Jeremy Guthrie lost game number 14 today!

to 20 losses... AND BEYOND!!

the sad thing is that he's actually a pretty decent pitcher.

Oh well

Some interesting stats:

Kuroda is 6-12 with a 3.19 era and 1.22 whip in 127 innings.
Fister is 3-11 with a 3.30 era and 1.17 whip in 139 innings.

I think Guthrie's slowly starting to give up...ERA has shot up nearly a point in the last month to over 4.3, which ain't so hot in this year's AL.

Looks like Guthrie's name is somehow heating up on the trade market. Tigers and Indians are both interested, and the Yankees are obviously looking for a starter.

It would be bittersweet to see my horse end up with the Evil Empire or with a contender for that matter. His shot at 20 would be in serious jeopardy at that point.

Your horse is doing fine, Hoss...

Guthrie is on pace for 21. Happ and Kuroda are on schedule for 19 apiece.

It's August 1st, almost 2/3 way through the regular season, and three guys have a SOLID chance to make this happen.

I'm starting to get nervous.

Was glad to see he stayed put. Time to go on a cold streak, Guthrie.

Guthrie picks up #16 today. This is looking like a real possibilty.

Still holding at 16, starting to get dicey with just over a month left.

He went 11 days between outings this past time, we may be looking at just 4-5 starts left.

Guthrie looked strong in his last outing and even picked up a win. I have no idea why Showalter skipped his most recent turn in the rotation.

Time is running out.

Dammit.

Still 4 shy of 20.

Just added loss number 17, 8-1 to the Rays. This one's going down to the wire!

Guthrie takes the hill tonight at Toronto. Looking for loss #18...

He's facing Brett Cecil --- also a crappy pitcher.

Keep the dream alive.

Interesting...

My financial advisor used to play minor league ball. His manager?

Mario Mendoza. No lie. George Brett made him famous.

Fail.

Jeremy Guthrie breathes a sigh of relief for two reasons:

1. He falls short of 20.
2. He manages to share the league lead in losses with Derek Lowe. Both finish with 17.

Sorry I let you guys down, but remember...

Hope springs eternal.

I'll be checking back in with you guys next spring.

Dismissed.

Chris Archer is on the cusp of history. Taking the mound for #20 tonight.

About to lose 20 games with a 4.02 ERA. Just shameful support from the rest of his team. Detroit sucked, but it still took a big fat ERA of nearly 6 for Maroth to do it.

Dude is sacking up. Shutout through 5.

It's tough to lose 20 games. You can't just suck horribly, or you'll lose your job. You have to find a happy medium level of suck that allows you to consistently lose, but be competent enough to continue get starts all year.

And of course Mike Maroth was completely awful that year, so that blows my entire theory out of the water.
