What has a higher probability of occuring the above or Mark Prior having a dominating start tonight?

[gflore34]

I guess the more realistic question isn't whether or not Prior will have a dominating start but, what's the over-under on how many 1st inning runs he'll give up. Or how many 2 out, 0-2 RBI hits he'll give up....

[E.J.]

Let's see, I'm guessing Prior gives up his usual 3 first inning runs tonight before deciding to pitch well.

[Derwood]

The Cubs magic number to be eliminated from playoff contention is 4. #-o

[gflore34]

Let's see, I'm guessing Prior gives up his usual 3 first inning runs tonight before deciding to pitch well.

 

I'm going lower, 2 1st inning runs precipitated by a two out walk after Prior was ahead 0-2.

No no no...you guys got it all wrong...this is the time of the year when Prior pitches 3 straight complete game shutouts with 16+ Ks in each game...giving us much hope for next year...until he is forced to miss time in spring training and not get is first start till June...

You could also ask how many homers he'll give up tonight or you could ask how many 0-2 counts will turn into 3-2 counts before he strikes a guy out?

Go Prior! Help my fantasy team get out of 6th!

[illiniguy]

oh joy neifi is the lead off hitter. :roll: Yep I don't even need to watch this game tonight. Between that and Prior being average now. Exciting times.

[Mizzou]

Neifi, Corey, and Blanco in the same lineup... man that's a rough lineup!

[gflore34]

Thus far, at least 1 first inning run...will Prior ever pitch a scoreless 1st inning again?

[muntjack]

Murton clogging again. That OPS is nearing 1.000.

No. It's become a routine.

[muntjack]

Although it looks like we will yet again fail to score with runners on third and less than 2 outs, it's kind of understandable since Murton is always on and we're hitting him so low in the order.

 

Check that: Prior drives in Murton.

I LOVE the fact that our pitchers can hit. :D

HAHAHAHA, what a damn joke.

[YearofDaCubs]

How can you not give Murton LF next year?

[muntjack]

Murton singles up the middle. On an 0-2 pitch.

 

At bat twice, on base twice.

 

 

Why bat him at the top?
