You are not irritated they will probably lose 2 of 3 to the worst team in baseball?
I understand its a nine inning game but the Cubs are not known for coming back or hitting in the clutch. So this game is about over.

Harden and Heilman Claimed off Waivers
Should be interesting to see what the Cubs do with Harden here. Get good value in trade or collect the draft picks.

Probably the Mets

sorry -- I was thinking of where Harden might end up

Howry hasn’t been terrible for them this year – maybe they have a thing for ex-Cubs relievers.

I don’t think he speculated on who would be dumb enough to want interested in Heilman
He didn't.
But someone in the NL is dumb enough to claim him, per the article.
