beginning of bad things

cliff lee is now the 'cy young winner' or something like that. his effort was up against ghastly outings from moyer, who i nearly benched, and jurrjens, who i did bench. i've been worried about the rookie pitcher thing; they usually run out of gas towards the end of the year. i'd rather have had him than not have had him, but who else is out there? the league's too deep to find anyone useful. the worst part of this is, shields had a terrible home start and gregg gave up something like 4 runs on a night when everyone else was pitching terribly. oh well; staying at the top for most of the first two thirds of the season was fun.
