When do we play the Mets?

Probably after Delgado, Beltran, Reyes, Wagner, Putz get back and they trade for Holiday.

Thats what I figured. We are catching some breaks this year for sure.

Hows Harden looking tonight?

 

Very good earlier, but his stuff has gotten less and less impressive the last couple innings.

[Cubswin11]

Hows Harden looking tonight?

Started out really strong (probably the best he's looked all year). Hitting 94-96 consistently and his change/slider/sinker/split/whatever you want to call it was moving all over the place and he had great command. He has lost his command a little over the last inning 1/2 leaving balls up and not on the corners as much, but his velo has stayed in the mid 90's.

Ad LaRoche struck out swinging

Moss singled to right field
