July 26: Cubs @ Mets, 11:10 AM, CSN Chicago

[Scott G. F.]

Great day for Prior. His arm was still attached to his body and he seemed to leave under his own power.

 

 

This is good news

[da bears]

Pagan walks. Start a two out rally here.

[goonys evil twin]

Anyone watching how was Prior' stuff today?

 

Wild, but effective. The best contact was a high warning track shot by Valentin and a grounder to first by Chavez. A few weak pops. His breaking stuff looked horrible, missing by several feet at times.

[Sammy Sofa]

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but...I'd rather see Neifi in there right now.

Obviously the Mets couldn't hit him, so it was probably an improvement. I don't think his stuff looked as good as it used to be, but he threw some curves that were reminiscent of the glory days. His velocity was generally in the low 90s for the fastball.

[goonys evil twin]

ronny isn't even getting close

[da bears]

Cedeno just has no clue up there right now. ahahahahhaahaha and the White Sox are already down 2-0 in the first. Nice job Buerhle.

[Sammy Sofa]

Cedeno needs to sit, like, yesterday.

 

What an embarassing inning.

[impaler_240]

they got a no hitter going? :?

[texascub]

Damnit...it's a shame that Prior gets a ND now I hate our offense.

Cedeno has been terrible, and probably is comparable to or worse than Neifi right now, but this is his first season in the majors and he isn't going to improve by sitting on the bench.

Ronny sucks. Oh and the Twins have to be cheating to beat The Mark Buerhle.

[C.C.]

Nice ovation from the fans.

 

I like how Dusty handled that. Seemed he was ready to pull him even if he kept the no-hitter thru 6, which is the right move. He gave him one chance to finish and then that's it.

 

I couldn't agree more. That was the right time to pull him, nice move Dusty.

 

And good to see NYM fans have a heart - the ovation was nice.

 

What a sec.???? Dusty is getting props????

Oh yeah. No way that Mark Buerhle could have ever thrown a fastball right down the middle. Just ask him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Here comes Novoa...there goes the game.

They are using Holograms, scoreboard signals, and sign stealing.

[Buford T Justice]

Looks like Dusty has been taking critism to heart??

He's already played more than 162 games now though. After playing in the minors last year, he went and played in the winter leagues, and then game to spring traininng; not much rest for such a young kid. IMO he's just flat out tired right now.

[PrimeTime]

You got to be kidding me... Novoa in??? this guy has blown everytime hes been in...Dusty you are a freakin idiot. damn..

[minnesotacubsfan]

Here comes Novoa...there goes the game.

 

my thoughts as well

[Laura]

Nice play!

Just made a great play!

[da bears]

HOLY CRAP. I guess if Cedeno is gonna suck with the bat at least he can make a great defensive play.

I think that's part of it. I don't want Neifi starting everyday. But Cedeno needs to sit for a couple games. Give Theriot some time.
