According to Sullivan, Lou wants to narrow the 5th starter's race down to 2 pitchers by the 20th.

 

Big outing by Prior today.

 

It isn't that big. I think if he stays healthy the race is Prior vs. Prior alternative.

 

I agree. I think the debate is a tool to motivate Prior. If he's healthy and not abysmal, he's in.

JJ strikes out

 

you're about 10 sec ahead of the internet feed.

I know Prior is scheduled to go 3, is Lilly supposed to too?

And the Mets/Nationals game goes into extra innings. I hate XM radio. :x

I was just about to post the same thing. Why have a bunch of empty channels???

I know Prior is scheduled to go 3, is Lilly supposed to too?

 

Len said that was the plan. If Guzman also goes three, there's your pitchers for today.

[CUBZ99]

I know Prior is scheduled to go 3, is Lilly supposed to too?

 

Len said Prior is only going 2, with Guzman going possibly 3.

I know Prior is scheduled to go 3, is Lilly supposed to too?

 

They said Lilly for 3 and Prior for 2.

[PrimeTime]

Jake Westbrook shut the Reds out for three innings and struck out four on Saturday.

 

He allowed just a single. With long-term contract negotiations ongoing, Westbrook has given up one run in seven innings this spring.

 

 

I still wish we wouldve traded for him.

Huh, interesting. Cubs.com had said earlier that Prior was supposed to go 3.

So they can play the same stupid thing on all 8 open channels. :evil:

 

It really drives me insane. I don't understand it at all.

I was looking at Mike Kinkade's stats and I never realized he was such an HBP machine. Hard to believe that over his last two minor league seasons, he's gotten hit by 52 pitches.
