Did the Orioles finally stop paying Albert Bell or something?

Ha ha ha! I think that they did that last year. They are still paying Sidney Ponson to sit around and eat ho-ho's, so don't you worry...

Oooh, goody! Almost makes you forget that 11-15 record and the 5.30 era and 1.55 whip. That, and the 40 extra pounds does not a number one starter make.
 
 Believe me, I would like to see the Orioles make some good moves (and they made one in signing Tejada). But they don't, and Angelos doesn't respect his fans.

I didn't realize Angelos had any fans.

Bartolo Colon is the exception to that rule.

But his ERA was nearly the same as Ponson's. Colon got much better run support.

 Colon actually pitched alot of good games, his ERA was inflated by a bunch of bad outings at the beginning of the year when his back hurt but wouldnt admit it at the time. I'm sure the extra poundage added to the ailing back.

well yeah, you could say the same thing about Ponson

 Maybe, but starting 3-12 (Ponson) is more than a few bad starts. Not that I think Colon is an ace either, mind you.

Ben Sheets was 3-9 after the all-star break, with a 2.70 ERA.
 
 Yes, Ponson was bad, but he wouldn't have been 3-12 on the Yankees.

 At the all-star break, Ponson's ERA was 6.11. Colon's was 6.38.

He's one of the few examples, yes.

Would have had a losing record if he played for Arizona.

 What does Ben Sheets have to do with anything?
 
 Ponson wasn't on the Yankees, so it's useless to speculate. However, giving up 6 runs every 9 innings isn't likely to win many games regardless of who you play for.
 
 All of Colon's statistics this season are better than Poson's, ERA, WHIP, K/9, opposing BA, the whole 9 yards...he even weighs less.

I'm saying stating a win/loss record is pretty useless. Case in point, Ben Sheets

Ok, then see the third line of the post above yours, and realize that Ponson had a horrible season by any standard.
