I have the honor of starting the thread for the game in which Mark Prior will make his first start of the 2006 season. Unfortunately, I will not have the opportunity to watch the game as I have to work all day tomorrow.

 

The Cubs will most likely lose, but hopefully Prior will have a good start.

Remember when Prior was gonna start the year injury free? Yeah, I miss Feburary too.

 

Remember when he was gonna miss 1, maybe 2 starts?

 

. . . yeah. I remember that too. And I don't want to have the same memories, next year. .

I fear that the only way to change the memories is to change the personnel.

Cubs are somehow worse then worthless. I won't even watch this game because watching one of Prior's rare starts just pisses me off

For some reason I have no interest in watching this game today. I'll probably go to beer-league softball practice and then to the gym. Screw the Cubs. :evil:

I take offense to changing the game time from 11:20 PT to 1:20 CT. Just because the Cubs play in that time zone doesn't mean that the game time has to show that. I figured I would mix it up. :D
