There are some athletes you're not allowed to criticize.
Michael Jordan. Tiger Woods. Lance Armstrong.
Sandy Koufax is one of those guys.
I've always felt he was overrated. I hear people talk about him as the greatest left-handed pitcher of all-time, and I've never agreed.
I did a little bit of research and this is what I came up with. I would love if you could take a look. I spent more time on this than any article I have ever written in my entire life, and as a result, it is LONG.
I actually had to trim it a little - evidently articles can't be over 5,000 words - but I like what I came up with. You don't have to read it all, but I would love if you would.
Thanks.

You are so right. After they sweep the Phillies they will be calling Jerry Manuel a Manager of the Year candidate. WTF! What else can we stir the troops up with? First I tried trading away the core, then firing Jerry, you got anything new we can sling out to the uninformed? I'm game.

Hey,
Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.
