Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

We officially have the worst pitching staff in Major League Baseball. The team ERA is now above 6.0.

What's amazing is that the NYY spent a lot more money and are challenging us for the title.

The biggest surprise is the Pirates. #4 at 3.85. Also not the the Yanks have allowed the same # of runs as the Tribe but 14 of theirs were unearned vs. only 6 of our (I would have expected more given our cruddy fielding)

Don’t say that…it can always get worse. Performance is an unbounded variable.

True, our performance and competitive level could get worse. However, in this particular instance, I am using the totally ambiguous “It” to refer to our ERA ranking amongst MLB teams. As we are ranked 30th, our ranking can not possibly get any worse. I used "It" because people are curious what "It" is.

Other things that can’t get worse: Last place, Jeremy Sowers’s winning percentage, Eric Wedge’s mustache…

You mean finishing ‘dead last’.

Terminal velocity. Absolute zero.
