Don't forget that much of Trachsel's years were with the Cubbies... a historically mediocre team. The 1990's, with the exception of a post season appearnce in '98, were just so.... well, Cubby. 7 out of 10 years were below .500.
And the Nationals are a historically ... what kind of team again?
By the way, Carr got in a scoreless inning tonight, and I'm an Alaniz optimist all the way.
