  • Ok, one, Joba Chamberlain did not make his first major league start vs. the pirates, he got his first win as a starter against them but not first ever start. Also, Cody Ransom is not an F'ing rookie. So don't put him in the same question with the rookies
  • Its kinda hard to get every exact thing right when you type that many questions and can't go back to edit it. While at the same time trying not to lose everything that you've typed.
  • #2 should be: What team did Joba Chamberlain get his first Major League win against?
  • it is june 7 when damon went 6-6 i was there
