    lulz....55 seconds of silence elapsed from his call of "and this ball game is over" until finally dotting the tears away from his eyes long enough to say something. Neither one of those d-bags said a word for those 55 seconds. That was freaking awesome. Nearly an entire minute of silence. Ha ha!

    Can anyone post Hawk and DJ's call (or non-call) for me to enjoy?

    Harang is in the same boat as Burnett. Based on their track record, they look like good acquisitions. They both have struggled some this year, but Harang less than Burnett. His ERA+ the past three seasons has been 125, 124, and 112. For this season, he stands at 103. This is how his contract looks going forward: 08:$6.75M, 09:$11M, 10:$12.5M, 11:$12.75M ($2M buyout) It's not overly burdensome and is probably a bargain for next year. He'd be a definite upgrade over Marquis on the back end and would be easier to trust than Gallagher down the stretch. My fear is that his certainty in contract will make him more expensive than some of the rentals out there. Teams would be more willing to shell out the prospects because they would know that they would get something for them in the long term as well as the short term. I would not hate to acquire him, but he's not at the top of my list.

    Red Sox are wearing green jerseys to honor the Celtics tonight. The Celtics were part of a pre-game ceremony. Wakefield retires the crapbirds in order.

    I think we're one a few teams that can take a chance on Harden. We have pitching depth, we just lack the top of rotation talent. We'd probably send one of Gallagher, Marshall, or Hill in a deal for a pitcher and we might unload Marquis if we got one. We also might send Gallagher back down if we kept Marquis. Either way, if we dealt for a pitcher like Harden (assume a Hill, Pie, Ceda deal), we'd still have Zambrano, Lilly, Dempster, Gallagher, Marquis, and Marshall for depth. Teams with less depth might be forced to overlook Harden because of that fact. I think Hill+Pie+Ceda gets it done. I'd probably start with a lower offer...something along the lines of subbing Colvin for Pie and trying to take Ceda out of it, but in the long run if you can get Harden for Hill+Pie+Ceda, I do it. If Zambrano is out for the year or for an uncertain amount of time, the Cubs might need to focus on Sabathia because our depth would not be as strong and might not be able to risk Harden.
