How many do we lose in Houston...?

[Lefty]

We lost to a guy who was 0-7. The Cubs: The Best Slump Busters.

He also has the 14th-worst K/BB ratio among qualified NL starters (59 pitchers qualified), 11th-worst WHIP and 16th-worst xFIP. He's not the worst, but he's pretty damn bad.

Thanks Lefty. That seriously sheds the light on this team. The dude is a horrible pitcher and he shut us down.

I loved how Len and Bob were making it seem like he was a Cy Young caliber pitcher last night though lol

I love how Len tippy toes around how bad the team really is. He always says how the Cubs are in a slump. NO THEY ARE NOT! That is who they are. Look at the Jim Hendry era... they've always been a bad offensive team (except for the 2008 season, that year they were the best). That '08 season was the exception, not the rule.

 

[CubbieBlue]

The 2007 team wasn't bad either. Nor the 2003 team. They just sucked in the playoffs.

 

[WCulbertson]

No they weren't "bad" but they weren't "good" offensively.
