Wow, Don't I feel Rich...

How about this...hey, Brewers, you got C.C. Sabathia? Well we got Rich Harden. The Cubs made a trade today, saying goodbye to ginger Matt Murton, another Patterson, and Mr. Watermelon. We also threw in a catcher, but really we have G, and that's all you need. I'll miss Gallagher and Patterson, just because they had potential, and were both so young. But you have to give to get. We got two pitchers, one of which is an Ace whenever he is able to step on the field. Harden just needs to stay healthy. Wood and Prior ring any bells?  More injury prone aces. The other pitcher, Gaudin, played for Lou in Tampa and can be a swing man. This was a good deal for the Cubs, regardless. It makes our rotation  and bullpen better, and "Richer" :) CC may be the reigning AL Cy Young Winner, but Harden has made 11 straight starts this year. I hope Rich can bring some summer love to Wrigley and make us all "Harden" in our pants with awesomeness. He's expected to debut Friday or Saturday. It couldn't come soon enough...Go Cubs Go.
