And So It Begins

Five losses in a row and...

Rich Harden, who isn't scheduled to start again until next Wednesday, admitted to some arm discomfort. "I’ve been feeling pretty good, but I guess I’ve had a little bit of discomfort you could call it. But nothing serious," he said. It's always serious when it comes to Harden. He'll go 11 days without pitching before attempting to return to the mound next week.

Carlos Zambrano didn't undergo the MRI scheduled for Wednesday for an undisclosed reason. "He was supposed to take an MRI today," manager Lou Piniella said. "It was available to him and he didn’t take it today. That’s it. And that’s what I get from our medical people." Zambrano was examined, but the Cubs didn't release any further details about that. They have ruled him out for his scheduled start Sunday. Sean Marshall will get the nod then.
