2 years ago when I went my first Korean baseball game, I rooted for Doosan because my friend was rooting for LG. Then I had a student who worked at Doosan and could always swing nearly-free tickets. So I'm a fan. But they've been bad the last few years -- which makes this season sweet. And here's why:

Rios has pitched 19 games this season with 13 wins and 3 losses, recording a 1.60 ERA. He�s thrown 4 complete games, 3 of them shutouts. He�s already surpassed last year�s win total of 12.

In the wins column he tops SK�s Kenny Raybourn for the league lead by 2. If he records 7 wins in the 46 games remaining in the second half he will be the first 20-win pitcher since Jeong Min-tae won 20 for Hyundai in 1999.

He has no competition whatsoever in the ERA race, leading second-place Ryu Hyeon-jin of Hanhwa (2.67) by over one full run. He�s second in strikeouts with 89 to Ryu�s 110. So far he�s tossed 140.2 frames, eating up the most innings of any pitcher among the 8 teams in the league. It seems he�ll throw 200 innings for the fourth straight season. And he�s done it all without even a tiny injury.

Yep, they have been having a great season, a large part of that because of Rios. But they really haven't been that bad in the past few years. Last year wasn't the greatest, I think they finished 5th, but 2 years ago they finished in 2nd place. That was a big sweep over SK last weekend.
