The Stupid Cubs, Twins and Royals all had to win. The Cubs kicked the s*** out of Dontrelle Willis, has he finally been figured out? Or is this just a one time thing? I will be curious to see how he does on his next start.
I hate to rain on parades, but Tony is best in small doses. He is a great spark plug, but still shouldn't start more than 2-3 times a week. He is dangerous as an unknown, but if pitchers see him too much becomes ineffective. Plus his D is scary...
The "old" days they didn't throw the way they do now in between starts, and they didn't have the variety of off speed stuff that they do now. Pitchers are putting way more strain on their elbows and shoulders than they ever used to do.
Gee do you think this comes from the fact that he, Wood and Zambrano are all in the top 5 or so in pitches per start in the NL?
