8-4 Cubs (Prior) at Phillies (Myers) 12:05 CT, WGN TV/RADIO

[USSoccer]

As bad as the GS is, I'm glad it cleared the bases. It could have been worse with a couple doubles.

 

4 runs, while steep for this offense, isn't insurmountable. we have 24 more outs to go. hopefully they'll wake up now.

[Brian]

warning track power....

 

remember how pop ups leave this park??

[SwisherSweet]

Okay, I was wrong. If a pitcher with the talent of Mark Prior CONSISTENTLY starts a game by sucking and giving up tons of walks and homers, then he obviously isn't prepared to start a game. It's that lazy bums Rothschild's responsibility to get his pitchers warmed up. Does Prior even throw warm-up tosses? What does Larry do all morning???

[badger1679666666]

I'll watch knowing they are behind yet maintaining they can come back in the next 8 innings.

 

Please, I need the drugs that you are on. :wink:

[YearofDaCubs]

And then people stick up for this pathetic team when fasn boo them. What a damn joke.

 

We stick up for them because we are fans. If you have some much contempt you shouldnt watch because this team has problems (obviously). I'm still going to watch and I suspect you will as well. The only difference is you'll watch and kill yourself by picking apart every mistake and I'll watch knowing they are behind yet maintaining they can come back in the next 8 innings.

Whatever suits you.

[USSoccer]

2 fly balls to the warning track thus far. We are without luck.

[Blueheart05]

Neifi doubles

BEFORE TODAY MARK HAS GIVEN UP 5 TOTAL RUNS IN THE FIRST INNING (3 WERE IN ONE GAME AGAINST STL)

 

That's not consistently sucking.

[USSoccer]

C'mon, 6-7-8. Get him home here, and we can blunt the momentum a bit

[CubsHawks25]

Just stay on the DL and get fully healthy, Nomar.

 

Woody, go get that shoulder scoped.

 

Look forward to '06 peeps.

???

 

You're saying that Prior consistently struggles in the opening innings based on what exactly?

[badger1679666666]

Dear Bdger,

I apologize for being wrong on Walker's average, but it is still my opinion that the mentality that you have is the problem with this offense. I watch Cards and Astros score runs with less talent because they have team offenses. We try to get a hit to the right side, but we refuse to give ourself up. Now being down 4, we will all try and hit HRS and score about 3 runs today!

 

Sincerely,

ME :(

 

I'm having the most craptacular day of my life for other reasons. I should just try and remove myself from this game thread.

Please watch the language. If you need a break from the game threads or from the Cubs, then -- by all means -- take one.

What language?

 

Just ease up.

 

Hahah our pitching is so overrated. We [expletive] suck and I'm done with this team. I've had it.

 

After reading this, I thought you were taking a break.

 

There is a rants section for ranting -- people should feel free to use it from time to time. :)

They were down by 3 yesterday and tied the game. This team can score runs and thus far, this pitcher doesn't look over powering. Looks like he's missing his spots.

[gerby23]

Oh how I hope this is a "gift" last start for Macias before she is sent packing...

Dreams can come true, they can happen to you...

Well I guess I have selective memory. I still believe he was not prepared to start this game. Mark Prior doesn't just let five guys in a row reach base.

It's like a drug addict. Cant help to get a little more haha. I need to take a break.

Hopefully we're patient enough to take advantage

When the Cubs are behind everything gets exaggerated.

[Jon]

Wow, thanks for the strike zone, Diaz.

Shhh, you totally just killed his point...

[Brian]

WOOHOO consistency

 

2/2 leaving a runner at third.

[CubsHawks25]

Just stay on the DL and get fully healthy, Nomar. FULLY healthy - even if that means not playing another MLB game this year.

 

Woody, go get that shoulder scoped and come back strong next year.

 

Look forward to '06 peeps.

 

 

I repeat.

Myers has been very good all year. Probably their ace. But I wish I had your optimism.
