Today Rich Harden pitched for the Cubs against Jason Marquiz and the Rockies, but unfortunately for us and Rich, he pitched like crap. But lets take the good out of the bad, he had 8 strikeouts in 3 innings (wow, what if he had some sort of arm strength, he would average 15-20 strikeouts per nine innings.) It was really just a bad start in my estimation. Some of the talk show/radio host are saying that Rich could be hurt cause he doesn't throw like that when healthy, so there assuming he's injured. In fact I think Rich had to much strength so he over pitched due to his occasional 97+ MPH fastballs, in which he rarely reaches that height.
| Chi Cubs | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO | HR | ERA |
| Harden (L, 0-1) | 3.0 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 5.00 |
The Cubs we're pretty boring today, besides Derrek Lee's bomb in the ninth inning. Another positive in today's game was the bullpen and especially David Patton who is really coming into his own. Stats below;
| Chi Cubs | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO | HR | ERA |
| Patton | 2.0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2.25 |
| Vizcaino | 1.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 |
| Cotts | 1.0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3.86 |
| Guzman, A | 2.0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 5.79 |
