Uhhhhh.
A black cat was released onto the field @ Shea during the 1969 playoff race as Santo was standing in the on-deck circle. It’s attributed as the point that ended our season and gave the f*&^ing Mets the playoff spot. Thus, Ron passionately hates, hates, hates the Mets and Shea.

obviously you've never been bitten by a cat
they have special bacteria in their saliva that can lead to some nasty infections. Our house cat who is completely clean, but weighs 15 pounds tagged my mom once on the leg. Put her out of commission for the weekend and required to trips to the emergency room for swelling and pain

Pitch Count through 4
Owings 63-44strikes
Harden 64- 40 strikes
Wow it felt like Owings was really far ahead in pitches.

Fun little Time waster!
He must have been for awhile
This has all the makings of a decent outing though. I just want to see him go 7 at the very least.
he was...
until the last 2 innings. 8-pitch 3rd and 10-pitch 4th for Owings closed the gap.

Every time he strikes someone else out...just add "1". Does that help?

What is up with Geo's warning track power?
I normally don’t freak out over certain things with the Cubs. But it looks like he’s still hurting.

He will come around. He is still showing a good swing but his timing is off a little.
Harden goes
3-0 on Gonzales.

Can we talk about something besides Owings' batting ability?
GameBoard’s neverending groin strain? Soto’s lack of hitting? Our crappy bullpen? Anything?

Man Harden's fastball really pops more than others.
He’s only throwing low 90s right now, but it looks deceptively fast and snappy. I love it.

Yeah it is a crisp fastball
As long as he locates and the changeup is going he needs no breaking balls.

PLEASE
Can we stop with the stupid petty ass arguments? This is getting old, some of us would like to discuss the actual game being played and it’s a pain having my screen jumping to some stupid grade school argument. Get serious people. Harden is pitching a good game and we are tied 2 -2.

OT: Did people notice that Felix Pie is 0 for his last 16 ABs?
….and IIRC seven strikeouts out of the last 16 ABs. You hear that stuff when you live near Baltimore like I do.
