I felt I was getting negative, but I asked for two things today. No first inning runs and for the Cubs to not make this whole clinching thing too exciting. So clearly I got frustrated and I’m sorry. I will get mad though if Rich complains about his arm after looking like crap in that first inning.

what’s the sitch?
drewishdrewid - September 18, 2008
Harden not on good terms with the "strike zone."

OK I just want to clarify a few things
I felt I was getting negative, but I asked for two things today. No first inning runs and for the Cubs to not make this whole clinching thing too exciting. So clearly I got frustrated and I’m sorry. I will get mad though if Rich complains about his arm after looking like crap in that first inning.

I’ve bought and sold plenty of tix via Craigslist so I’m pretty confident. That being said, I prob just jinxed myself.
Jayo525 - September 18, 2008
Dave Bush lives in Maine.
Come on…
PurpleLineToWrigley - September 18, 2008
This is stupid but...
in a game featuring Dave Bush vs. Rich Harden, my Gamecast is telling me the game is sponsored by Grape Nuts….
i just laughed.
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
It's the matchup that keeps on giving.
daver - September 18, 2008
lol!
Emelie - September 18, 2008
on to the 2nd...
MinnesotaFan - September 18, 2008
Quick inning for us
ThisOldCub18 - September 18, 2008
crickets....................................................................................thats quiet
graceunderpressure - September 18, 2008
I'm getting the strangest sense
of deja vu today, after one inning….
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Well thats what Harden was supposed to do in the first inning
nji232 - September 18, 2008
At least we star this next inning with the 8 and 9 batters
ThisOldCub18 - September 18, 2008
We would never walk the 8 and 9 batters.
willie mays hayes' gloves - September 18, 2008
In theory
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
Early prediction
Dome goes 2-3 with one walk today
HawaiiCubFan - September 18, 2008
great! can't wait to see it :D
Emelie - September 18, 2008
Hangover Hangover... go a- way! K's another!
Lou In Blue - September 18, 2008
That's racist
Jayo525 - September 18, 2008
you ever notice
how it seems the Cubs have a lot of 1-2-3 innings but their opponents seem to have long innings?
VegasCubFan - September 18, 2008
Don't the Cubs lead the league in runs scored?
DeRoMyHero - September 18, 2008
That makes it even more puzzling.
willie mays hayes' gloves - September 18, 2008
I only notice
How we score 800ish runs while they only score 600ish.
sanantonecub - September 18, 2008
we used to be really good at taking pitches and drawing walks, didn't we?
What happened?
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
That was back in the good ol' days
when we had a RF playing RF and a 2B playing 2B….
DeRoMyHero - September 18, 2008
K is for Kendall
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
BB is feeling some deja vu too
Emelie - September 18, 2008
Thank goodness the Brewers are swinging at those pitches.
zevkalman - September 18, 2008
Let's go 3-2 on every batter.
willie mays hayes' gloves - September 18, 2008

I thought it was breaded
Shanghai Badger - September 18, 2008
Mmmm...broasted chicken.
daver - September 18, 2008

Now he is settling in
nji232 - September 18, 2008
here we go
ThisOldCub18 - September 18, 2008
The Ks are nice...
…but I’d like to see a few quick, weak tappers to DeRo to shore up his pitch count a bit.
daver - September 18, 2008
Chance to redeem himself with the top of the order
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
Hopefully Rich has figured out Mr. Strike Zone today....
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
I would say his velocity is fine today
just hit 95
nji232 - September 18, 2008
I like how Harden had learned to pitch to contact????????????????
graceunderpressure - September 18, 2008
Nice job Rich
time to score
nji232 - September 18, 2008
Strikes out the side!
Lou In Blue - September 18, 2008
Dang.
daver - September 18, 2008

Jayo525 - September 18, 2008
WOooooooooooooooooooo
PurpleLineToWrigley - September 18, 2008
Keep it goign Rich at least ten K's today would be nice
ThisOldCub18 - September 18, 2008
54 pitches through 2
cubbiepride - September 18, 2008
that might be a little high.
it would be nice to have a quick inning next inning
mkcubs21 - September 18, 2008

Now coming into the game, pitching for Rich Harden...
Rich Harden.
SplintChesthair - September 18, 2008
See, Lou can handle the bullpen!
daver - September 18, 2008
wish he could of found the strike zone earlier..that pitch count is high
cubbiepride - September 18, 2008
still took 16 pitches that inning
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
Yeah, ground balls needed...badly.
daver - September 18, 2008
Phew... just catching up!
schmifty - September 18, 2008
I see he’s hit 95 and 96 today… GOOD.
schmifty - September 18, 2008

“High, hard one” when Harden is pitching…I love it….I just sit at my desk giggling….

It's tough to act like a professional

Let Jimmy Ball game do his Sept/Oct thing. He is a stud this time of year

This home run was brought to you
by the St. Louis Cardinal payroll

But they did trade for him from St. Louis

“I always knew you were a good pick up,” DTJchris says lyingly.
DTJchris - September 18, 2008
Jimmy!
I dunno about you all, but I kind of hope he wants to come back next year.
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Gotta help defend a championship!
Lou In Blue - September 18, 2008
I'm not sure he's got much left
I always fear the “Gaetti Effect”
Shanghai Badger - September 18, 2008
This is weird
Brewers getting runs on timely hits and walks the last two games, and we’re blasting the long ball.
(cues Twilight Zone music)
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
We are now 2 HRs away from having 6 - 20 dinger guys...
DeRoMyHero - September 18, 2008
There is a joke in that somewhere....
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
Mutant porn?
daver - September 18, 2008
For those candidates who have juvenile minds...
Sori 29
Ramy 25
Geo 22
DeRo 20
DLee 19
Edmonds 19
One more from Edmonds and one more from DLee will give the Cubs six guys who have hit 20 HRs.
DeRoMyHero - September 18, 2008
too...many...jokes...
Shanghai Badger - September 18, 2008
took me a sec to decode that...
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
I wasnt aware until watching the Brewer feed of the game... that De Ro hasnt made any outfield erros
Madison Cub Fan - September 18, 2008
That's nice of the Brewers' announcers to say, but it would be incorrect.
According to B-R, he has committed one error in LF, and no errors in RF.
(IIRC, the error came on a line drive in Tampa — the game in which Z hurt his shoulder — that he lost in the lights and went off his glove.)
DeRoMyHero - September 18, 2008
thats what I get for actually listening to their announcers
sorry
Madison Cub Fan - September 18, 2008
20 dingers!
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
Dinger
is the Rockies mascot
Lou In Blue - September 18, 2008
durhan, Brauny and Prince up this inning.
Hold on, Rich. Mow ’em down!
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Seems like we hit
more solo homers than with men on. Does anyone have the percentage of solo shots?
tucsoncubsfan - September 18, 2008
I'll bet most homers are solo homers
nji232 - September 18, 2008
I go to the computer lab for 10 seconds and we score
Maybe I should go there every time we bat
nji232 - September 18, 2008
Yes! Two more outs just like that.
daver - September 18, 2008
OK, one more! One more!
daver - September 18, 2008

spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
thanks, theriot. keep that up.

Thanks Braun!

Wow. Two pitches, two outs?
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Two pitches two outs
Nice
nji232 - September 18, 2008
Just walk Fielder...
Zeke - September 18, 2008
+1
I’m tired of watching him cream the ball
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Gross.
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
twss quite disappointly
Madison Cub Fan - September 18, 2008
I'd rather hit him in the knee...
but that wouldn’t be nice.
GotMinkus - September 18, 2008
OR, you could just ignore my advice and strike him out...
which, of course, is BETTER.
Zeke - September 18, 2008
Can Theriot EVER throw the ball without "double clutching"??
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
I've yet to see him do it.
drewishdrewid - September 18, 2008
no, because then he would throw guys like Hunter Pence out
We wouldn’t want that
nji232 - September 18, 2008
I saw him
throw it once with out double clutching
sue369 - September 18, 2008
because he "triple clutched".
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
Not scrappy enough.

it had to be said
nervousCUBlover - September 18, 2008
Sorry, I think the marqee matchup is
Harden facing Bush…. :)
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Dome has mastered the weak flyout
nji232 - September 18, 2008
His play is deflating...
That’s the only way I can describe it…
PurpleLineToWrigley - September 18, 2008
it's sad
there’s always next year. You can be sure he’ll be working hard during the off season
Emelie - September 18, 2008
I think so too.
sue369 - September 18, 2008
so did I while playing college ball........
it is actually pretty hard to master
graceunderpressure - September 18, 2008
anyone recall when the last line-drive came off his bat?
santoswoodenlegs - September 18, 2008
May? Possibly a random time in June
nji232 - September 18, 2008
in batting practice....
…..in June.
tony412 - September 18, 2008
that says it all
when was his last line drive……………….Geez!
graceunderpressure - September 18, 2008
coupla weeks ago. a road trip in the south-east, no?
drewishdrewid - September 18, 2008
This may amuse you all....
http://cardboardgods.baseballtoaster.com/archives/609754.html
nervousCUBlover - September 18, 2008
At least Harden's making contact
…okay, I wish I hadn’t said that
spoiledcubbage - September 18, 2008
Yeah, he seems to have found his groove.
What?
daver - September 18, 2008
a walk! hooray!
Emelie - September 18, 2008
Nice take Fonz
GotMinkus - September 18, 2008
How bout a gapper, Ryan??
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
or maybe hit it to Hart and watch him
misplay it into a triple?
DWChaney - September 18, 2008
Alfonso never swung that AB
Makes me thing they figured something out
nji232 - September 18, 2008
Is that what you call a "baserunner"?
daver - September 18, 2008
How does that sort of thing work, exactly?
Clutch16 - September 18, 2008
I think he tries to "advance" from one base to another.
Don’t quote me on that, though.
daver - September 18, 2008
dammit.
Sori out by a large margin.
drewishdrewid - September 18, 2008
