Actually it was the middle of August (Buerhle had a 3.07 and Santana had a (3.37).  Sorry technically it was a .30 difference.  They were going head to head.  Buerhle gave up a bunch of runs, I made a comment in the game thread that we should have an ACE like Santana and you jumped on how Buerhle was better because at the time he had more wins and a better ERA by a small margin.

 

We had that argument before August, and .30 ERA is NOT a small difference. It's a big difference. Buerhle was better at the time. Nobody in their right mind would take Buerhle over Santana in the long run.

This has gone on way past it usefulness...
