Making Stephen Strasburg Better

This is Washington Nationals rookie phenom pitcher Stephen Strasburg. He's so awesome that all kinds of sportswriters declared him one of the best pitchers of all-time before playing a single major league game. In his first three starts he's posted a record of 2-0, an ERA of 1.86, a WHIP of 0.78, motherfucking 32 strikeouts, and opposing batters are only hitting .149 against him. I'd compare him to Jesus if it wasn't so horribly offensive to do so. Implying that Jesus holds a candle to him is an unforgivable insult against Strasburg's greatness.

I assumed it was impossible to make him any better, but I was wrong. In my recent visits to the GameFAQs baseball message board, many of us have been actively participating in a topic where the goal is to take the above picture of Strasburg and use the magic of MS Paint to make him better. The results were stunning. Check it out:

MantleNotMouse served up this gem, and then shouted "Cowabunga!", ate a shitload of pizza, and made sarcastic comments for good measure:


Philumcious Phil fired right back with this:
