He's thrown a few breaking balls but with absolutely no accuracy...

 

WOW.

[JackBauer]

LET IT RAINNNNN

Hell, Rogers wasn't even going to swing the bat, and it still took Prior two extra pitches to get him out.

He threw a bunch, but they all missed by quite a margin. He basically had one pitch that inning.

[Outshined_One]

See guys, Prior did bring an offensive boost back with him!

 

...for the other team.

Not like Detroit needed one...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre grounded out to first, 3-1

[IowaCubsFan]

Pierre grounded out...

 

Why do I get the strange feeling that I've read that before?

[rickrolled]

For those reveling in Prior's crapiness, it is still early to say that he is done. Still, I am not watching the rest of this game.

 

probably wasn't a good idea to watch any of it

[Fred Hornkohl]

Womack struck out (called)

[cubfan1955]

39 pitches, 3 homers, 6 runs. SWEET!

[Outshined_One]

Looks like Womack's back. Yay.

[Guancous]

Let's all hope that Prior's current value will be the lowest of his entire career. This season can only be described as gruesome.

Hey Dude, Womack's the cog in our team.

[cubfan1955]

I'll bet Walker could have at least accomplished that. :wink:

I don't even that would help. :wink:

[moorecg]

Glad to see our guys took pitches and stretched the inning out and let prior rest a bit....

[Outshined_One]

Finally gets his curve over.

[Guancous]

Does anyone find it strange when Dusty has been most successful? The Giants made the playoffs when Barry Bonds reached a 19 hat size. The Cubs make the playoffs when Sammy was... bigger. The Cubs have been dreadful ever since stringent testing has been implemented. Isn't it weird how most of his strongest defenders have played the worst over the last couple of years?
