    Seriously!!

    The guys seems to be all or none. Either blows a guy away or just sucks ass!
    Oh well, they got the W and Harden looked amazing!

    What the fuck is wrong with Marmol, he's been sucking for a month now. Is he taking pitching tips from Alfonsucksass?

    Hardens shit was electric though, very impressive. Just hope he stays healthy.

    BTW Wood is now out of the Allstar game.

    Blister. He was unavailable in yesterdays game apparently, but no one was aware why. Assume he's out for today as well, then the allstar game and just wait until next week when the 2nd half starts up.

    He needs to right the ship and right it quick. We NEED him to be lights out down the stretch. I think the big thing we have over Milwaukee is a much better bullpen, however if Marmol is struggling it's a wash or goes to them. If Marmol is on, and we can have the starter go 6 or 7, then someone in the 7th, or just Marmol 8 and Wood 9, we are almost unstopable.

    Marmol replaces Wood in the allstar game. Guess no one paid much attention to the last month of Marmols ERA skyrocketing

    Hey our new pitcher went the whole game and hit a homer last nite. Just wanted to share the info with you. :D

    Yup your still in first and good luck to your Cubs. It's gonna be a hell of a great 2nd half.

    I was about ready to jump through the big screen at NYNY in Vegas and kill Marmol. I had money on the game, BIG MONEY, and after the 7 - 0 lead... obviously drinks were on me and a good time was being had by all!!! In hindsight it was a fantastic game... but I about had a freakin' heart attack.

    Harden pitches great and gets screwed again. Can we score some FN runs!!!!

    Yes we can. We have the most RS in baseball. We just do not spread them out well.

    Great Pitching last night. I like what I see in Harden. Lets give him some run support.

    Sori is coming back. I hope he does not start off slow and kicks starts our offense a bit.

    Harden pitched incredibly well last night! 1 run on 1 hit in 7 innings and 10 K's...damn!

    I'm going to the game tonight! Can't wait!
