7/10/09 Cardinals(Carpenter) @ Cubs (Harden) 1:20 PM WGN

[illiniguy]

They are gonna finish us off this weekend.

 

A series split seems like a victory for the Cubs to me - here's hoping we can get even that.

I don't see how we even split. Our offense is a joke. So is theirs, but they will still find a way to score 4 a game against us.

[A-Cal]

Lets place no blame on Harden here. Just throw him on the scrap heap along with every other ex-A's pitcher.

 

 

dan haren?

 

He was a Cardinal first. He didn't come up in the A's organization.

 

zing...did not know that...what did the redbirds give him up for?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So if Harden is bad and Ramirez may or may not be 100% the rest of the season, are we really better than the Cardinals or Brewers even if everyone else gets healthy?

 

Probably the Brewers, still.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina struck out swinging

[NonProfitCow]

Looks like you're getting this guy so far today.

[Ski]

Why do we suck so much

[Little Slide Rooter]

Our Rich Harden is broken, can we get a new one?

 

Next time Billy Beane doesn't want much for a guy, we should probably begin to wonder.

 

(Not that I wouldn't still take the deal).

 

The day Justin Ducherer gets off the DL, Billy will land somebodys farm system for him before he returns to the DL to stay.

If we're going to lose, I hope we get swept so I can move on from this season.

History is littered with guys who found an inefficiency in a market, got rich, and could never duplicate it once the hole was closed.

Yeah, that's true. I still think he could win in a big market.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Harden could be our Ankiel?

[Hall7810]

What will Lou do? Hit and run? Straight steal?

[genbar]

Harden's swing is actually not too shabby.

[Careless]

Make that an even 5.5 ERA for Harden, halfway through the season

[illiniguy]

Harden's swing is actually not too shabby.

He started as an outfielder.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-7 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 26-34 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
