8/30 Mets (Figueroa) vs. Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 CT, WGN

[Schwarber Fan]

unbelievable that he'd swing on 3-0 there

[illiniguy]

Why is he swinging 3 and 0 down 3 with the wind blowing in?

[E.J.]

I don't believe I've ever seen a baseball player as bad as Miles, and yes I was a fan in 2006.

 

I would gladly take Neifi or Macias over Miles.

[JonJayCutler]

I believe Lee made an out on a 3-0 pitch yesterday as well.

Dave Rosello was pretty bad,but much,much better than Miles.

Of course, Miles hit .300 last year.

Fontenot is just an awful baseball player. What the hell kinda route was that?

[Little Slide Rooter]

So if we let Harden go to Minnesota for a sack of whatever, than we have a very 2006esque pitching staff next year. Dont do it Jim.

 

It's not like Harden's under contract for next year...or has pitched more than 150 innings since 2004.

 

I'm of the opinion that letting Harden go would be a mistake. He's a legit ace.

I disagree. In addition to having great stuff, a true ace has to be a reliable innings-eater. Harden has the stuff, but his injury history makes him far from reliable.

 

Agreed on this point. I like Harden. When he's healthy and pitching to his potential, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball. The problem is, he just can't stay healthy for extended stretches.

 

I'd love to have him back next year, but I would never offer him more than 2 years.

 

If there was a replacement, maybe, but even looking at the 2010 free agent class for starting pitchers. Theres John lackey who leads the pack, and behind him, theres Eric bedard whose been as healthy as Harden throughout his career. I dont want a rotation of Z/Lilly/Dempster/Wells/Gorzalanny.

I would gladly take an unneccesary colonoscopy over Miles.

Alright, now get the W for, um.. Marshall. White Sox post-game radio call-in show approaching, so hurry up.

[Monco]

If they don't resign Harden,hopefully they don't sign anyone. The class is really weak.

Win a series, lose ground in your division; that's just the way it's been this season.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Did Nelson Figueroa really K 10 Cobs? Nice.

5th in the wild card,need some sweeps

[coldsteel]

If the Mud Hens can beat this team, so can the Cubs. Let's go.

[illiniguy]

Skipping back and forth with the cardinals game I can see why their pitchers numbers are so amazing. Willie Harris just K'd on a curveball that wasn't even close to being a strike. McClellan threw it, do all their pitchers get that much?

[E.J.]

Seriously, please stop the ridiculous celeb interviews after the stretch. So painful.

[DiamondMind]

I hate you lovitz

[illiniguy]

Free Koyie Hill.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why does it seem like when the wind is blowing in, we can't even get a hit?

[UMFan83]

Geo is a stud.
