What a comeback that would be
That’s how we would have to do it. Be counted out of even making the post season and then come roaring back. Blazing hot all the way to the WS. That’s a much better story than last year cruising in and falling apart.

It has been decent
Dempster, Zambrano and Harden have had piss poor years. Given what we got from Randy Wells, this shoyuld have been the best rotation in the national league. Instead its been just slightly above average.
ummmmmmmmm
False. If we had consitent hitting, we’d be 20 games over with the pitching we have gotten. W-L records are decieving when your offense comes and goes
Albert Pujols for Cubs Starting 1B in 2012
disagree
this pitching has been only slightly above average. A more consistent offense would not have won us 18 more games. 5-10 maybe. Our starters have been above average but not great
the last west coast trip would have netted 5-6 wins with 3-4 runs a game
Yes. Consistent offense is the difference for us. Our starting pitching has been great
Albert Pujols for Cubs Starting 1B in 2012
Really
what does it rank in the NL.I seriously do not know, but I believe it is in the 5-7 range, which would be just above average. Not good enough considering you have several supposed aces and a rookie that has been dominant.
In terms of the West Coast trip, you cant necessarily say because you lost 3-1 that you would have won if you scored 4. It is a different ball game. Teams hit and manage different
I don't have time to go look up facts to prove my opinions currently
But I will take this years starting pitching every year. Bullpen is a different story.
