breaking, SHOCKING news

Cubs acquired RHPs Rich D.L. Harden and Chad Gaudin from the Oakland Athletics for RHP Sean Gallagher, OF Matt Murton, INF Eric Patterson and C Josh Donaldson. If Harden can stay healthy, and that's a huge "if," the deal fills the Cubs' biggest need on the heels of Milwaukee signing C.C. Sabathia earlier this week. Harden is 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 13 starts this season, and has 92 strikeouts in 77 innings, but he did spend a month on the disabled list. Gaudin is 5-3 with a 3.59 ERA, and will join Chicago's bullpen.

Perhaps a slice of pepperoni lodged in his brain?

Say a prayer for Surf Boy...but this is the happiest I've ever been as a Cubs fan. So now I'm worried.

Goddamn. A genuine motherfucking out-getter of the first order. With a shoulder held together with tape and bubble game. Is there nothing that attracts the moth that is the Cubs and Cubs fan to the flame any faster.

Burn motherfucker burn. Burn through October.

I love Rich Harden.

Love.
Love.
Love.
