Hopefully Haren gives us a chance at 7 tomorrow. It would be
awesome to get out of Pittsburgh two games back of them.

Arrieta hasn't allowed more than 4 ER in any start this year.
Chris Sale has allowed 7 ER in each of his last two starts.
Arrieta is the best starting pitcher in Chicago this year.

Wasn't the season over a week ago? I'm confused.

We hardly notice it anymore---at least when Cubs get a bunch of
hits and score some runs---but Cubs quietly struck out 14 times
tonight.

And for anyone to talk about his entire season, any description
of it has to include that it has been terrible. That, however,
is different from complaining that RIGHT NOW he is the worst
hitter in the game.

Dear Dan Haren,
Please pitch well and prove my temper tantum on deadline day
wrong. In fact pitch so well that I will want to buy a Dan
Haren autograph. Same goes for James Russell.
Thanks,
CUBluejays

This would be a kind of important swing game. Win this one, get
within two of Pittsburgh, keep the momentum going, then be set
up with 4-straight games with your good pitchers. Jeff Locke
for Pittsburgh is not a great or shut-down pitcher. In the
recent winning streak, the offense has been scoring 4-runs or
more per game; can win a LOT of games with that kind of offense.
Can they do that again against Locke? Never likely to score
four runs in a single game, but it's certainly not impossible
versus Jeff Locke.
Cubs are catching a break with Bumgarner going tonight, so it's
a good head-to-head matchup against san Fran with us not needing
to us Haren and not needing to face Bumgarner.
So would be nice if haren could win tonight and we could ensure
holding at least a half-game lead over Giants entering that
series.

Starlin Castro's OBP is .182 at home past 60 days (49 games).
(MLB Rank: 214th of 215 full-time players; League Avg: .330)
@InsideEdgeScout
He's not the worst anymore!
