I have no issue with Harden, if he can stay healthy, which is something I hope for, but do not expect.

But he does not walk on water, and he’s not the best pitcher in baseball. The best starting pitchers in baseball go deeper in the games they start.

you have to admit it's a possibility. he'd be eligible to come back on Sunday.

I could see it happening if Lou can’t decide what position player goes when Sori comes back. That way he doesn’t have to decide until Sunday.

It is

But it is a lie saying that he is on the DL now. Just like calling the basket at Wrigley, “banks boulevard”. But since when did ESPN bother to check their facts?

but this is getting a little bothersome….because this is exactly what they did in the playoffs last year. 1 or 2 games fine, but this team cannot continue to go into prolonged offensive funks (by their superstars) and expect to go on to bigger things..

Cubs have got to start doing better on the road

Part of the answer is to focus on manufacturing runs. With guys like Theriot, Kosuke, DeRosa and Reed Johnson we should be able to do that in games. Surely Lou Piniella understands this.

Feast or famine offense has been trademark Cubs the last decade

That seemed to change with Kosuke. But with him in a nosedive the offense has gone back to being feast or famine. Which is not a good development.
