You're blaming the poor pitching squarely on the defense? That's just not true. Suppan's been atrocious, Capuano sucked, and Dave Bush has been a little less than "okay." If you swapped our rotations, the Cubs would have the better one, because the Cubs rotation is actually good. The Crew's is terrible. We're not ahead of you in the standings because we play good defense, we're ahead because our starters are good and your's are bad.
