Superjohn makes things up and then gets upset when he's called out on the facts.

Here are some facts for him:

1. This is a picture of Pedro Martinez walking off after a strikeout at the end of the 7th inning.

2. Pedro does this when he is done pitching.
3. He walked into the dugout and was immediately greeted by Nomar who congratulated him for only giving up 2 hits.
4. The rest of his teammates then congratulated him.
5. John Henry and the sabremetrics people (at the time, the team employed Bill James) told Grady that Pedro would go no more than 7 innings OR 100 pitches, whichever came first.
6. Pedro had thrown 100 pitches at that point.
7. Grady Little TOLD!!! Pedro that he was going either 7 innings or 100 pitches, whichever came first (which explains why Pedro pointed to the sky when he came off the mound).
8. Pedro expressed surprise when Little told him to go back out for the 8th.
9. John Henry and Lucchino expressed surprise too right by the dugout.
10. Henry uttered the words, "Can we fire him now?"
