7/7 Gm 1 Chicago (Prior 5-2) at Atlanta (Ramirez) 12:00 CST

[TruffleShuffle]

Someone wake me up when we start scoring some runs.

 

OK Rip Van Winkle ;)

 

DAMN YOU FOR MAKING THAT WITTY REPARTEE BEFORE ME

[hawkeyecub]

Unfortunately Hairston and Dubois aren't doing much to earn more playing time early on.

 

Hairston has now struck out twice on a total of 6 pitches. Not typical for Jerry.

[gerby23]

Hairston is just showing Dusty he can strike out at the top of the order too. He wants playing time and Dusty plays th eguys that do that...right?

Cubbie from TX in AR

[Rusch33]

Nothing like making another average Braves pitcher look like cy young.

[Flames24Rulz]

Prior strikes out Furcal.

[TruffleShuffle]

Wow, this Kelly Johnson guy has 23 walks in just 112 ABs... must be nice...

24 now. and only 25 K's.

[Wendy City]

2 outs. Must be time to start scoring runs against the Cubs.

[otis89]

Cubs, I have a direct order from Jim Hendry. START SCORING SOME RUNS!!!!!!!!

[YearofDaCubs]

Perez was good for us in the beginning but I'm getting sick of him.

[YearofDaCubs]

3 pitches 2 outs. What a joke.

[gerby23]

We need Ramirez to have a 20-25 pitch inning...fingers crossed.

ha, oh well

[boilerXmen4116]

i've been gone away from TV, Radio, and Internet for the last week. but i see that we are having some MAJOR offensive problems. have the stretch singers been saying 'lets get some runs'? cos that is the only explanation i have for us sucking so horribly.

 

oh wait... nix that whole idea above... i figured it out... we just dont have anybody good on our team that can get on base and make things happen. sad sad sad.

[JGalt73]

Perez was good for us in the beginning but I'm getting sick of him.

 

The scary thing is that even with a torrid April, he is now BELOW his horrible career OPS.

Too bad Hendry can't actually swing a bat...Then again, how can he be worse than Macias?

[badger1679666666]

54 pitches through 3 for Prior

42 pitches through 4 for Ramirez

 

You think anyone shows em those stats, because seemingly EVERY game there is a huge disparity.

[gerby23]

8 pitches?? 4ip and 42 pitches. Way to work the counts Cubbies. Geez

oh come on now. enough ripping on macias. its like beating a special ed student in basketball.

[YearofDaCubs]

This is ridiculous. Something needs to be done.

[Wendy City]

41 pitches in 4 innings. This is a leadership problem. This is squarely at Dusty's door.

[UMFan83]

PC Check

 

Ramirez - 4 IP 42 pitches

Prior - 3 IP 54 pitches

[E.J.]

Wow. I guess I'm glad I can't watch this game. Our offense is awful.

[TruffleShuffle]

It's Prior's fault the Cubs will lose this game. Everybody knows that with this band of scrubs in the lineup, the Cubs wouldn't score any runs. 1 run allowed is 1 run too many.

[Rusch33]

Prior looks damn good today.

 

*Knocks on wood*

Yup he shouldn't have throw pitches that would be hit towards Dubois
