| Randy Johnson? What on God's green earth is this guy thinking still pitching? I mean, seriously, with San Fran? I know the money is addicting but this guy was past his prime 4 or maybe even 5 years ago. Nice little ERA of 8+ so far this season too. What goes through these guys minds when they reach this point in their career?

| I know for a fact he hung Drayton McClain over the barrel when he was in Houston. God knows what "the Boss" gave him for his short tenure there.

| And now he's been promptly given the hook after giving up 5 runs off 8 hits in the 4th inning to the Dodgers. Its time to hang them up.

| He is no doubt one of the best in our generation. With that said, he doesnt need to become a "has been" who is running on fumes for the next one.

| 300 wins is his main goal now. He's probably retired after this year.
It's not like he was terrible last year though. ERA+ of 117 which is above average. |
