8/29 Phillies (Blanton) @ Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 CSN Chicago

[RammyFanny]

Cubs told Wood he is not available when he came to the ballpark.

 

Wood told Kap he feels great and will be calling Lou and Larry if we're up in the 8th and it's a save spot. :-))

[Choonch]

Hopefully Woody isn't even in the 'pen today.

I love you Kerry, but remember how the playoff saves will be far more important and that Carlos Marmol can do the job just fine today.

If Harden does what Harden usually does, and Blanton does what Blanton usually does, it wont matter.

[Cubbies622]

thats pretty much the best start possible

[Cubbies622]

super efficient harden! 4 pitches 2 outs!

[UMFan83]

Harden's ERA is officially 1.99 for the season.

[inari]

Ouch.

[haubrich91]

That was odd.

[UMFan83]

Was he hurt?

[Cubbies622]

hopefully hes hurt for at least the weekend!

[Cubbies622]

walked howard

[inari]

Pat Burrell is a terrifying man.

[UMFan83]

I'm not liking this.

[UMFan83]

20 pitches and counting.....

[inari]

So much for efficiency.

[haubrich91]

Crap.

[PrimeTime]

Well that sucks

[illiniguy]

God dammit. All this with two outs.

[UMFan83]

Harden is going 5 today

[kujay]

Blanton is hittable. It's going to take more than a few runs for Philly to win this one.

[David]

It's ok, we got this.

 

 

LOL at Santo. I'm pretty sure it's the changeup that acts like a splitter, not a slider. He actually does throw a slider, but on very very rare occasion, and he doesn't throw the split at all anymore.

[UMFan83]

He's already allowed as many baserunners and more runs than he did in 8 innings in his last start against Philly

[PrimeTime]

velocity down. Highest was 91.just hit 93

[haubrich91]

HBP and BB hurt him. Let's go offense.
