Cubs lose 4-3. 2 HRs by Dunn

This is what Paul Sullivan said: It was Sullivan who asked Prior if he wanted to be traded (as seen on Comast Sports Net). That is some good info...I do however apologize for starting this thread. dont be, someone else would have

Roy Halladay, Michael Young, Chris Carpenter, Vernon Wells, CESAR IZTURIS

in a study by Baseball America. faith in wilken... http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/majors/features/263616.html http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/prospects/features/263613.html http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/majors/features/263614.html the bottom two are pay articles. Since 1995 the cubs are fifth. they then did it splitting up hitters and pitchers. the cubs ranked 27th in developing hitters, and first in developing pitchers. its not even close on the pitching side, theyre way ahead of second place oakland.

He said that Marquis has been "outstanding." That should make this thread an atomic bomb.

Just an FYI. On ESPN 1.

It all boils down to this. Let Prior pitch in AAA with something to prove. If he stays healthy and improves, he will earn his way back onto the club. I don't care about anything else, concerning prior. . im not talking about prior in aaa. im not a flippin [expletive].

i still cant believe this

this argument is embarrassing.

you dont get to this level if youre 'soft'

Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

big adam .265/.400/.650 fitty homers.

well all this tells us is that prior doesnt listen to hawthorne heights and wear eyeliner.

Naked eye? Wow I've heard it all.

well if i had no avatar it would still be hard for you to hear a post here.

Does this actually mean anything? Or are you just making something up? What? Do you think I'm a spider or something? Of course I'm making it up! It's an educated guess based on the past.

Cedeno over Izturis please.

My spider senses tell me Mark didn't throw over 90 MPH. He hit 90 a couple of times.

i got a zillion of (bad) updates at once

and no more pitches are loading for me. prior must have died

there is no reason to be concerned about lilly either. he's had a great spring so far and his new found sinker seems to be effective. gotta love the 4 bb and zero hr's in 19 ip. i think he will prove to be a very solid starter for the cubs. i never said i was

Rich Hill has had, in my opinion, a great spring. He has a 16:0 K:BB. Id be more concerned with Ted Lilly than Rich Hill.
