THey took 3 from Houston. 1/2 a game back now. St. Loius is tied. I really do think when they hit the 4 man rotation, they have one of the best 4 man rotations with the was Zambrano is pitching right now. They are playing well, I actully havea pretty good feeling this year.

I still think St. Loius is the team though. Plujos is a one man wrecking crew.

Cruz has control issues no matter where he plays. Maybe not like Estes, who really doesn't suffer from control issues. Just bad placement, and no pitches that do anything. Cruz as a starter his era is probably around 3.75, not bad, but he's 4-8 as a starter (in career - I think) and 0-1 this year, with a 3.00 era. The month with the most IP that he has, his era was over 7, not to mention, that's the same month he made his 1 start in.

Keep this guy on the bench. Not that estes is any better, but I'm sure they can find someone more productive on they're staff. I can't actully believe they let him start. I just refuse to see Cruz out there starting either. There has got to be someone on that staff with better production. Estes won't be in Chicago next year, Dusty may have brain damage after watching him start 30 times.
