How pleased everyone else was for him

was my highlight. You could see Hank patting him on the back. That was really sweet.

I think it’s just his face. - dat cubfan daver

when DOESN'T Harden kick butt?

His change-up makes me cry with happiness.

As long as they are Cubs runs,

it’s fine with me

He was warming up before the rally

So instead of hustling someone else out there, use him. He threw only four pitches in his last outing.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 24, 2008 3:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh...

Fair enough. Didn’t see that he was warming up prior to the rally. Thanks.

that last play is why Theriot is our starting SS

the one that Rami and he both missed?

No it was his hustle after the ball that kept it to a one base error

that is a big deal.

I have a question for everybody...

Say that you had a chance… I dunno, you won a contest or something… you had a chance to face a major league pitcher for one at-bat in an exhibition setting. Is there anyone you’d like to face less than Marmol?

Hell, I played baseball at a decently high level, and I would run screaming away from the batter’s box before he released his first pitch.
