Personally, I'd be furious that the Cubs left a starter in all year long that couldn't provide better numbers than that. I don't care if they have to promote Veal or Gallagher to make it happen. 5.40 ERA/1.60 WHIP is for AAA, not the major leagues. I'd be livid that the pitcher with the 5.40 ERA/1.60 WHIP wasn't DFA'd. Those are pathetic numbers regardless of the run support and "keeping his team in games" nonsense that would be spewed. Man, when you become so (for lack of a better term) angry? It seems like every post from you is just filled with ire. If we have a 20 game winner, livid would probably be the last emotion used to describe my feelings towards him. i'd be blissfully happy with our offense. but i'd be mad at the pitcher, and hope to god that he isn't given a contract extension. actually, i'd hope we'd trade him in the offseason. Agreed. I'm pretty sure we could find at least a couple guys in the minor leagues who could pitch better than a 5.40 ERA/1.60 WHIP. I just think it's funny people are ready to rip each other's throats out because we're off to a bad start. The Cubs definitely aren't the lovable losers anymore.
