Yeah. Certainly better than the wheel of crap they had at #5.

Absolutely. And the two minor leaguers in return were just filler. Nothing special.

Is this a smart move? Cubs are acquiring RHP Dan Haren from Marlins for two minor leaguers.

yes it is.

He pitched a gem against the Nationals yesterday , a team the Cubs will need to beat en route to the World Series.

ESPN says he's slated to start Sunday. How is that possible?

seems highly unlikely that he will pitch on 3 days rest in a regular season game.

must be a typo

They are not beating the Cardinals.

Does this effectively mean the Cubs won't be going after another starting pitcher (like David Price) in the off season? If that is the case, i'm not pleased with the move.

It could mean just the opposite. Haren is a rental on an expiring contract.

Can someone tell us who was the President the last time the Cubs won a world series? Lincoln?

Who will be the President the next time the Cubs win a World Series? Is the guy even born yet?

Cards have a lot of holes on that team right now if you ask me. Not much Offense and now Holliday not looking like he will be back to form as well.

He is making his first start tomorrow against Locke.

who you guys taking?

David Ross will likely be catching for the 3rd night in a row.

Cubs have hit Locke. He's been pretty bad lately.

Haren pitching for his 8th team. He's been through this before. Should do well. Cubs +110 or pass.
