C.C. Rider

So, let me get this straight - we give the Brewers the division title because they acquired a pitcher with six wins versus eight losses?

Huh.

Oh, you say he has all those losses because of a lack of "run support"?

Oh.

So, John Kruk tells me the front office "sent a message" to the players on the team they are going to go get the starting pitcher the team needs to rack up the wins.

...and when said pitcher arrives the team - message received - responds by scoring three runs (late, no less)?

C.C.'s ERA is 3.84.

Huh.

So, had he been on the mound he would have been handed his ninth loss by .84 runs?

That is just sad.
