Harden owned them

Aside from the gopher ball to Hart, Rich Harden could do no wrong. The double by Hall was actually more of a Cubs "team error." That leaves a single and one (unintentional) walk, plus an unearned run. Fortunately, all those strike-outs took up a lot of pitches, and Harden got pulled so soon during a great start that the Cubs used almost their entire bullpen in a regulation game. If the Brewers' hitters get over their three-game slump, knocking the starter out before the sixth could really pay off in the later innings Saturday.

And speaking of that bullpen, how stupid is it to use Gregg instead of Marmol as the closer?
