I Only Update When He Pitches

Matt Chico has been pounced upon tonight for five runs on eight hits with two walks tonight facing the Cubbies. I didn't really expect to win this one with Carlos Zoombeenie on the mound for the Cubs, but it's also Chico's third consecutive terrible start. I think it's time to send him down to AAA to work out whatever kinks might be in his system. Either that or accept that he's not real good. Tyler Clippard and Jay Bergmann have both been pitching like hot garbage in AAA, but Colin Balester is rocking a 2.66 ERA and a sub-1.00 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 20 innings. Might be worth a shot. Then again, he's younger than me (oh god) and maybe should be left to mature a bit in the minors. In any case, Matt Chico is getting knocked around hard, and with the team as bad as it has been so far this year, changes have to be made. I'm downright shocked that no one's head has rolled yet this year.
