Sorry for the lack of posts the past few weeks guys, been pretty busy. Let's move on to some of the news:
The Chicago Cubs will attempt to keep their season alive tonight, as they send Rich Harden out to the hill to face the Los Angeles Dodgers and Japanese-import Hiroki Kuroda. The Cubbies were embarrassed in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field as they lost both of their games by decent sized margins and now face a 2-0 deficit in this best-of-5 series. Speaking of Japanese imports, Chicago manager Lou Pinella made it clear that Kosuke Fukudome will not be the team's right-fielder for the remainder of the series. Seems like a smart move, as Kosuke declined each and every month of the year.
I have to give the edge to Chicago in this one as Harden is a very tough pitcher to be facing in Game 3 of any series, especially when you see guys like Dave Bush starting Game 3's elsewhere. Rich is going to have to keep pounding the strike zone, as Los Angeles has been working the count quite a bit against those Cubs and don't figure to let up in front of their home crowd.
