8/19 DBR (Cueto) @ Super Cubs (Harden) 7:05p CDT, CSN TV

[Soul]

Nother decently quick out.

[Mugged By Fluffy]

9 K's 2 hits for Harden. The man is hitting his spots all over the zone tonight. Setting guys up, putting them away with high heat. He's making these Reds hitters look really bad.

Sheets is due up in the bottom of the 6th. Gotta think that with a PC of 96 and the Crew down 3, he's done. Even Ned Yost can't be that stupid, can he?

 

After that CC complete game last night who knows.

[kujay]

I hope Z is watching this.

[Soul]

5-2 Astros

 

Geoff Blum.

 

How about that.

One of the untold stories of the 2nd half: Sheets' downturn.

 

Sheets hasn't been awful, but he's been far from great. Always seems like he's really good early on, then has one bad inning. Fine with me though.

That's why I chose my wording carefully there.

 

Since CC became the ace, Sheets has been more like the 3 than the 2. That's what I meant. He certainly hasn't been the 1a that the Crew was hoping for.

Rays v. Angels would be a helluva ALCS.

 

No doubt about it. I hope both teams go that far.

[Soul]

WAT?!? That's a K ump!!

[Alien11]

Rays v. Angels would be a helluva ALCS.

I still think the Rays are my second favorite team despite the Cubs being swept by them.

[rawaction]

Soto has 2 triples and an inside-the-park HR. Mr. 40-40, Soriano has neither.

[Fro]

Real nice job of framing that by Soto, although it was clearly a little off the plate on the replay. Edited August 20, 2008 by Fro

Didn't realize CC threw 130 last night.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I think Harden has another inning in him, at least let him start the 8th. Whats his PC at?

[bcl412]

Harden is talented.

[Soul]

YEAH.

[Andy]

God, I love this guy so much.

yes

[bcl412]

These chicks sound wasted.

[CubmanPi]

Mandatory 10th K. WTG Rich!! =D> =D> =D>

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Harden is awesome. That was textbook pitching right there. What a way to set up a hitter.

[kujay]

Outstanding.

 

But NU Women's LAX team?

 

Are you freaking kidding me?

[98navigator]

Rich has 82 pitches through 7

[Soul]

LaCrosse teams from Evanston now?

 

Wow.

 

And no bikinis????!?

 

WUT.

[Alien11]

Harden is awesome, but a small bit of credit should be given to Soto for calling a great game so far.

Agreed.

 

That said, he only gave up 3 to the Padres though in his last outing, he shut out the Natspos prior to that, and 2 ER through 6 IP in a loss to the Braves.

[Gingerballs Lives]

10 k's.

 

Great outing for Dick Harden.
