	Didnt get a single Oriole and I watch them play 18 times a year?!

	I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel for the '90's. Which would actually make it a prequel, I suppose.

	so many pitchers...so little time.

	ironsij0287:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 18:10 GMT		2 points
	I made a 90s version last month. http://www.sporcle.com/games/ironsij0287/1990kpitchers

	Ahhh, the Grand Tanyon. The least amount of Ks for anyone on this list. Fitting.

	tmxicon:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 20:26 GMT		8 points
	You know you have had pitching woes when a dead guy, one who didn't even play 3 full seasons, shows up in your Top 5 anything.

	JohnJF:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 20:51 GMT		0 points
	If there was any consistency in the world, the comments would be littered with people complaining about the need for asterisks.

	ArtVark:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 23:53 GMT		1 point
	What surprises me is that the pitcher who was picked least is leading his team in strikeouts.

	PKFlashOmega:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 00:01 GMT		3 points
	I coulda sworn Rick Vaughn was on this list for Cleveland... or am I thinking of the wrong decade?

	bella16:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 02:34 GMT		0 points
	I was hoping that Strasburg would be a bonus...

	Seattle_Will:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 05:39 GMT		3 points
	You could have handed me a list of every Ranger in the decade, and I still wouldn't have picked Joaquin Benoit.

	That was great. 90/150... can't believe I forgot Haren and Lowe.

	ChiSoxND12:	Jan 29th, 2012 at 19:47 GMT		1 point
	142, I personally think Jason Frasor is the most difficult guy to come up with. A long tenured RP who's never had an exceptionally high K/9 ratio

	TheChoker:	Dec 4th, 2012 at 17:02 GMT		1 point
	Gil Meche. How in the world did he get that big contract from the Royals. Also; remember when 5/$55M was a big contract? Six years ago?

	forneverandafter:	Apr 6th, 2013 at 01:38 GMT		1 point
	I feel bad as an Orioles fan only getting two pitchers (B.J. Ryan was a lucky guess, so the only one I actually guessed was Bedard), but then again, I feel bad as an Orioles fan that Orioles management gave us those 5 pitchers. Coulda done better Angelos...coulda done better.
