Pagan leading off? Uh oh.

Pagan leading off? Uh oh.

 

And can care less about the Lineup today. It's all about Prior and Hill for me today...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Weather should hold.

 

Looks like there are some thunderstorms coming from the south that might affect the latter portions of the game.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pagan leading off? Uh oh.

 

Trying to get his outs over as quickly as possible.

Prior vs Maddux, the matchup in Game 3 vs Atl ... seems like eons ago.

 

That was such a good game.

I almost forgot Mark DeRosa was on that 2003 Atl team. He doubled and scored the only run in that game, and was a thorn in the series, going 3 for 7 with 2 doubles and a walk. Hopefully he'll post good postseason numbers for the Cubs this year too :wink: (hey I can dream)

So does Prior hit 90 or 91 MPH today? I feel hell hit 89 at the highest

I have a knot in my stomach just thinking about seeing Prior pitch. How times have changed...

I've had a knot in my stomach everytime he's pitched since about 2005. I'm always worried he's going to suck or injure himself.

I'm calling it now. Prior pitches 4 innings, letting up 1 run and 3 K's.

I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself. Some improvement would be welcomed.

It would be nice to know if Prior's readings are actually 5-6 mph slow....

Does it matter?

 

It does when trying to figure out how accurate it is on Prior's pitches so that people can know if his velocity has improved or not.

Prior still throws as hard as Maddux -- hopefully that means Mark can still win 15 games every year...
