Aramis makes me want to barf with sadness.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good to see a lot of our guys starting to hit, but if Lee and Ramirez dont start producing, were fucked. proper fucked.

 

As for Gorzalanny, basically, weve put out ace in the bullpen for a guy who can give you 6 solid innings, which is OK for a 5th or even 4th starter, but you dont banish a guy like Zambrano to the blowpen for him.

Six solid innings is good for any starter- numerous studies have shown that unless you're a top starting pitcher, the 3rd time through the order you become less effective than an average reliever fresh out of the bullpen.

Banishing Z to the bullpen is beyond stupid for many reasons, but let's not pretend that he is our ace or that such a thing is even necessary- the Cubs have four good starters, and two more that are potentially average. If they were smart, they'd use all four of the good starters and then piggyback the other two for 1-2 trips through the order each- especially since they'd gain the platoon advantage when switching between the two. But they're the Cubs. So here we are...
