Thanks bass, I was able to finagle the #s to figure out mine, but nice to have the full list.

When visiting B-R this morning, I had a bunch of trojan viruses attack my computer. It's all better now, but for those with weak security systems, you might want to stay away from there for a little while. I have a modem, two routers and virus protection and it still found its way through, and that almost never happens to my system.

 

First time I've had that issue with B-R and I visit that sit practically everyday.

 

Just an FYI, carry on.

Wow, that's great. Thanks.

Thanks for also proving my point. Still waiting for that HOF pitcher list to enlighten me.

 

How did that prove your point? Zambrano has a better winning percentage than 41 of the the 68 pitchers in the HOF. Are you saying that Zambrano is a HOF pitcher?

 

$2 million+ per win in 2009. What a bargain, Hendry. Oh wait..his VORP and WHIP were great. =D> =D>

 

Again, this season is the only season since Z was 22 (I believe) that he has not won at least 13 games. If you want to put stock in pitcher wins, then Z has been extremely consistent over his career in that stat.

Further destroying the use of wins as a stat, lets look at the starts in which Zambrano didn't get a win.

 

 

April 11 - (QS) When Carlos leaves the game in the 7th, the Cubs are tied 3-3. Guzman comes in and gets an out, walks two. Cotts comes in and walks Fielder. Heilman comes in and gives up a hit to Hardy, scoring two and leaving the Cubs behind.

 

April 17 - Obviously a bad game, Carlos is left in to give up 7 ER over 7 innings to the Cards. Cubs come back to win despite this.

 

April 23 - L - (QS) Carlos gives up 3 earned in seven innings. Cubs only score one run all game.

 

May 22 - L - Peavy and friends throw a complete game shutout against the Cubs.

 

May 27 - (QS) Carlos throws 6.1 innings, only giving up 2 runs. He leaves a tie game, and the Cubs wait until the 9th to score 3 more to put us on top.

 

June 10 - (QS) Carlos gives up 1 run on 3 hits over 8 innings. Leaves a tie game. Guzman blows it in the 9th.

 

June 18 - (QS) Carlos goes 7 innings and gives up 3 runs. Unfortunately, the Cubs waited til he was out of the game to start scoring runs.

 

June 23 - (QS) 7 innings, 3 runs, left with the lead. Gregg gives up a 2 run bomb in the ninth to blow the game.

 

June 28 - L - Not a quality start, but the Cubs are shut out by the White Sox.

 

July 3 - (QS) 7 innings pitched, 1 run. Cubs waited until the 10th inning to score their 2nd run and finally win the game.

 

July 7 - L - (QS) Carlos goes 6, gives up 2. Cubs only score one all game.

 

July 27 - (QS) Carlos gives up 1 run in 7 innings, leaves a tie game. Cubs wait til the 13th and a walk off grand slam by Soriano to win the game.

 

Aug 1 - Carlos gives up 2 runs (1 earned) in 3 innings before leaving with an injury. Cubs are up 6-2 at the time he leaves and end up winning the game.

 

Aug 25 - L - In his first start back since the injury, Carlos gives up 8 over 4.1 IP. This loss can be placed squarely on his shoulders (or management and the training staff for rushing him back, if you wish)

 

Aug 30 - L - Gives up 3 runs in 3.1 innings and departs early, still likely feeling the effects of his earlier injuries.

 

Sep 4 - (QS) Gives up one run in six innings. Leaves with the Cubs down 0-1. Grabow and Gregg combine to give up 5 runs without getting an out and put the game out of reach.

 

Sep 15 - 5 innings pitched, 5 earned. Left a tie game with the wind blowing out at Wrigley. Cubs eventually score 8 more and win 13-7.

 

Sep 20 - (QS) Carlos goes 6, gives up 2 and leaves with the lead. Gregg blows the win for him in an eventual Cubs victory.

 

Sep 30 - L - Carlos goes 6 and gives up four in an eventual Cubs loss.

 

 

How many games do you see on that list where Carlos pitched badly and it likely cost the Cubs the game? I count three... His first two starts off the DL at the end of August, and his last start on Sept 30.

For a guy who thinks stats are penises, you just dropped a real shitty-smelling dick of a stat

 

makes me laugh every time. Thank you, FJM
