Scott Kazmir - 27.00 ERA, 3.33 WHIP Francisco Liriano - 13.50 ERA, 3.00 WHIP John Lackey - 6.75 ERA, 1.88 WHIP Chad Billingsley - 11.57 ERA, 2.14 WHIP
Mike Gonzalez - 27.00 ERA, 3.00 WHIP Scott Linebrink - 27.00 ERA, 3.00 WHIP
Even Brandon Webb gave up 3 runs in the first inning and at least settled down for a relatively pristine 2.57 ERA and 1.43 WHIP.
All for a grand total of....10.73 ERA, 2.14 WHIP
At least the bats have been brilliant or else, I wouldn't be tentatively ahead.
Ah, but did you put Shields in there tonight like I did??? Must have stepped on Lady Luck's feet one too many times in this dance...
Bills, Shields, Marcum and Lackey: 7.45 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP...
Let's just say I plugged in RJ and it's still an 8.62 ERA, 1.95 WHIP.

In a 20 team H2H keeper, I floated between 2nd and 5th all season long. With 2 weeks left untill the playoffs, my entire team hit the skids and I went from 2nd to 7th place and out of the championship bracket. On the final night, I needed 3 K's from B Webb to take the 6th spot. That night he couldn't have hit water if he fell out of a boat, and got yanked in the 3rd or 4th inning. Made me want to puke. All that work all season long for nothing.
Any fool can piss on the floor....may you be the hero that craps on the ceiling!
