6/18 Tigers (Cameraman Puncher) at Cubs (Prior) 1:20CT WGN

What I love is that Prior threw 39 pitches in the first inning. Rogers is at 35 through 3 innings. Our offensive approach is incredible.

 

Dude, baseball's all about being aggressive at the plate!

Great !! We're up to 3.18 P/PA now.

 

Go CUBS !!

Everything is falling into place Mr. Hendry:

 

Kerry Wood: Check

 

Mark Prior : Check

 

Wade Miller: ???? :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

LOL...Prior leaves with a season ERA of around 13.5. On the plus side it will most likely go down IF he makes another start this year.

 

17.18 !! Sheesh !

My bad. Math wasn't my strong suit.

 

Ugly catch by Jones. :lol:

 

That Sheesh was aimed at Prior, not you. :wink:

[Outshined_One]

That was a bomb.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez homered to left field

[CuseCubFan69]

Jock misjudges a fly ball and it's a great catch?

 

Nice shot ARam. Of course they are solo shots Len, no one can get on base.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nevin singled to center field

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Do the Cubs lead the league in solo shots?

 

You would think occasionally a runner would be on base.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

6-4-3 dp......did you expect more?

No problem. That's the way I took it. Is that ERA correct with 7 earned runs? One of the runs was unearned.

I doubt it. They don't hit enough to lead the league but they probably lead the league in percentage of homeruns that are solo.

Obviously it is working out well for he Cubs :twisted:

Yeah... he's been in a bit of a funk himself.

[muntjack]

Why do I know the following conversation has taken place

 

 

 

Dusty: Sit down, Big Murt. I understand that you've been taught to hit the ball the other way......and that's a good thing. There's a time for that. But to stay up here with the big boys you NEED to pull the ball and display some power. This team doesn't have a lot of power, so we need it from you. Now get out there and start swinging.

 

 

Matt: But....er........okay.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Guillen flied out to the track in right center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Thames homered to left field

[UMFan83]

This loss will put us on pace for a 62-100 season. Great job guys! BTW, We haven't lost 100 in a season since the 60's. This might be the worst Cubs team in 40 years, and that says a lot.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Souvenirs for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IowaCubsFan]

Cubs trying to set another record today for most homers given up in a game.

[Balsa]

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......just tuned in, and boy are we having fun!!!

[CuseCubFan69]

Why not just put a batting T on the plate and play defense? At least there won't be any walks.
