  1. Not only does Prior pitch four innings of one run ball (would be scoreless if Burnitz hadn't screwed up) He gets a hit too.
  2. They loved his bunt single, and were kind of quiet when he struck out. I think. I was playing music when he struck out.
  3. What is Prior's pitch count at now?
  4. Are you kidding us? Let me guess, you'd trade a playoff appearance for a losing season just so Baker will get canned, right? Brilliant strategy. We're not going to the playoffs this year, barring divine intervention. The worst thing that could possibly happen would be for the team play just well enough to linger on the periphery of the WC race and allow Dusty to keep his job. There is no playoff berth on the line anymore. The worst case scenario is Dusty comes back and we have to watch this garbage in 2006. With a team this streaky, they're never out of it until you are really out of it. By the same token, nothing is garaunteed unless it is mathematically impossible for anything else to happen.
  5. I have two words for you: Mark Prior.
  6. Are you kidding us? Let me guess, you'd trade a playoff appearance for a losing season just so Baker will get canned, right? Brilliant strategy. I think at this point he's proven that he isn't kidding. He's lost it.
  7. All hail our Lord and Saviour, Mark Prior! :D
  8. Still recovering from the shock, eh?
  9. The first sign of the apocalpse. Everybody pack your water bottles now, I hear its hot in hell this time of year.
  10. I think the whole team is nearing implosion. It's Murphy's law out there. I dont' know if its Murphy's Law as much as simply the Law of Averages. Players are returning to their career norms. The level that some were playing above those norms, such as Neifi and Burnitz along with Lee, to an extent, have caused this exaggerated drop. So I suppose that eventually they will have a streak of flawless fielding soon? That has been a big part of their losing streak, and it is definitely not explained by the law of averages. They aren't a great fielding team, but they are way better than this. I don't think the law of averages really applies to te Cubs.
  11. No, the best way to waste runners would be with a triple play. That keeps the opposing pitcher to a minimum of pitches.
  12. My guess it will be close until late in the game, but a mix of terrible defensive play and a bullpen meltdown will give it away. That said, go Cubs, don't screw up!
  13. Burnitz pops up on the infield, and the Cubs squander another opportunity with RISP and no outs. ](*,)
  14. Aramis hits a flyball to the track in centerfield, caught by Griffey.
  15. Lee works a full count but pops up behind second base.
  16. According to Len and Bob, it is blowing straight out. Welcome to the board, stick around, your good luck. Walker hits a flyball single that falls into shallow center, Lawton to second.
  17. Lawton singles on a line drive to left field.
  18. Nomar is playing short stop and batting 5th, I believe.
  19. Well, he said Dusty would try to kinda mix in the corner guys depending on the LH/RH matchups...which means Murton will probably just keep playing only against lefties. Thanks, didn't quite catch it all, just heard him mention Matt. Not to be the Devil's advocate, but I don't see Murton getting a lot of AB's with Lawton/CPatt/Burnitz around. I agree even though he should get more playing time, Murton probably won't get more than 1 start a week. Maybe we can convince the other team's pitchers to pitch with their left hands once.
