Go CUBS !!

Mark Priors Calves · July 31, 2006

Brandon Webb is good.

Fred Hornkohl · July 31, 2006

Brandon Webb is good.

So was Carpenter, no?

RonnieWooWooSanto · July 31, 2006

With the wind expected to be blowing out at 15 miles per hour, it is a good day to for the D'backs to have Webb pitching.

I hope to be wrong here, but I have a feeling the Cubs might get massacred.

I like young players, so I'm interested in seeing Stephen Drew and Carlos Quentin(if he plays) at Wrigley.

Mark Priors Calves · July 31, 2006

Indeed he was good. Now if the Cubs were facing a young, lefty pitcher in his first big league stat, then I would be concerned.

Andy · July 31, 2006

I will be at this game and the following two. Go Prior, and Go Cubs.

Greetings to all from beautiful Terrell, TX.

You're hitting all my old stomping grounds this week.

Sure getting around aren't you Fred?

soccer10k · July 31, 2006

I'll tune in to see how Prior is doing when I get off of work.

Sammy Sofa · July 31, 2006

CUBS are 0-0 when they've won their last 4 game(s) in a row

We're tearing the fabric of reality apart!!!!

You know Dusty won't use Zambrano as a PH. Especially not when he has Neifi Perez!

Who do you think are you kidding? Neifi is getting the start, of course!

Sammy Sofa · July 31, 2006

I'm banking on a mass suicide in the clubhouse.

Are you sure it wasn't Texarkana? :D

OK. Then John Mabry, unless he'll be starting at 1st.

A New Era · July 31, 2006

Will we see Izturis today?

Outshined_One · July 31, 2006

Will we see Izturis today?

Nah, usually the guy has to fly into Chicago, get a uniform, get a locker, get settled, and so on. That'll take more than four hours to do.

We'll probably see him tomorrow.

Coming off the 4 game sweep of the Cardinals, I was excited about this game.

Upon hearing about Hendry's latest example of how to be a failure, I couldn't care less.

7/31 Diamondbacks (Webb) @ Cubs (Prior); 7:05 CT, CSN Chicag
