Wouldn't that be awesome if...

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

the Cubs responded this year to the D-Lee injury, in the same manner that last year's team responded to Prior going down? How many games was it that the Cubs won in a row? 12,13?

I really hope they do!!

[Brian]

it wasn't 12 or 13 maybe 6-7 tops. They won that game and the last Rockies game (2), swept the dodgers (3), and only took 3/4 from the Padres..

7 in a row, 9 of 10.

That would be especially nice considering we have the Cardinals coming up.

What would be nice is if Woody comes back the first week in May and Prior comes back the third week in MAy and they stay healthy the rest of the year.

 

I would do whatever Satan would want me to do if this would be deemed so.

What month was that in, June? I remember being on vacation and not being able to get any scores, and when I finally got to a paper, I found out they had been on a tear. Nice way to end a vacation.

While Prior was out last year, we went 16-11 in 27 games........

So we won 9 out of 10 right when Prior was injured, including the game he got hurt in. If I remember correctly, Lee hit EXTREMELY well during that win streak. Hopefully we can run off a streak like that and have somebody else, Aramis maybe, get hot as well. We do have the Marlins coming up.
