You know you're a bad pitcher when you're released from the worst bullpen in baseball. (Arizona)

The Cubs don't have the worst bullpen in baseball! Arizona does! But they released him too, if that is what you meant.

Awesome, Howry is probably the worst Cubs pitcher that doesn't have the name Samardzija.

You mean "not named Grabow", look at Samardzija's AAA stats this year. It (ERA) was really high, then they made him a starter, and its down into the low 3's.

He also hit a 2-out 3-run HR the other day, BTW, (I know that it doesn't affect pitching, but still).

He's been pretty lucky though. He only has a 1.5 K/BB ration. I also saw that in his last start, he had a 10-0 FO/GO ratio. If he would have done that in the majors, I bet at least 2 of them would have been homers.

Maybe he can learn to play 1st base? lol. He's OPSed over .800 his last two years.

My question is why did the Cubs pick Bob Howry up again.. He & Will Ohman were bullpen blowers for us...
