He’s only the second player in the past 70 years to end a home run drought of at least 600 at-bats by homering in consecutive games, joining former Cub Gene Clines more than 30 years ago.

The IRS sent us
a check for $101.50 and on the same day sent us a statement saying we owed them $101.58. The 8 cents was the interest on the 101.50 we owed.

Another nice victory
Harden looked shaky early but dominant late. Offense in the first inning was all the Cubs needed. And they took advantage of some gifts.
Here’s hoping Lilly doesn’t get smacked around like he did last time in Houston and they get the sweep.
Not Bruce Froemming - May 6, 2009
Pretty solid night
Quality start leads to a win for Harden
Cubs scored all the runs they needed in the first
bullpen actually held the lead
Gregg looks a bit better

And I love when Kevin Gregg throws strikes.
Allie - May 6, 2009
1-2-3 is not a bad way to get your 5th save
Clutch16 - May 6, 2009
Was this his first 1-2-3 inning?
Vermont Cubs Fan - May 6, 2009
Not sure
Seemed that way, though. It was kind of a shock to not see that lead-off walk.
Clutch16 - May 6, 2009
Sure seems like it but actually
He pitched two awesome innings in a Cards game saving Marmol’s ass.
Doggie Stalker - May 6, 2009
True.
Had forgotten about that. Had to put out Marmol’s fire and then shut ’em down in the 9th, as well.
Clutch16 - May 6, 2009
He really was great in that outing
I hope we see more of that guy.
Allie - May 6, 2009
in 12.2 IP, he has had four 1-2-3 innings
BoVandy - May 6, 2009
Nope
I’ll take that
Allie - May 6, 2009
I still hate seeing all those guys LOB
but at least we’re getting them there, and pushed enough over. Nice game by Harden.
chitownhawkeye - May 6, 2009
I think we clogged the bases too much tonight

You're right
