  1. Bold Prediction! Prior will not be our 5th starter and will open in Iowa.
  2. Good god I'm hung-over... Blah, blah, blah... Go Cubs...
  3. I would just prefer to see Pie split time with Jones while Floyd or Ward act as 1st PH out of the dugout. And with Pagan in the mix someone is going to rot on the bench anyway. Since Ward plays 1b, I think he actually fits better than Pagan or Floyd. No. No. No. Pie needs regular ABs. His bat hasn't caught up to the rest of his game and it's not going to get better with irregular ABs in Wrigley. Pie splitting time is the worst idea.
  4. That's getting about as old as the Towel drill joke...
  5. "Get your pencil's and scorecards ready"
  6. Pie is really getting a good look now...
  7. Until Prior proves otherwise he's going to have his doubters. Which is pretty much everyone outside the org. And yet Miller doesn't get the same treatment, IMO. I certainly have my doubts about Prior's chances, but I'm not going to put much emphasis on one spring training appearance. Miller gets a little more of a free pass for 3 reasons 1) He's not as highly regarded as Prior is-so his gain or loss is not as much of a change to the Cubs season, therefore there is less intrigue about if he is healthy or not. 2)He didn't have his success with the Cubs, and didn't get hurt with the Cubs-Prior's injuries have put a lot of pain into Cubs fans who remember 03 and how well he pitched, and so there is an inherent emotional reaction at this point to think that he always will be hurt the way he has been. Miller is just a rehabbing pitcher who doesn't bring up those same sorts of emotional reactions. 3)Miller went out and pitched at least somewhat effectively his first appearance in ST-Prior didn't. Edit: BTW, I'm not writing Prior off yet-I'm just trying to explain why Miller gets a little more slack than Prior does with most people. Yes, yes, and yes...
  8. Yeah me too. But worry not, the weekend is coming, and as the season draws near, more games will be on TV. Not good enough. Basketball has soured on me over the past 5-10 years so I need a sports fix now. well, hockey is the best sport on ice. Aren't they still on strike?
