Not a good start to the day

Jon Garland of the White Sox gave up 12 runs (11 earned) in 3 1/3 innings of work in the first game of a doubleheader against the Twins today.

This makes Garland the first pitcher to give up 12 runs as a starter since September 25, 2006 when ... Jon Garland gave up 12 runs in a start against Cleveland.

Jason Marquis gave up 12+ runs in TWO starts last year.

And we must pay respects to Mike Oquist who has the lowest game score of any starting pitcher in the last 50 years. Oquist scored a -21 for this outing in 1998 against the Yankees while pitching for Oakland. Garland's outing today was a -8. Or possibly -11,  (it was indeed -11) I lost track after a while.

Wow, the Yanks were 78-28 after that game. They went 14-2 in their next 16 games after this game, to start the season 92-30!

To think that Garland could have that bad of an outing and still sport an ERA under 4.00. A couple more games like that and he will be close to the PECOTA prediction for him, though.

And Jason Marquis still inked a 3-year, $21 million contract.

Chad Curtis has to be the luckiest member of that 1998 team. Only starter to OPS+ under 100, at 89. And he played LF.

I would use a different adjective for Chad.

But it's not polite.
