6/24: Scrubbies (Prior) vs. All-star Twins (Bonser) 6:10 WGN

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'll watch the first few innings until I have to leave to go to my nephew's game. That should be just long enough to see Prior's exit around the fourth.

[soccer10k]

I would Prior pitch if I had the option to but would turn it off if he got hammered.

[cubs121]

atleast Walker should have been in there against a Righty! :x

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

atleast Walker should have been in there against a Righty! :x

 

Is Walker hurt or did he tell Baker to kiss his posterior when Baker tried to tell him how to hit?

[YearofDaCubs]

I thought it was the managers job to put the best lineup possible? I'm amazed he is still managing but that goes to show you how clueless this organization is. If I was in Hendry's shoes there would be no way I let this clown put a pathetic lineup like this.

Man... that's a whole lot better looking first inning for Prior than last Sunday !!

[cubweiser03]

Prior with a little downward tilt on the fastball. Not enough pitches to get a good read on him yet though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nevin singled to right field

[JonnyRed]

This has got to be the absolute worst lineup the Cubs have put on the field in 20 years. When the best BA in your first four hitters is .254 and you can't made a better DH than the .220 hitting Mabry, you know you're doomed.

 

This team is unwatchable these days...
