Harang took over the major league strikeout lead with Johan Santana last night, but Edinson needs just 6 to pass them. I don't see why he can't do that today.
But the story here is probably Lieber. He's making his first start since last June, replacing Rich Hill, whom the Cubs optioned to Iowa on Saturday. Lieber probably won't last too long, as he hasn't pitched 5 innings in a game this season. He's not really striking guys out, but he's been effective.
Let's win.

Have you taught Little Man to say “1908” yet? What about “Bartman?”

He has learned the word "stupid"
and though we generally discourage it’s use, I will make a one day exception as long as it’s pointed at Chub Fans. My goal is to not go all Lee Elia in front of my son. I don’t set the bar that high at the ‘ol Ballyard.

I tried to teach my son the word "sucks" this weekend
as it was the only word that would properly describe the incredibly poorly designed bubble blowers we were playing with. Luckily, he doesn’t listen to me much.

"together for bubble-blowing adventure!"

The diameter of the blow-holes should be measured in microns
I think we saw one successful bubble detach in about 10 minutes of trying. It’s perfect for play dates as long as you hate the kids you are playing with.

I believe it was Bill Hicks who said

I was a big fan of Hicks
He said something along the line that “politics makes strange bedfellows. Saddam wants to kill George (HW) Bush, and suprisingly enough I do too. Who wouldve thunk it?”

I think it was Hicks who had a line:
“If you’re in college and you’re studying marketing, would you do us all a favor and kill yourself now?”
The audience would laugh and he’d say, “No, I’m serious. If you can’t find a better way to spend your parents’ money and a better way to spend your life than marketing. You should just die.”
The audience would again laugh and he’d say, “No. Really. Kill yourself. Stop laughing. It’s not a joke. Die.”

No Soriano today
I know Cubs fans had been clamoring for Lou to drop him from the leadoff spot due to terrible production (sound familiar?), but he had a decent game yesterday, and the Reds are generally the cure for your offensive woes. I’m surprised to see him out of the lineup.
Also, I called that Cherry Hudson, Jr. sighting last night. Hooray for me!

Sort of
but not really. At bats are ending a lot earlier, but surprisingly the Reds are actually swinging at the first pitch less than they did last year. But slightly more than the league average – I think. The big problem is that they are the 2nd worst team in the NL when they put the ball in play on the first pitch (.737 OPS). The league average is .896 OPS when the ball is put into play on the first pitch.

I love it when announcers try to be nice
“Boy, Patterson is really struggling right now.”
translation: “Boy, Patterson really sucks!”

HOLY CRAP
Patterson struck out!
I was okay with him playing, under the “Freel is best when he doesn’t play every day” rule. The leadoff thing… still tired.

I think he pretty much has
This is Freel’s rest day, plus day game after night game dictates scrubs in the lineup. It’s just when he DOES play, he still bats leadoff. Even though Cherry Hudson should have that job for the time being.

They were busting on him
for being an 800 hitter when it comes to pulling a ball down the line. 3 beats, then he blasts it into the left field stands.
As they went to commercial, you could hear Brenly say “Yeesh”

Cueto has 44, Volquez has 43 (now). Harang is tied for the MLB lead with Santana at 47.
