5/14 Cubs(Marquis) @ Mets(Glavine), 6:10 CT WCIU/ESPN xm 184

Has anyone already mentioned the irony of Dusty's first game broadcasting the Cubs ended on a run scoring directly from a walk (3 to be exact)?

You gotta believe that Dusty got some joy out of last nights game.

I don't think he believes anyone actually won it.

I missed this game. Looks like I avoided some heartache.

I see no way this club does anything of note in '07.

 

This is the worst bullpen I think I've ever seen.

 

You don't recall our bullpen with Alfonsucka or Hawkins then?

 

Well, in a couple years you'll probably be saying, "don't you remember those bozos Howry, Eyre, and Ohman?"

 

It's really that bad. This is definitely in Alfonsucka territory, don't you think? How many leads do they have to blow?

 

Cubs bullpen ERA's:

 

2007: 3.61 (before today)

2006: 4.04

2005: 4.24

2004: 4.03

2003: 4.16

2002: 4.86

2001: 3.93

2000: 5.17

 

This is the best pen the Cubs have had in a while.

 

Meh! I watch every game and this pen is bad. Giving up 10 loses is terrible.

 

ESPN said that the Twins bullpen lost 10 games all year in 2006.

Doesn't matter. Say a starter gives up 6 runs in only 3 innings, the team comes back to tie the game, and the bullpen gives up 1 run late in the game to lose 7-6. In that case, the bullpen was solid (1 run in 6 innings) while the starter was horrible (6 runs in 3 innings) yet the pen gets charged with the loss.

Yeah, but how many times has that happened this year? The starting pitching has been the least of our problems.
