Just got home from work
Cracked open a cold one and saw that we picked up Harden. That’s one hell of a rotation we got. Nice work Hendry

Methinks the old visor I got at Wrigley
Still has some luck in it. I’ve been looking for it for weeks, found it today, and put it on right before I logged onto BCB only to find out we got Harden and Gaudin. Nice.
Now, let’s score some runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Demp!!!!!!!

Just a note for tonight
We are very shorthanded. Only 4 bench players (no replacement for Murton yet) and one pitcher short in the bullpen (Gaudin hasn’t arrived).
Of course, it will be a moot point if we light up Harang like we should.

What do you think Harden
will wear for a jersey number? My fuzzy memory recalls that Harden wore
#40 so do you think he will wear that number again for the Cubs?
And should we expect to see #57 for Gaudin?

isn't rothschild 40?
would the pitching coach give up his number? why not? then again, would hardon want rothschild’s number?

Zambrano
Healthy Harden and Zambrano make a solid 1-2 and if Dempster keeps it up and Lilly continues to pitch as well as he has most of the time we just need Marquis to give us 6 and give up 3 or 4 runs every time out like he has a good portion of the season.

Just curious if you had a friend who's an A's fan what would
If you were asked by an As fan about the guys they got what would you say?]
Me Gallagher tremendous upside. Shows a lot of promise. 22 years old,. Obvioiusly the cornerstone of the trade.
Murton: Doesn’t have a spot on the team. Has shown promise but not fulfilled. Decent double power but not homerun power. Like Michael Jackson he wears one glove for no apparent reason.
Patterson: Another promising player with no real spot on the current team. Great speed. No D.
Donaldson High upside catcher.

Oddly I had this conversation an hour ago.
He knew Murton.
I assured him he was getting a quality, young, arm in Gallagher, that Patterson had some promise, better in the infield than the outfield. Donaldson could be a good catcher.
He told me we were getting quality arms…and if Harden stays healthy, he’s the best there is.

I don’t see a real hole on this team…..especially since Lou’s made it very clear that Sori is a leadoff hitter.

Jay Bruce
Sure he was hot, but the true measure of a hitter is how successfully he adjusts to the adjustments pitchers make to him. And it looks like Brucie has a lot of work to do. I’m far from sold on him. Remember when Fontenot was batting .380 last year?

Hendry: Gaudin can give us 2 or 3 innings if we need it, a good bridge to the late inning guys,
last year had 24 starts last year, up to 93 mph, a real tuff competitor, played for lou in tampa, we’ll give him a fair shot and hopefully he fits the role. cubs only dressing 23 tonight. will relax after we win the game, a lot like Ron during the game.
