    Give the Cubs scouts credit. They told Harden and Lilly that this team could not hit off speed and breaking balls, so give them a steady diet of them. I also imagine the scounting report mentioned the fact that our hitters will swing at anything.

    DeRosa hit a 177 hopper up the middle and Keppinger was no where to be found.

    What are the odds that the first nine are retired on less than 30 pitches?
