Rich Harden: 8-2, 2.04 (3-1,1.50 with Cubs)

 

The Cubs got a much needed win in game two against the Nationals. Aramis Ramirez had a huge game, knocking in six RBI to go along with his two home runs. In the rubber game of the series, Rich Harden will go for the Cubs. He has won his last two starts, and his last three out of four. Jason Bergmann pitches for the Nationals, and he's pretty bad.

 

Here's to win #80 on the season. Go Cubs!

I'm going to be really disappointed in they lose this game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's beat the excrement out of these female dogs!

[Soul]

Even after Saturday's drubbing, I'm really sick of this Nationals ballclub. Let's just blow them out Sunday and forget they exist until next March.

In a sample size of 14 AB's, Rich Harden has a .143 OPS against the Nationals

[bukie]

The Cubs have officially clinched a better record than the Nats, whom they lead by 33.5 games with 33 to play.

 

One down, 14 to go.

That sentence is structured oddly. Are you saying he's hitting with a .143 OPS against the Nats, or do the Nats have a .143 OPS against Harden?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Win the game. win the series. win the home stand.

According to the stats earlier in this thread, hes only faced 3 Nats hitters in the past, and they didnt do so hot, so yes, they have a .143 OPS against him.

I actually get to follow this one (maybe watch too?). There's a nearby restaurant that, for $15, offers an appetizer, a burger, fries, and choice of bottomless mamosos (sp) or bloody marys on Sundays from 11am to 3pm, and some of the best scenery in Baltimore comes complimentary, so I'll be drunk by the time this one starts. It's up to the Cubs whether or not the day finishes as good as it starts.

Damnit, why do I the Cubs have daygames on Sundays when I work? I would've loved to see Harden pitch.

 

Oh well, I'll get to take deliveries and make sweet cash money. Win while I'm gone, Cubs!

[Sammy Sofa]

I actually get to follow this one (maybe watch too?). There's a nearby restaurant that, for $15, offers an appetizer, a burger, fries, and choice of bottomless mamosos (sp) or bloody marys on Sundays from 11am to 3pm, and some of the best scenery in Baltimore comes complimentary, so I'll be drunk by the time this one starts. It's up to the Cubs whether or not the day finishes as good as it starts.

[Guest]

Cubs redeem themselves for Friday's loss by winning this one 6-1.

[BCVM22]

Bergmann's game log isn't as ugly as I thought it'd be. Cubs need to and should win just the same, though.

 

Which probably means we'll lose 2-1 or something. :|

[laurens]

Cubs win 6-1, with the 1 run given up by a reliever. Harden goes 5 or 6 shutout innings.

 

 

Go Cubbies and go Rich!

[C.C.]

I have 6th row behind the Cubs batting circle for this game! Can't wait to see Harden deal. Limo picks us up in 2.5 hours!!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Lee cleared to play or do we see Ward?

[C.C.]

Is Lee cleared to play or do we see Ward?

 

We'll probably see Ward.

[Twiggy]

Is Lee cleared to play or do we see Ward?

 

We'll probably see Ward.

 

I hate seeing Ward in there, but I think Lee could use a few days off even if he isn't hurt that badly.

[kjfoster 1553]

Cubs win 6-1, Harden goes 6 IP, doesn't give up a run, strikes out 12.

 

Howry gives up a bomb.

 

Derrek Lee hits into 2 DP's

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is Lee cleared to play or do we see Ward?

 

We'll probably see Ward.

 

I hate seeing Ward in there, but I think Lee could use a few days off even if he isn't hurt that badly.

 

If we have to put Deadweight Daryl in the lineup, better it be vs. The Nats and with Rich Harden on the mound. Still, if it becomes an issue, it would be best to find a way to get Hoffpauir up here.
