Well, I'll start it.

He went 5 1/3rd shutout innings with 10 K's, 3 BB's and allowed 5 hits. Pretty damn good, even if it is against the lowly Giants. I'm excited to have him in the rotation. I haven't been able to watch the game, so I'm not sure why he was pulled in the 6th, but with a 7-0 lead, no need to keep him in there longer than that.
 
He was pulled in the 6th because he was at 96 pitches.

Very typical Harden start. Didn't give up runs, but couldn't go deep into the game. Good news for Cub fans, though, is that his velocity was back up. He was consistently hitting 96 while I was watching, while in his previous start he was hovering around 91.
 
Early reports are he felt a pop in his shoulder. He is getting an MRI on it Monday.


Just kidding
 
If he stays healthy, he's the best pitcher available that was picked up and one of the best in baseball.
 
First two guys reached base in the 6th, then Harden got his 10th strikeout. Gaudin finished the inning.
 
Cubs would be well served to try and pick up one more BP arm.

Might as well try for Street or Fuentes.
 
LOL @ Mark DeRosa trying to bunt on 0-1. It's like he expected the pitcher to throw it at the bat.

But, then Wilson comes back with 4 straight balls. My God, San Fran still sucks.
 
On second glance, safe.

So, Cubs fans, how long do you leave Marmol in the setup spot? 10 ER in his last 7.1 IP. Do you hope he works through it?

LOL, against the Giants:

Marmol, 2 IP, 9 ER.

Maybe just hold him out against SF and he'll be fine.
 
I really think marmol needs to take a nice long break. This past month has been terrible for him.
 
a win is a win...Im sure Hardin wasn't happy about the no decision but is happy the cubs are a team that can still get the W
