  1. Prior already pitched today against the Double A hitters
  2. Yea really..We never keep out starters in that late...Ozzie is in love with beating us
  3. We had to take the lead there..Come onnnn
  4. Bobby is just worried about getting food after the game.
  5. Mark Prior said this is his next step after his outing today.. What's the next step? "Go home and get some lunch -- I don't know," Prior said.
  6. Mark Prior on Rotoworld Facing Double-A hitters, Mark Prior allowed one hit and struck out four in four scoreless innings on Friday. He did walk two and hit a batter, but it was a small step forward anyway. He hit 90 mph on the gun for maybe the first time this spring, though he was typically clocked at 85-88 mph with his fastball. Also, he got his curve over more often. "[My command] was better," Prior said. "I threw a lot of [breaking pitches] for strikes. That was the goal, to locate it a little better." The Cubs will wait to see how Prior feels tomorrow before scheduling his next outing. If he's slated to work in another minor league game, it'd be a strong sign that the Cubs have no intention of carrying him on the active roster to begin the season.
  7. Hawk, DJ & Sox marketing man Brooks Boyer Really? They aren't pissing me off as much as I remember from last year. Maybe they're waiting for the regular season. The are playing nice-nice because they want that Cubs cross-over cash. Boyer was promoting a game at the Cell with Sammy Sosa in April... I was thinking the same thing. They have done some nice things in the cell, unfortunately they have the area surrounding the park that fans have to deal with. All the cool stuff inside doesn't do squat if your fans gotta dodge bullets on the way to their car. I'm still waiting for the "Free bullet proof vests to the first 100 guests" promotion. Me too.Did they have their " Free crackpipe and syringe to the first 500 guests yet"?
  8. I don't like Theriot playing the hot corner.

It's bascially the American version of Iraq in and around the Cell...Inside your dodging fists and beer cups and outside your dodging bullets. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
  10. Theyre pumping up the cell and trying to get people to go by saying its an expirience youll never forget and its amazing.Theyre trying to get more than 800 people to fill the ballpark this year.I guess they call hanging around with a bunch of crumb bums and getting robbed and carjacked a great time.
  11. Even if it is ST, I hate losing to the Sox..Im gunna go out tonight with all my frineds who are Sox fans and meet a bunch more.Then they make sum dumb comments about beating us or some other stupid anti-cubs comment.I just want to see the Sox lose so they keep thier mouths shut even if it is ST
  12. Well after that hit, looks like Miller has won it
  13. Cedeno drove in a run with 2 outs? What? Whats going on here?
  14. Well, we all know what happened then. No need to belabor it, but this morning in Mesa, Arizona, many miles, many years, and much water under the bridge from that October day, Mark Prior stood on a mound at Fitch Park in front of about fifty fans and reporters and Cubs brass, trying to figure out what went wrong, bringing him to the point at which his career might hinge. But most importantly, the guy who used to look like he was on top of the baseball world had absolutely no mound presence. Constantly wiping his face (it wasn't that hot at 8:30 in the morning!), scuffling around, he looked as if he'd rather have been just about anywhere else in the world than on that pitcher's mound.
  15. Yup..He looks done..This part to dosent look good. But most importantly, the guy who used to look like he was on top of the baseball world had absolutely no mound presence.

  16. I just heard a Lets go Cubbies chant. :)
  17. This is what the guy from bleedcubbieclue.com had to say.Dosent look good for Prior. I'm here to tell you it's unhinged. Prior threw four innings, fifty-nine pitches (only a little more than half of them, thirty-two, were strikes). He walked two, hit a batter, was constantly behind hitters, gave up two hits and no runs to a team consisting of players who will wind up spending this year playing for Tennessee and Daytona (some names I recognized: Dopirak, Fontenot, Spears, Simokaitis). The outs were hit fairly hard, and it was just not very impressive. There weren't any scouts with radar guns -- just one of the Cubs' minor leaguers behind the plate with one. I was able to see it while Jason Marquis (who was the opposing pitcher; he went today in this game because the Cubs wanted Angel Guzman to face the White Sox) was on the mound; Marquis was consistently at 90. But while Prior was throwing, this player (who I couldn't identify; he was wearing warmups) hid the gun so no one but him could see it. It didn't matter. It was easy to see that Marquis' fastball was popping into the catcher's glove; Prior's wasn't. Prior seemed to be dropping down his arm again -- that's a sign of something wrong, even though he and everyone else denies it.
  18. Ozzie needs to shut up..Hes so damn annoying
