There’s a reason [West and Angel Hernandez] were voted two of

always got to be part of the game.”

How long before Adams appeals his upcoming suspension?

How in hell does Joe West still have a job in the major leagues?
He thinks we pay to see him, not the players.

That can't be true. We were told that if we gave up the farm
for Garza it would give us an elite rotation. Those stats lie!

The Cubs rotation is elite, Curt.
They have the highest ERA in the game, Curt.
No way anyone is catching them.

FWIW, Fangraphs has the Cubs' rotation 10th in the NL in FIP
(4.07) and 9th in the NL in xFIP (3.78). Those are their two
measures of fielding independent pitching that remove defense
from the equation if you're not familiar with the stats...and I
wouldn't doubt that the defense has had that much of a negative
impact.

Mildly entertaining trash talk from a Kansas City writer as the
Cardinals head to Kaufmann this weekend:
