  1. I'm a Cubs fan and will support them until the end. But obviously its not easy all the time
  2. Prior is good, even the best fall down sometimes. Wood was better in 2003, injuries and changes in mechanics have led to him failing to reach his lofty expectations. Fluke? No....but extremely lucky? Yes. Play that season 100 times, we make the playoffs maybe 25 times, we make it to the NLCS 10 times, we play game 7 3 times
  3. He pitches for the Cubs... I am about done with this team. I wonder if I can get a refund on my MLB Extra Innings... I am far from done with this team. Honestly, if we lose enough to lose all hope of the playoffs, thats when the fun begins. We get to see the rookies playing, and there are no expectations to win. Obviously its not the fun of a pennant race, but c'mon a Cubs fan has to be used to still finding a reason to follow them even when they are terrible.
  4. I think Dusty expected the Cubs to get 7 next inning so Prior could get the win :roll:
  5. 6:30 CST...looking forward to that Smoltz/Williams matchup are we?
  6. Looks like we'll be in 4th place after this day Having visions of 1999 here
  7. Priors pitch count approaching 100 Can Dusty get fired in between games?
  8. Is it 4:20 yet because Prior is getting lit up
  9. Well when you have scored 1 run this series in the first 23 innings against starters with 5+ ERA
  10. 2-0 I'm giving up on this game and going to Best Buy
  11. Dammit Todd....walks don't score runs *sigh* [/Dusty]
  12. Yup he shouldn't have throw pitches that would be hit towards Dubois
  13. PC Check Ramirez - 4 IP 42 pitches Prior - 3 IP 54 pitches
  14. Did Dusty really say he was using yesterday's lineup for game 2?? Hello 8 game losing streak
  15. Dusty closer to getting canned 1 Cubs salvaging the season 0 Who do I cheer for?
  16. So who is going to represent Japan in the HR Derby....Ichiro??
  17. I don't see Maddux being wanted. Rising ERA's his last 3-4 years, getting really roughed up as of late, and pretty much a given for $9 million next year. Maybe SD would take him because of their ballpark that doesn't allow as many HRs. But the way Maddog has been pitching I'm not sure that Petco is large enough to contain his misguided curveballs.
  18. TV Station? I really hope that the game doesnt start and stop in like the 3rd inning for rain leaving the rest of the game to Mitre and Co in the pen
  19. The Marlins have one more series in August (I think 9-11) at Wrigley, and I believe the Braves still have to visit Wrigley again. Wouldn't mind 84-85 home games this year :)
  20. When a player's manager has his players talking critically behind his back, he's pretty much lost them and needs to go
  21. Now Corey fly outs are being applauded when they get to the OF? :)
  22. "Wait til next year" Spoken by many, immortalized by Harry Caray
  23. If that's true thats just sad. We could have gotten the world for him in 2003
  24. In that same Trib article, it said that they wouldnt have Hairston play LF because it was too hard of a position to learn or something.
