Pavano looked well above average...

you are [censored] retarded. great, he looked well above average - his ERA for the year is still 4.76. In fact, that's a pretty good over/under for his ERA for the year, though taking the over still seems like a safe bet.

Jaret Wright had plenty of starts like this - if Pavano strikes out 2 batters per 7 innings, he is not likely to have great success.

4.76 e.r.a- so this means he didn't look good today?

jareght wright- completely different, couldn't pitch more than 5 innings

strikeouts- he's a sinker ball pitcher Ground ball double plays are way more important for him than strikeouts

yes, he looked good. that is what average pitchers do - they look good one game, and bad the next. this is why they are average. I was excited to see Pavano have a good game, but these games will be rare. His ERA should hover around 5 until he invents an injury to put himself on the shelf.
