Estes is pretty good

"Shawn had as good as stuff as he's had all year," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "He was throwing in the low 90s (miles per hour) with a good breaking ball. Balls they hit at 'em last night found holes today. After that the roof caved in. They beat us up pretty good."

This is after Estes pitched 4 1/3 innings allowing 7 runs 6 of them earned. His ERA went from 5.48 to 5.71. I guess Baker was right on with his comments, he has had as good of stuff as he's had all year. He sucked at the begining of the year and he sucks now.

The Chicago Sun-Times is clearly getting upset with the constant favortism of Estes and calls for a change.

But the the most troubling thing is Baker always seems to blame other things on why Estes always gets roughed up....

Baker even supported Estes' contention that the runs weren't always his fault.

''That first run that got them on the board, I've never seen that before,'' Baker said. ''It seems like anything that could happen would happen to Shawn.''

Soo lets get this straight. Veterans cant do their job its always someone elses fault? Rookie cant do the job he just isnt ready? Gotcha Dusty.
