You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

I don't have access to B-R's gamefinder or whatever it's called, but I have a hard time imagining someone else having as epically shitty of a start as that. That was pretty godawful.

Edit: Well, found one. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TEX/TEX199405110.shtml

This one was pretty forgettable, apparently. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200908140.shtml

The writing appeared on the wall in that Game 1 against the Dodgers. Glad that the spiral into shittiness has bottomed out.  That or Dempster thinks his Carlos Silva impersonation is hilarious.

He's obviously injured. I think he's got something wrong with his back. He's trying to take one for the team and pitch through but it's not working. The way he's leaving pitches up tells me it's probably his back. Velocity is there, he's not limping. Stiff back.

The writing was on the wall based upon one start 18 months ago?

The spiral into shittiness included 215 innings with a 113 ERA+?

I thought he meant last Saturday's game against the Dodgers when he couldn't hold a 4-run lead. I was thinking, "That was game two. What a dumbass." This is another thing entirely. I knew that the prequels were going to suck as soon as I saw Luke get his hand cut off in Empire. That looked fake as hell.

Screw Dempster, I want to know what the fuck is up with the Wiesenthal Center feting Tom Cruise.

It depends. Maybe one of our resident stat penises can answer this - how common is it for a player to outperform his minor league stats? Because I think that's what Darwin is going to have to do to be good for real instead of being good for a month.

Career minor league OBP of .334, slugging of .374. This year he's sitting at .351 and .449. I think he'd need to

- OBP at least .350
- slug over .400
- continue to play great defense
- continue to know his ass from his elbow on the basepaths

to be a legit starter long-term. We can count on 3 and 4 but not so sure about 1 and 2.
