Oh That Silly Farnsworth

Didn't I say a week or two ago that there was plenty of time to get Farnsworth's ERA over 5.00? Well today he accomplish his goal of every even numbered year of having a 5.00+ ERA. He Still has time to bring it down, but don't count on it, count on it to get worse.

Cubs down 9-6 heading into the 9th, with a realistic chance of rallying in the bottom of the 9th. Yet Farsnworth strolls to the mound and gives up 6 earned runs in the top of the 9th to put Houston up 15-6. Way to go buddy, you have gone from an eye lash of being a closer to not even being good enough for basic mop up duties. You sicken me. Not even a new hair cut can change what goes on inside your pea brain.

With that said, I still want to bring him back next year so he can wow everyone with his 2.00 ERA and everyone can start saying, "He should be a closer." "Why isn't he a closer?" And then pawn his ass off on someone else before we start saying what I have been saying this year, "And people wonder why Farnsworth isn't a closer."
