Wells Can Suck North of the Border just as Well

In a preemptive strike against David Wells and his propensity to suck the good people at CBC Sports decided to write and article prior to Tuesday's game about what we all have been thinking... DAVID WELLS IS A BUST. Theo has done and great job and we can't officially complain about anything for a full year at least, but Wells sucks and was a horrible singing.

Things haven't worked out as planned. So far this season, Wells has been mostly awful or injured.

The portly lefty spent three weeks on the disabled list in April nursing a sprained right ankle. He returned to action on Wednesday, but wasn't around for long.

Wells was pounded for seven runs and nine hits in only 1 1/3 innings in a 13-6 loss to the Oakland Athletics. It was his briefest start since June 8, 2001.

"It's one of those days you want to find a hole and crawl in it," said Wells, who is nicknamed Boomer. "But I'll be back out there.

David was all too correct, he was out there Tuesday night and gave up 5 earned runs, lost the game (unofficially) thanks to his forth inning performance.

If I don't hit the spot I am in trouble...I am not a power pitcher any more, so I have to scratch and claw to get outs. I guess as you get older, you don't have the power any more, I am not a power guy, and so I got to rely on keeping the ball down to be successful.

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
David Wells	6.1	7	5	5	1	2	1	6.81
Mike Timlin (BS,1)	1.2	2	1	1	0	0	1	1.19
Alan Embree (L,1-2)	0.1	2	3	3	1	0	1	5.03
