Cubs Trivia:

What is the lowest single-season earned run average for a Cubs relief pitcher?

Taking the easy way out and guessing Bruce Sutter?

[King Jeff]

Unless you count part time relievers, then I think Mitten's is right. Moredecai Brown may have had a lower ERA in one of the years that he pitched out of the pen a few times.

Sutter is correct. Can you name the year and the ERA?

Not looking at my calendar (and I didn't look yesterday when I was at work):

0.87

Sutter's best year for ERA was his first full one, and that was probably 1977. It was 1.3 something. I'll say 1.35 - that sounds familiar.

[Fishin Phil]

1977 is correct. You are wrong about the ERA, it was 1.34. Ha!

Damn, you're good. Sutter had a 1.34 ERA in 1977

At something, anyway. It's the only thing I care about. I'll be heading (sneaking) over to Fitch in a few minutes. Can't wait.

I'm going next Thursday to watch the Red Sox play a couple of college teams in a double header in Fort Myers. I don't really care for the Red Sox, but it will be awesome seeing some live ball again.
