September 11: Cubs (Harden) at Cards(Wellemeyer) 7:15 CT,CSN

Rain please

[UMFan83]

Yeah Rich hasn't really made me feel comfortable about October tonight. But that's why its only mid-September.

 

Seriously, Felipe Lopez? He hits like crap, gets waived from the worst hitting team in the league, goes to a certain franchise known for making bad players servicable and then all the sudden is hitting 5th for a playoff contender.

 

I wonder what would have happened if they picked up Damien Jackson, Rey Ordonez, etc instead of us.

[Ski]

Rain please

Maybe Ike could speed up to 300 MPH (not wind speed, traveling speed) and take a turn towards ST Louis right after the CUbs hit a grand slam this inning.

[Cynosure]

LOL Houston 3 games out of WC after tonight, unreal.

[erik316wttn]

Harden has not looked good tonight. Lots of hard hit outs and only 2 K's. I'm concerned about his velocity.

 

Another china doll on the pitching staff. He can be a good pitcher, but so could Wood and Prior.

 

Wow, just wow.

 

I don't see where this statement is factually incorrect.

I'm not too worried. He hasn't started in a long time.

What is it about them getting lousy starts and then playing like world beaters after the all-star break?

He hasn't looked great but that pitch that Lopez hit was 94 and on the corner.

 

Not everybody is awesome every start, but Harden still looks good. He left a few balls up in the 6th inning and they didn't miss them. I'm happy. I was scared about tonight's start. I'm pleased.

[Cynosure]

Soriano swings at an EMBARASSING pitch and Ks.

 

None on, 1 out.

[UMFan83]

Soriano should be embarassed. I'm pretty sure that ball bounced off the grass.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

[Sammys Boombox]

Soriano... That was worse than the 1996 Sammy Sosa.

[Cynosure]

Theriot flies out to Ludwick in right field.

 

None on, 2 outs.

[Hall7810]

Soriano should be embarassed. I'm pretty sure that ball bounced off the grass.

 

It did.

[Ski]

One day, Sori is going to swing at a pitch that bounces into the strike zone and hit a home run.

Everyone in the world isn't CC Sabathia. Bitching about a guy with an ERA AROUND 2 because he averages ~6 innings...just mind numbing.

[UMFan83]

One day, Sori is going to swing at a pitch that bounces into the strike zone and hit a home run.

 

I was just thinking that. It would easily be the coolest home run ever.

[Cynosure]

Lee JUST missed a HR... WOW! Stupid foul pole.

[Schwarber Fan]

2008 Houston Astros = 2007 Colorado Rockies

 

:-#

[Sammys Boombox]

Unbelievable.

[UMFan83]

AGHHH we wasted DLees one power hit for the month.

[Brian]

they should give him a ground rule double for hitting it that far.

A) I don't use the word "factually" all that often, and B) tell me how that's incorrect? Harden is a good pitcher when he's healthy, but he's had a difficult time staying healthy in his career, just like Prior and Wood. Am I wrong?

[Cynosure]

Lee Ks looking.

 

INNING OVER

 

Cubs lead 3-2

[laryan]

did they seriously just diss joe cocker's performance of "...with a little help from my friends"?
