September 7, 200521 yr 19 wins and here we go. Will he do it? Be the first marlin ever to hit that 20 mark? He has had an amazing year either way. This does make two years in a row that a marlins pitcher has been named in the running for Cy Young. Either way for whatever happens. He is a pleasure to watch everything out and in my eyes D-Train represents everything that is good and pure in baseball. :notworthy
September 7, 200521 yr He is a pleasure to watch everything out and in my eyes D-Train represents everything that is good and pure in baseball. :notworthy 933417[/snapback] Beautifully said.
September 7, 200521 yr Hopefully history in the making tonight!! What a great 2 1/2 year run it has been for the D-Train and you know that he's only getting started! :notworthy
September 7, 200521 yr i hope i get it tonight on espn in otown 933427[/snapback] You don't have Sun Sports?
September 7, 200521 yr Go Train! It's your birthday! Go Train.... ooooh ooooh!!! :notworthy Lets get it done baby. Can somebody tell me how in the hell we are still in this race? We have been playing pretty damn bad. Is that a good sign??
September 7, 200521 yr D-train is probably one of the best if not the best pitcher ever to wear a Marlins uniform. Just a question thouhg, all the espn guys say there will probably never be a nother 300 game winner, do you think that if dtrain keeps up this streak of impressive seasons, he could be nearing 300 towards the end of his career?

At 21, he had 14 wins. He had 10 wins last year, and 19 this year. He's only 23 years old, and he has 43 wins. At this rate, even if he only averages 14 wins a year for the next 10 years (very possible), he'll have 183 wins. And he'll only be 33. But something tells me he'll be getting a few more 15 + win seasons :thumbup

It's all about his health. He's never been significantly injured thus far...but he is an all out player, and hopefully he doesn't break a bone sliding headfirst....or something like that.
September 7, 200521 yr Haven't we learned anything about threads like this on game day? :confused 933486[/snapback] Ya, it's bologna. The other day I posted about 10 different messages in the game thread saying the marlins would win, and that d train would win. He won.
September 7, 200521 yr Author D-train if he wins 21 games this year would be winning an average of 15 games a year. If he kept up that pace he would need to play for another 17 years to end up becoming a 300 Game pitcher. Tells you how amazing it is what Maddux and others have done.

I expect him to get 4-5 20 win years but perhaps 4-5 10 win years Why I just did the average there

September 7, 200521 yr No Marlins on TV for me today, but at least I get to watch the Mets vs. Braves on 2 channels today and not just one. :plaindance
September 7, 200521 yr D-Train has already said he wants to be a career Marlin. I love his character, his heart, and his passion for the game. He plays it the right way and Big Tex and The AJ should take note, as should Vargas(but I already think he is following in the same mode, he just doesn't have the electricity yet), and Olsen when he joins the rotation next season.

I like that MB.com is run by The Admin.

But you never know :grins: My hope would be for him to get to 300 wins in 12 years lol. It would mean he would be even better then now. But, one can hope. If he gets to 300 and all in teal? Wow what a show it would be There is 2 players I want to see the marlins lock up for good. D-train and Miggy.

Where did Big Tex come from? You can always just call him by his name.
September 7, 200521 yr The game isn't on national tv, is it? 933460[/snapback] I'm scheduled to get it in New York on ESPN2, so I'm assuming it is.
