Dishonorable Mention: Mitch Williams, Paul Kilgus, Curtis Wilkerson, Steve Wilson, Pablo Delgado and Luis Benitez for Drew Hall, Jamie Moyer and Rafael Palmeiro; Mitch Webster for David Martinez


Losing Moyer and Palmiero sucked, but the Cubs don't win the division in '89 without Mitch.

I had high hopes for Steve Wilson, too. The trade was bad because they would have won the division in 1989 with Lee Arthur Smith as well.

Bump for a dude who is the most reliable, electric pitcher I can remember here since Prior.

Last night was especially great in my eyes, since the Cubs had some long innings at the plate, and he never lost his rhythm.

Jake is the truth.
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?

He lost his command halfway through and still threw 7 2/3 shutout innings against one of the best offenses in baseball. Nails.

That was the best part. He was badly missing his spots, left some over the plate, but his stuff is so good you just can't make good contact against it most of the time.

His ERA over his last 10 starts is 1.24.

Olney tweeted that, according to ELIAS, Jake was the first pitcher in a decade to go at least 6 innings and not allow a single flyball. Jake is the fucking truth, man.

I'm a complicated man. In a way, the only one I don't hate is David Ross. If only because he justifies my hate every time he swings his pool noodle at the plate. Really makes you thing.

Pretty amazing that "Jake Arrieta didn't have his best out there tonight" results in 6 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 SO.
