The Rich Report (4/10): Harden Times Fall On Cubs Closer

Ah, yes. One of my favorite TBDS segments returned yesterday as Cubs starter Rich Harden took to the hill in an attempt to silence the critics who are concerned about the health of Harden's golden right arm.

Rich's Response: 6 IP 3 H 2 R 1 ER 10 K 2 BB

And how long did it take for Kevin Gregg to ruin Harden's gem of a performance?

Approximately 26 pitches.

Harden could be a sleeper Cy Young candidate if the Cubs offense can score and if their bullpen can keep opponents from scoring.

There is no reason (other than Gregg's ineptitude) Harden should have been hung with a No Decision.
