Dan Haren: (1-3) 1.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP

 

Is that a typo or just really bad offensive support?

[Roast]

Well that's no fun.

He has been really good this year. D-Backs offense is that bad. No run support at all.

Yeah, I had to double check that because it seemed strange. That's some really bad offense.

Yeah, I just looked it up. He only allowed 4 runs in 4 starts throwing for 26 innings. The DBacks got shut out twice when he started. I feel bad for the guy, he seems to have been really good so far.

You know this means that we're going to score like 6 runs off him in the first three innings while lilly gives up 7 and Haren gets the win.

[Bull]

It seems to be the consensus that Haren is starting tonight.

 

Cubs.com has changed to Haren, too.

 

MLB scooped on its own game?

Haren always starts out really good, but fades in the second half.

 

Career 1st Half: 84GS, 547IP, 3.26ERA, 1.107WHIP, 477H/129BB

Career 2nd Half: 74GS, 476 IP, 4.12 ERA, 1.328WHIP, 524H/108BB

 

But he has better K/9 and SO/BB #'s in the second half throughout his career.

Hell's bells, Roast.... Lilly hasn't given up 7 runs all year !!! This looks like one of them 1-0 pitching duels like we used to see back in the 60s.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Chris24Young]

Haren throws a gem and we score no runs for him.. :x

[Outshined_One]

Haren throws a gem and we score no runs for him.. :x

 

So you're saying this one is going to end in a scoreless tie?

[Andy]

I'm disturbed by the amount of people I don't know about lately. Had to look up who Roberts was.

 

What's up with Upton? Are they losing patience with him yet?

[Chris24Young]

What's up with Upton?

 

He's been hitting well lately, just a real rough start.

 

Are they losing patience with him yet?

 

:-)) No. He's only 21, and was being put in the 8th spot, which isn't good for an undisciplined hitter like him. He's been hitting 7th for a while now, hitting .273 with a .380 OBP. He'll be really good soon, just don't think he's ready this year.

[Eric Clipperton]

Man that is a pretty weak lineup...although AUGIE OJEDA is probably due for a 3 HR game against the Cubs. I also have no idea who Roberts is.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just a note to everyone since we're clearly gonna lose this game:

 

I'm on deck for the next GDT and I won't be able to put it up until tomorrow morning, so I'd just ask that none of you jump the gun on it.

 

Thanks

Cubs lineup:

 

Soriano

Theriot

Fukudome

Johnson

Hoffpauir

Soto

Fontenot

Miles

Lilly

 

ST on Twitter says No ramirez/lee/bradley tonight, and Zambrano as on the hitting list of lineup.

 

Marmol will also be back tomorrow night too as BP session went fine.

[bcl412]

The Cubs playing in Arizona probably means I'm going to be very frustrated doesn't it?

Usually does.

 

Johnson hitting cleanup was funny last September when they were just polishing off the season. Now it's just #-o.

:shock: :shock: :shock: That lineup is straight out of 06'

[Cynosure]

OF COURSE... the Cubs are once again on at the exact same time as the Blackhawks... looks like I'll be following this one on GameDay yet again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-27 in Arizona. Time for us to build a new tradition, eh?

[UMFan83]

Isn't it bizarre that 19 games into the season and the Cubs will have faced a right handed starter in 18 of those first 19 games, before facing Doug Davis on Wednesday?

 

I think part of are hitting issues are due to all the right handers, despite all that was said about the Cubs balancing out their lineup.

[JimSorgi]

Does the thought of putting someone on the DL scare the Cubs?

[UMFan83]

OF COURSE... the Cubs are once again on at the exact same time as the Blackhawks... looks like I'll be following this one on GameDay yet again.

 

Yeah, April Cubs game vs. dominant pitcher with crappy lineup vs. Blackhawks potential series clinching game is a no brainer.
