guy and I have nothing against the Nationals. Also, after so many years of "chicks dig the long ball" it's a nice change to see pitching get the upper hand. On the other hand, before you name your kid after him or get his face tattooed on your ... arm I have two words for you---
KERRY WOOD. I still like Kerry (even as an Indian) but he's a reminder that young pitchers, as great as they seem, can break down. Let's hope this doesn't happen with Strasburg and we get to witness the next really great pitching star.

Only difference and positive for Strasburg is he doesn't have Dusty Baker to ruin his arm a la Wood and Prior.
