Johnny Cueto can lick my f'ing doughnut
0More than 100 years of playoff baseball include no precedent for Cueto’s stink.
Cueto was terrible. Worse than terrible, really. Baseball-Reference's database goes back to 1903, and includes no record of a starting pitcher ever giving up eight or more earned runs while collecting six or fewer outs in a playoff game before Cueto.
At least the man made history playing for KC . . .

Meh. Whaddaya want for a mere six mil a year?
As Meh wrote up a few days ago, even the worst professional baseball player is still a professional baseball player. He's so much better than most of the population.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

@ACraigL Allen Craig? Is that you?
@DrWorm Nope, not me. Sounds like a hell of guy though.
@ACraigL Allen Craig is currently one of the "worst" professional baseball players (currently in the middle of a $31 million contract, despite not being in the major leagues) who had one of the most inexplicable and precipitous drops in talent ever.
@DrWorm Interesting. Though I can kind of understand how if I was guaranteed 31 million dollars, I might be less motivated to kick ass. We live in a very lopsided world sometimes.
Welcome to the American League Johnny. He's one of many pitchers that looked good in the national league of bunting then were exposed in the American league of slugging.
He was pretty awesome when he played for us in Cincinnati. I don't know what KC did to break him.
@Lister He was great in that wildcard game in Pittsburgh!
The good news is that Cueto will not be pitching for the Royals next year. The bad news: What if the series goes seven games and Ned Yost decides to use him again?
@Barney The baseball may turn purple.
He seemed ok in game 2, I think. Don't worry it's just a ploy to stretch it to 5 games so we can get another one back at the 'K' to bring more revenue in. Go Royals!
