Thus Endeth April
A few weeks back, this site said:
An idealist looked at April and saw 14-9 and a solid start. Looking at it now, the realist says 12-11 would be a lucky outcome.
Well, they concluded April at 13-10. Right smack in the middle of good and lucky. So, optimism reigns?
Sadly, no. The starting rotation looks to be even more in shambles than thought. It certainly seems if the once "best pitcher on the Cubs" Carlos Zambrano has his head unscrewed. It doesn't seem to be arm or mechanics. It's gotta be da' head. Glendon Rusch has provided the picture for Miriam Webster's entry on "Reversion to the Mean."
Amazingly, some of Cubs faithful are hopeful for a rotation that includes Rich Hill and Angel Guzman right now, but pooh pooh the wishes of last winter to add a Kevin Millwood or Jerrod Washburn with some of the extra bleacher ticket and sponsorship money.
Never fear, faithful! Jim Hendry has two more years to turn this around!
