Uh oh.

Haren is looking filthy.

 

You're going to make him look a lot better if you take his fastball, and swing at his offspeed pitch.

I know it's early, but i hate to think we blew our opportunity in the 1st 2 innings

Sox had their golden opportunity to put a run on the board and it doesn't look like Haren's going to give them any more.

Cy Haren out there tonight.

 

Too bad he's going to get it here in a few innings.

We need Buehrle to hold the A's down. I'm confident we'll be able to score a few runs tonight.

Oh he's gonna be had.

 

In time my friend, in time.

Have they said anything about Uribe?

That's because he disguises it really really well. Arm angle and release point look very similar, the hitters need to figure out some tendancies of what this guy throws when in the count ... and fast.

It's ok everyone, Pablo will produce a run himself this game.

nice inning for mark, 1-2-3

Good observation. Right now, our hitters are in-between against Haren. They have to take away either his fastball or splitter. Since they're not going to touch his splitter, they might as well look to rip the heater. Mackowiak's inability to lay off of a 58 footer really hurt in the 2nd.

Nice play, nice inning

Some nice defense for a change. Let's score some runs already.

Suck em up Joe!

Whats his pitch count?

Whats his pitch count?

75

 

Haren has just 56.

Kendall is setting up away after Haren gets a strike on right handers. Then he nibbles further out trying to get our guys to swing at crap.

I'm calling it - Cintron's going to be a hero tonight

Can Maddux play 1st? Because he can sure swing the stick, and the Cubs need it

f*** yea mack!!!

There we go.

A nice break for us. It's time for Ozuna to get the bunt down. Bunt it at Swisher, and make him make the play.

Mackowiak is heating up and that's a good thing.

 

He's very streaky.

I'm usually with you complaining about our hitter's approach. However, Haren has some dynamite stuff so far.
