Shocker The Memphis men's basketball team has been charged with major NCAA violations from the 2007-08 season under former coach John Calipari. Through the Freedom of Information Act, the Memphis Commercial Appeal obtained a letter detailing the allegations first reported the story Wednesday. The allegations include "knowing fraudulence or misconduct" on an SAT exam by a player on the 2007-08 team. The redacted player is Derick Rose, according to a source. Click here for more.
Mr. 300 After six inning, three hits and one earned run, San Francisco Giant pitcher randy Johnson notched his 299th career win. It's very likely that we will never see another 300-win pitcher. Here is a list of notable pitchers "nearing 300."
- Randy Johnson -- 299
- Mike Mussina -- 270 (still owned by 1.4% ESPN baseball fantasy users)
- Jamie Moyer -- 249 (he'll reach 300 at age 51 if he wins 10 games per year)
- Andy Pettite -- 219 (mucho mas HGH)
- Pedro Martinez -- 214 (if he comes back and can repeat 1997-2000, then yes)
- John Smoltz -- 210
Aside from Johnson, none of the above will make it. But the following have a chance.
- C.C. Sabathia -- 121 (He's 31. I don't see his body holding up that long)
- Johan Santana -- 116 (He's 30. If he keeps up his 15 wins per year average, he'll be 43).
After those two, the future rests on the young guns. SI's Tom Verducci wrote an article in April highlighting baseball's top young pitchers. Will any of these 10 reach 300? My money is on Lincecum. Dominant stuff, no injuries, but will have to get on a team that can give him run support.
