I hope I'm kidding. Well, give it a couple years and you won’t have to worry about it because there won’t be anymore “minority players” (sans Asians) left on the team.

Think about it, he fanned 313 and barely ever gave up home runs. Balls in play were relatively few compared to your average pitcher. Your only hope against Pedro then was to try to put the ball in play and hope for the best. People were lucky and he still man-handled them most of the time.

I searched for all MLB content, but they only seem to offer games from the last two or three seasons. Can you point to his 17 K performance on iTunes?

I hope to one day, though. I haven’t caught him calling out JD Drew for walking when he “should be” driving in runs yet. I hope to one day, though.

Two things: 1) OBVIOUSLY he's not as dominant as Pedro was; but that said... 2) Zack's Game Score from Tuesday: 70. Pedro's average GS, 1999: 69. So what, exactly, did Rice see on *Tuesday* that made him say this?

So what, exactly, did Rice see on *Tuesday* that made him say this?
