The Big Unit currently has 3,992 strikes, 8 away from being only the 4th member of the 4,000 strikeout club. The only other members are Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, and Steve Carlton.

 

Randy Johnson is pitching tonight against the Padres tonight at 9:30 PM EST, you'll be able to watch the game on MLB.TV or MLB Extra Innings. Also, once the Big Unit gets his 3,999 i'm sure ESPN will probably cut into their broadcast and show him going for 4,000.

 

I've got my Tivo set

EDIT: He just got number 4,000, congrats Randy.

Good luck Unit.

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

 

Congrats Randy, you deserve this, you are a class act, and always have been.

I hope the D'Backs could pull out this game and win it for him.

If he gets to old to be a starting pitcher, he could be a closer until he's 50

Well, it's 3-2 now with Bautista's HR.

Agreed. He can still throw 98 and that slider is lethal as ever.

Off of Otsuka too, damn.

Yes, he's still going strong.
