[lowest]

Derrek saved us another run on that snag.

[SwisherSweet]

YOU'RE STILL FAT FROEMMING, WAY TOO FAT, FATTY MCFATFAT

[Brian]

i'm so sick of this boneheadedness. GET THE RUN AT THE PLATE!!!!!!!!LAFJDLISAJDFKLJDSFKLJDSFKLJ

[Outshined_One]

Stop calling that pitch Hank. Froemming has not called the outside corner to RH hitters all night; what makes you think he'll start miraculously calling it?

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, Prior hasn't been as dominant this year.

 

EDIT: Where is his curve ball? He's been using slider and fb. but not his curve.

When can I stop hearing the "Aramis is really improving defensively" crap. He's a freaking butcher at third base.

[CubsHawks25]

I knew that wasn't happening... Ramirez took a *IN HOUR to run to the bag before throwing!!!!

 

Seriously, that's enough of that

 

 

Sorry. Need to do learn to do my *cussing* with my mouth and not my fingers.

[Omar]

Mark Prior with a quality start. 6 IP, 3 ER.

 

C'mon Cubs offense!

[ToupeeOnFire]

123 pitches over 6 innings.

 

Eh, arm health is overrated anyway.

[Flames24Rulz]

strikes out Morris to end the inning.

 

lets get the lead back.

[CubfaninCA]

Wonder if ARam ever considered Morris was next up.

[Brian]

i'm 90 percent positive this half inning goes 1-2-3 in about 7 pitches.

I know frustrations are high, but this we have to follow the guidelines

 

Thanks for your understanding.

C'mon Cubs offense!

 

But for his third baseman, he should be winning this game.

[CubsHawks25]

I'll just say it now to get it out of the way, when Burnitz makes another weak out with his upcoming AB... GO GET GRIFFEY!!!

Wow. If Ram is hurt and is having trouble making some of these plays, he needs to heal up, not play. Although tonight's play was more of a mental mistake than a physical one, he took way too long getting to 3rd.

[CubfaninCA]

C'mon Cubs offense!

 

That's pretty generous. Prior's suppose to be the ace, and the Cardinals have several scrubs playing. He's far from an ace.

[lowest]

think happy thoughts, burny, happy thoughts.

do something productive.

If Bruce Froemming had bent over and seen Lee's HR with his good eye, he would still be winning this game.

 

Heck, if Froemming decided not to squeeze the strike zone, then we probably would be winning, too!

[Warren Brusstar]

Wonder if ARam ever considered Morris was next up.

 

Pretty safe bet that the answer to that question is no.

[PieOnMyHands]

Whoa! He got drilled.

[Coach C]

Yikes, right at Morris.

[jaydee]

hahah Morris have fun with that

[Omar]

HAHAHA!! It just looked like Burnitz gave Froemming a friendly slap on the butt from that angle.

 

 

BTW, hope Morris is okay.
