Read back a couple of pages...or go here.

Nice job by Guz to work Crede out and then in.

I'll be eager to read Lou's comments after the game.

Kornerko grounds out to Theriot. Inning over. End of 3, 2-1 Sox. Guzman looked sharp in the third.

His stuff is back so he's got a lot more confidence.

Damn that curve looked good!

Thome flies out to left. 2 out.

Erstad grounds out to Lee. 1 out.

Lee grounds out to Uribe. Three out. 2-1 Sox, mid 3.

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. Meh! Sounds awful. Guzman looks ready to go; I'm not concerned at all.

Podsednik makes a diving catch to retire DeRosa. Two out.

Theriot called out on an outside strike. One out.

I'm very impressed with Guzman. He kept his composure through that very rough inning.

Pods tries to bunt his way on, Lee fields it and throws to Guz to end the inning. 2-1 Sox, end of 2.

Just missed with a 78 mph slow curve.

i agree, i'm a little suprised at how hard he is throwning, is the gun a mile or 2 off or does gooz always throw 94-97? He was hitting that in his last appearance as well.
