    Same. Hopefully he opts-out next year and we get a couple of draft picks.

    WTF!!!! Billy Beane better have gotten back a truck load of talent for him. This pisses me off Harden finally looks heathly and Beane trades him. The A's are still in the race man Frank Thomas is going to be back soon. Man I was all for trading Joe Blanton, but man Rich Harden.

    Take the division? Nah. If anything, Brewers get the Wildcard and Cubs win the divison.


    With an addition of a great arm and Soriano coming off DL soon, we'll keep on it.

    NL Central is going to be a great race this year, but I think the Cards are the odd team out.

    I just read on mlb.com who the A's got. Nobody looks special to me. People say Harden has the best stuff in the majors, and this is the best Beane can do for him. I know he's been hurt alot, but he looked really good since coming off the the DL.This Reminds me of the Tim Hudson trade. A's got nothing Braves got an ace.

    Gallagher is potentially a good 3 or 4 man right now. Murton is pretty garbage but Patterson has show some flashes of being decent. Don't know much about the catch, but we're set with Soto for a while.

    well yeah, dont get me wrong, i LIKE the cubs, i just think soriano will not be the same with the amount of time on the DL. i say the brewers win the central cubs take the wild cards, phillies take the east and LA taking the west.
    I will be what i could be

    The Brewers may have an easier schedule, but the Cubs have much greater depth in pitching, and their offense is more consistent. They need not rely on the the HR as much as the Brewers.

    Cubs will take the Central and the Brewers will battle it out with the Cards for the wildcard.

    My dream is that the cubs take the central. The Crew take the wildcard and then knock the Cubs out. :D

    harden wont even finish the season


    oakland would have been better to let him walk and get the compensation picks...

    He's also not going to have to pick up as many innings per start as the Cubs pen is considerably better than the A's. That should allow less stress on a fragile arm.

    who cares about finishing the season?

    He just needs to be healthy for the postseason. That is all that matters.

    If so, it'll be for the Wild Card & the Division.


    No way the Brew Crew or Cubs are not making the playoffs.

    Well we're pretty much on pace right now...at least moreso than the Brewers or the Cards.



    The Cubs only need to go 42-31 the rest of the season to get to 95, which will more than likely, win the divison.

    yeah but dont count out the cards, they can get very hot. and the brewers are set up for alot of wins. no doubt they will make the playoffs but now every game against the cards and brewcrew means a hell of alot more.

    Yeah, but look at this rotation now:

    Zambrano
    Harden
    Dempster
    Lilly
    Marquis/Marshall


    That's pretty impressive and Lilly could be a number 2 on a bunch of teams. Cubs are working with VERY quality stuff now a days.

    And The Cubs should have swept the Cards last weekend. We won the series and I'm not worried about them at Wrigely.

    I'm happy because I have Gallagher on my fantasy team.
    He'll start every fifth day now on the A's.

    He's averaging 5.9 IP/G, hardly stressful.

    nope. no worries about getting to the postseason either way. The Cardinals are going to fall way off in the 2nd half... finishing with about 84 wins. The Brewers will be right there and it might be close, but either AT LEAST a Wild CArd berth is almost inevitable.

    Harden is great....when he's healthy
    The reality is you just picked up Mark Prior part II.

    That's a horrible comparision. Maybe Mark Prior from 2003. But he's been far more reliable than Mark Prior in the last 3 years.


    He's healthy now, and that's all that matters.
