9/5 Cubs (Prior) @ Cardinals (Suppan) 1:15pm WGN

[Slider]

Macias to bat for Cedeno.

 

FUDusty.

 

Dusty is pathetic.

 

OK, it's just time to laugh about the Cubs again. HA! I want a $100 million organization I can run this way...

[cubfan75]

Pray for a strikeout. DP would be deadly.

[wekse]

DUMB

[YearofDaCubs]

Rookies get no respect on this team.

[AC036198]

I can't believe it. Macias hitting for Cedeno.

 

GRUNT X 1 TRILLION!

[cubfan75]

At least his AB didn't bury us.

[Slider]

At least his AB didn't bury us.

 

No--the other 128 this year did.

[cubfan75]

When will umpires realize DLee is 6'5".

[emoore]

Just great.

[wekse]

JOKE

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It's a good thing the Cubs are thinking about re-signing Dusty. :roll:

Grudz right behind the bag at 2nd to turn an RBI single into a double play.

Dusty is a freaking moron. I'm sure Cedeno couldn't have hit a sac fly any better than Macias.

Dusty? Is that you?

[MembersOnlyJacket]

Brilliant use of the charts by LaRussa and Duncan. You could see them thumbing them through when Lee came up to bat and they had Grudzielanek shaded to the middle. I can't think of another duo in the game who studies the charts and aligns the defense better than those two. This should be a 6-5 game, 2 on, 1 out.

Dusty gave that game to us.

Dusty gave that game to us.

 

he does seem to have a penchant for doing that...

[NorthsideAvenger]

Dusty gave that game to us.

 

If you want to thank us, take Dusty Baker off our hands.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dusty gave that game to us.

We'll make it a trade. We give you Dusty, you give us Pujols. O:)

[Mizzou]

Wow, what a crappy game to attend. My record is now 2-2 on the year.

[jjgman21]

I refuse to let Prior off the hook for being partially reponsible for this loss. he pitched well, as he almost always does, but there's more to winning the ballgame than pitching well for six innings. because of his infatuation with the strikeout, once again over 100 pitches before he reaches the seventh inning.

 

I don't know of any pitcher in baseball (besides Kerry Wood) who consistently surrenders so few hits but has to leave the game at the end of six because of his pitch count. 100 pitches should get your team through 8 innings 9 out of 10 times. it gets Prior to the eighth 1 out of 10 times.

 

groundout, popout, flyout = strikeout. with the bullpen in the state its in and has been all year, its about time Prior starts pitching to some contact and working deeper into games instead of worrying about his K totals.

Agreed. I don;t have the numbers but one of the reasons the bullpen has sucked this year has to be because they have worked a crapload of innings.
