Wow, I didn't realize that. This offense has the potential to be one of the best in the NL. Also, if Murton keeps this up, it's going to be very difficult for Floyd to get ABs... Murton is perfect for the second spot in the lineup. It's a good problem to have.

Am I the only one that just saw the total undressing Prior received by the idiot panel on Chicago Tribune Live? Mike North said "Prior is through, he's done" and he's so dumb that he thinks Prior pitching behind Lilly on Saturday means the Cubs have put him in the bullpen. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Then Dan Jiggets said: "they ought to send him to the Sox so Dr Cooper can help him." Are you kidding me?

Len doesn't have any more information than we do (and he's said that on many occasions). I think he was giving his opinion based on things that have happened in the past (MiL assignments). I think the Cubs are hoping Prior is ready by Opening Day but if he isn't they will have someone else slide into the rotation.

Meh! I give it a 5. It's ST, you got time to work on it... How bout this one. CUBS WIN!!! CUBS WIN!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! This has to be reserved for a division clincher or something...

Meh! I give it a 5. It's ST, you got time to work on it... The Russian judge is tough this evening. 8-)

'cause we're competitive. If they're gonna play they might as well win. 8-) Plus, we sat through too many losses last year

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

yes!!!!!! HE'S OUT AT THE PLATE!

nooooooooooo

two!

Who's pitching the 9th? Howry

none now one

none

Ben Howard warming Howry being tested with long counts...

He got that nonsense from Stark.

These walks are driving me crazy

He pitched 3 shutout innings... d'oh. theres still hope for breakdown after the innings stack up. Oh he is a cardinal I am sure it will work very well. His Cardinals career hasn't been so illustrious up to this point... He'll have a great year for the Cards, after which, Duncan will make his arm fall off. lol

nice patience Gio

Soto batting

Why are we going to the bottom of the 9th with a lead? Is this standard in ST? Oops, NM, bottom 8

LOL, let them get excited in ST only to have it blow up in the regular season. That's my hope. :wink:

with the walks, by our pitchers, and fielding errors Lou is going to have a lot to talk about.

As long as it's boring when they bat I'm cool. hey back to back walks
