Greatest pitching duo

[clydepepper]

For consistency, I think Maddux and Glavine were difficult to top. One thing about having multiple aces on the same staff is that there aren't nearly as many multiple game loosing streaks. From the time Maddux signed 'til the time Glavine did not, there were very few loosing streaks.

but others to consider are:

Spahn & Sain
Marichal & Perry
RJ & Schilling
Pedro & Schilling
Plank & Bender
Feller & Lemon
Hunter & Blue
Halladay & Cliff Lee (I remember when THIS staff got together...talk was of dynasty and Halladay was considered the best pitcher in baseball)

by the way, isn't it curious how fickle the opinion of who is the greatest active pitcher can be....while right now, there's a little stability with Kershaw....Halladay and Verlander ranked at the top prior to that.

speaking of prior...


Mark Prior & Kerry Wood (if only they had stayed heathy)
