One HELL of a game last night between the Cubs and the DBacks. Harden allowed only 1 hit (a solo HR) and lost the game. The Unit went seven shutout innings to improve to 13-0 in 14 starts against the Cubs. According to the Arizona Republic, only one other pitcher (Sal Maglie, 10-0 in 19 appearances from 1954-58) is undefeated in 10 or more starts against Chicago.
Oh, and the reason why I can't stand the Cubs? Phoenix is full of Chicago transplants and they invade our ballpark like cockroaches when the Cubs are in town. Our loyal newspaper (some of the senior sports writers are from Chicago) even had a full page spread about the Cubs, all their tradition, and readers' greatest memories of the Cubs. Embarrassing.
