Bottom of 1. Fukudome up. Harang falls behind 3-0, makes it to full, then gives up a line-drive single to left.

BTW, Gameday shows Gomes instead of Nix in the lineup...is that correct?

Theriot, noted slugger (career-high 7 HR in 2009), hits one to the wall in left-center. Taveras has it, one down. Described by Thom as a floater that just carried.
This could be a bad for a fly-ball pitcher like Harang.
D. Lee to the dish. Takes a fastball strike (described by Gameday as an 86-mph changeup). Breaking ball away. Low, 2-1. Jam shot is popped up into short right- Phillips dives out of the way as Dickerson comes swooping in for the catch.
Two down.
A-Ram steps in. 1-1 count. Fastball up-and in, 2-1. High fly to right-center falls in the gap. Relay throw does not get Fukudome and the Cubs lead 1-0. Hanigan had the plate blocked and the throw was good, but Kosuke slid right around the catcher.
Gamesmaster up. Falls behind 0-2 after waving at an 88-mph fastball. Another "heater" stays away. Fouled back. Swing and a miss!
1-0 Cubs after 1.
I have seen Harang start off slow and get faster as the game goes on, so don't assume he's toast just yet.
EdE doubles. Gomes GO on the first pitch.
Top of 2. Edwin against Randy Wells. First pitch is ripped over Soriano's head in left and Encarnacion has a double. Soriano almost let EdE have a triple when he momentarily couldn't find the ball in the ivy. Apparently there was a warmup ball still in the ivy or something.
Gomes goes hackin' and grounds to short. One down.
Reds are swinging at a lot of first pitches early here....I guess as long as they are hits it's okay...

Let's see if Hanigan can do this a little better than Gomes. Takes a fastball high. Fouled away, 1-1. Broken-bat flare drops into short left for a base hit, but Edwin was not watching Mark Berry and has to hold at third. More announcer hyperventilation over this.
EE needs to be clean up hitter right now
