from mlb.com:

"Through seven, it was probably the easiest start I've had all year. They were being very aggressive and I was getting lucky and getting outs. There was no wear and tear on me at all....Today it seemed like everybody from top to bottom was swinging at one of the first two pitches and lot of times putting it in play. These guys obviously aren't playing as good as they were so maybe a little frustration sets in. They're starting to slip to the Cubbies and pressing a little bit."

ha, i've never really heard a pitcher come out and say 'yup, easiest start all year' before.  that's pretty sad for us.
