Fireworks, the baseball gods have noted your fairness via the quick followup, and will withhold their thunderbolts of vengeance. 🙂

Of course Vargas just gave Seattle a 5th guy and Gorzelanny is barely over 100 to be Washington's 5th but needs to make 2 or 3 more starts before he'll qualify.

John Autin I would like to point out that not only is Burnett at 100 and Nova at 99, but that Colon now qualifies again. 🙂

Well, Burnett got to 100, so the yankees are on your list until Colon drops off qualifying, now.

You get the last laugh, Fireworks ... for now.

Aaaaand there we go. Yankees make this list until after they play their next game when Colon no longer qualifies.

@61, Fireworks -- Did you really use the words "A.J. Burnett" and "quality start" in the same sentence? :) Oh, alright ... he does have 7 QS this season, in 16 starts. But wake me up when he has a scoreless game; that'll be real news. :)

Since I'm a Yankees fan I'll mention the Yankees. Colon 131 (although with only 78.1 IP he will fail to be qualified in a couple days) Sabathia 125 Garcia 123 Burnett 98 (a quality start tonight should get him on the right side of 100) Nova 96 (If he can duplicate what he did in Cincinnati he too will be on the right side of 100). Just had to point out that the "head case", "junkballing vet", "hot-dog eating contest contestant" and youngster have done okay so far. If the offense weren't so consistently feast-or-famine the first 6-7 weeks the Yanks would be first to 50 wins.

@59, Neil -- Yeah, I was really impressed by Hanrahan when he faced the Mets recently. Seemed a different pitcher than when he was with Washington -- better command.

Hey, at least Joey Bats is back on track!

@43
JA, a really good closer will make your starters look good. Look at how Hanrahan slammed the door on the Jays tonight for his 23rd save.
