CC Loses His First

Update: Okay, things just got worse as Ben Sheets just hurt his forearm. Geez.

I almost got to put a no-hitter next to his name. Almost. By about 60 % of the base line.

You know things are bad in Milwaukee when even Sabathia can't pull you out of this mess. I guess this means we can stop putting CC in the Cy Young competition as now he has a mediocre 9-1 record with a 1.83 ERA in his 14 NL starts. Just ridiculous. Over the same time period (since July 8th), here are some other hot pitchers:

Brett Myers (PHI)- 7-1, 1.80 ERA, 80 IP, 69 K, 17 BB, 2 CG, 1 SHO (in AAA first two weeks of the period)

CC Sabathia (MIL) - 9-1, 1.83 ERA, 109 IP, 107 K, 27 BB, 6 CG, 3 SHO

Roy Oswalt (HOU) - 8-2, 2.10 ERA, 81.1 IP, 64 K, 17 BB, 2 CG, 2 SHO (injured for two weeks)

Cliff Lee (CLE) - 11-0, 2.27 ERA, 91.1 IP, 58 K, 9 BB, 3 CG, 1 SHO

Johan Santana (NYM) - 6-0, 2.33 ERA, 88.2 IP, 70 K, 24 BB, 2 CG, 1 SHO

Tim Lincecum (SF) - 7-2, 2.35 ERA, 92 IP, 115K, 33 BB, 1 CG, 1 SHO

Derek Lowe (LAD) - 8-3, 2.55 ERA, 84.2 IP, 54 K, 13 BB

Roy Halladay (TOR) - 8-5, 2.59 ERA, 93.2 IP, 85 K, 15 BB, 2 CG, 1 SHO

Ryan Dempster (CHI) - 7-3, 2.73 ERA, 85.2 IP, 89 K, 32 BB

Chad Billingsley (LAD) - 7-3, 2.89 ERA, 84 IP, 82 K, 30 BB, 1 CG, 1 SHO

P.S. Did anyone else think that Kerry Wood curveball was high? It's where the pitch crosses the plate right?
