So far, we've lost 11 in a row. From today's Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06178/701414-63.stm Check out the pitching: Chicago's rotation will be Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras, whose cumulative record is 25-8. Contreras, the brilliant Cuban import making headlines with his 8-0 start, has lost once in his past 25 outings dating to last season. Detroit has Kenny Rogers, the winningest pitcher in the American League at 10-3, opening that series Friday. He is followed by dynamic youngsters Jeremy Bonderman and Zach Miner, a combined 11-5. And the first two games at Shea Stadium? Yes, Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine, who annihilated the Pirates there two months ago. Traschel throws for the Mets this Sunday. Maybe we have a chance to stop the streak at 19. Also check out: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06178/701415-63.stm That first overall pick has been locked up.
