Maddux against Clemens. Two future first ballot hall of famers will go at it tonight as the Cubs take on the Astros in Houston. If you get WGN on cable/satellite, you may want to tune in.
IMO, Clemens has had a much better year thus far, but no run support. Maddux has had a better time since his first couple of outings.

Remember these Chuck Norris Facts
1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris

<< <i>as to whether Clemens is the greatest pitcher of all time. I believe that's possible. >>
I'll say Clemens is truly a great pitcher, arguably the greatest of this era, but to say he's the greatest of all time?
That could be a bit of a stretch...and I think with today's constant visibility, we tend to lean towards modern players as the best all time. It was like when ESPN did their all time best athletes and had Jordan #1, Ruth #2 (I'd argue Ruth should have easily been #1).
I agree that Jordan as the greatest "athlete" was a total joke. This was already discussed in a thread a while ago. My opinion is that they voted Jordan #1 simply because he helps brings them advertising revenue from all of the ads he is in. If Jim Thorpe was in some ads, then it would have been Jim Thorpe as the greatest athlete which it should have been.
I am well aware of the difficulties if not the impossiblilities of comparing players of different eras. And I didn't say Clemens was definitely the greatest pitcher, but I think he has to merit consideration as the greatest pitcher of all time.
Sure, why not!
