I'm glad Harden's phase of not being very good seems to be long behind him. He's a flat out stud today. (Either that or Dusty ball strikes again, but let me dream.)
Harden has been solid his last couple starts, Owings has given up seven runs in each of his last two. Logic states that these facts fare well for the Cubs, but I'm afraid I know better. Finish them!
Bradley, Ramirez, Soriano all with HRs, Lee has been raking lately (and will hopefully be back in a day or three) - I can't believe how much better I like this team when they aren't severely underachieving.
I just saw Eric Patterson go 1 for 4 with a double against the Fresno Grizzlies this weekend, so I doubt he'll get the chance to take Vazquez yard again.
