[TruffleShuffle]

hope 115 pitches don't make his arm fall off.

Rich Harden looking like Rich Harden, where ya been buddy

[hawkeyecub]

Great outing for Rich. Thankfully he has 6 days off before his next start so he should be alright.

 

Would like to see Milton lead off the 8th here.

[laurens]

Good way to end the outing.

 

I think Lou put Harden back in because of the workload the pen had yesterday. It doesn't matter how it worked out, it was a stupid move. Rich could just as well have given up a few runs.

[bcl412]

Great outing Harden. Sry the offense blows

 

It's not like we're facing a mediocre pitcher in a home run hitting ball park or anything.

[bcl412]

Hoffbomb please.

[Mark Priors Calves]

I just popped in to say I'm glad harden had a great outing tonight. With Dempster going down, it would be huge if Harden could continue to pitch like he has his past two outings. I'd definitely be in favor of him getting an extra day off before his next start, if possible.

[Butterscup1679666578]

what an offense.

[laurens]

Johnson is worthless.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Well, that was a terrible half inning.

[E.J.]

This offense is [expletive] awesome.

[bcl412]

Too bad we can't score the Phillies, inevitably, will.

[TruffleShuffle]

this is really boring.

[JonJayCutler]

If we're going to lose I'd prefer the Phillies score this inning so we don't have to sit through a walk-off.

[hardcorecubfan]

Just checked on my vegetable garden and I believe there was more movement and action by my peppers in the few minutes out there than the cubs offense

[Magnetic Curses]

i wonder if they could at least look like they're trying to hit the ball out of the infield. that would be awesome.

Is that where our hopes have sunk to?

[UMFan83]

Were still averaging over 4 runs per game over the last 3 games!

[witty alias]

Johnson is worthless.

 

I'm glad Reed's in there giving Fox a day off.

[Friendly Confines]

Were still averaging over 4 runs per game over the last 3 games!

 

Yeah because we scored 11 against Garrett Mock, Julian Tavarez, and some other scrubs

[Cubbie Swagger]

HEAT

[laurens]

At least we have Lee-Ramirez-Fuku up next inning

[Cubbie Swagger]

Please Chase Utley.

 

Do not take Marmol deep right now.

[bcl412]

Please Chase Utley.

 

Do not take Marmol deep right now.

 

Wish granted.

 

It will be Howard instead.

[bcl412]

I hope Victorino tries that Bob. That would be really nice.
