Following is a post I made March 3rd of this year.
"With the current rotation, this team will lose 120 games. We'll wish they
were as good as last season come September.
Not pessimism, just reality."

This team may lose 120 this year, but this has little to do with this
rotation and a lot to do with the hitting. So in that respect no you are
not good!

The W/L record is a very poor way to judge the skill of a
pitcher. The Royals had a pitcher with a pretty good W/L
record...9 wins and 6 loses; yet his ERA over seven!
None of our starters have an ERA that high.

Oh, I agree just like a pitcher with a 7+ ERA isn't going
to win you alot of games either!

If they keep going like they have the last couple weeks, their ERA's will be
8.

Good Win, But.... - OK, Bonderman once again gave up runs in the first. Fortunately it was only 2 and the Tigers were able to whittle away at Sabathia until they tied it up. Bonderman settled down and got things working the way Jeremey usually does. Bats woke up against....
not looking good - The MFYs are up by a whopping five games in the loss column. What this means is that, if the MFYs were to split their reaming 18 games, the Tigers can lose no more than 4, just to tie for the wild card. -- I never read email at the Yahoo address...
