4th
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

On the DL again
I’ll be back, that’s for sure. It’s nothing really serious. There’s just some pain right now from the fracture and it’s not allowing me to function the way I want to. Hopefully in the next couple weeks, I can get some activities in and hopefully, as we get into that third week, I’ll be getting into some serious baseball activity. I don’t think the fracture has a chance of displacing, so that’s good. That means it’s more pain threshold than anything. That’s kind of where I’m at right now.
Samardzija says he can play center? We’ll see. I’ve seen him shag. He’s all right.

Well, he's kind of being a swing guy...
…considering the only reason he’s starting is because Lilly is on the DL.

This is the reason for 13 pitchers
Hart is all over the place, and gave up a hr to Kaz. He won’t be in long at this rate. Unless beaning the homeplace umpire into submission is his master plan

Just like a QB has to forget about throwing the INT
A pitcher has to forget about the HR he just gave up. It’s not easy, but you have to do it.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
I'm more surprised that the Cubs put up 4 in the second
Usually, they fall asleep the day after they score a lot of runs.

Did anbody listen to wgn radio at like 7 pm yesterday?
Dave Kaplan had some show on, and Ryan Theriot was on the show being interviewed. They were talking about what they do after day games. Theriot told Kaplan that he took his kids to toys R us and that Rich Harden was over at his house washing his car. Kaplan says something along the lines of, Harden makes 7 million a year, why can’t he get someone to wash his car for him, and that he always gets afraid of Harden tearing his rotator cuff. Theriot relays the message onto Harden where Harden replies to Kaplan to shut up. It gave me a laugh

It is very simple for Hart to be effective. throw strikes and keep ball below thigh high. when he does that he is effective.
when not he gets hit very hard. He seems like typical 5th starter reminds me a lot of Marquis past two years. when he throws strikes and keeps ball down he can be very very good—last star. If not he can be very very bad. Also you will need to score a lot of runs to take pressure off him and on averagel best you can hope for is 5-6 innings 3-4 runs.

2:21pm: Heyman (via Twitter) thinks the Cubs are getting closer on Grabow, and could acquire another pitcher as well.

Pat: Dodgers scored a total of 6 runs in the last 3 games

Yo, Cub Fans!! back from 2 weeks in Ecuador & Galapagos islands w/ Canberra Cub Fan
Thats 2 weeks w/virtually no info on cubs (only score for one game), And what to my delight, I see on WGN TV and hear Pat on the radio describing a fun run-fest.
And to my further delight, when I checked the standings, I see the cubs have done very well w/o the Canberra and Raleigh fans watching and hanging on every pitch, every out!
Hope that doesnt mean we should STAY away!
I’ll have to check archives to see how this all happened, as cubs were 3 1/2 back on July 15 when I left!
any way, go cubs!! glad to be back..
