Surprising news

Both Prior and Wood should just retire and quit torturing Cubs fans.

" Cubs' Wood, Prior may start season on DL By The Associated Press Wed Mar 21, 1:58 AM ET Kerry Wood and Mark Prior could start the season on the Chicago Cubs' disabled list. Wood, coming back from a torn right rotator cuff, threw 25 pitches off a mound Tuesday at the Cubs' spring-training complex in Mesa, Ariz. On March 11, he strained his right triceps while pitching against Milwaukee, and it's unclear whether he will be ready for the start of the season. "Until we get him back out there and get him on a schedule, you just don't know," pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. "Hopefully he could, but it has to work for the team and it has to be in his best interests." The 29-year-old Wood was just 1-2 with a 4.12 ERA last year and has a 12.00 ERA in three spring training appearances. If he's on the active roster, it most likely would be as a one-inning reliever. The 26-year-old Prior was 1-6 with a 7.21 ERA last year when his season was cut short by a strained right shoulder. He is 0-1 with an 18.90 ERA in two spring training appearances, allowing seven runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks. "How many innings has he pitched?" manager Lou Piniella asked Monday. "You need 25 or so innings. In fairness to the person, is he going to be ready?" "

Opening Day! 2:10 at Cincy, ESPN2

4/2/2007 10:37:00 AM

zomg and I'll be at work... GO CUBS!

4/2/2007 10:49:33 AM

I'm so excited about the Cubbies this season.

If our big three (Soriano, Ramirez & Lee) stay healthy, the sky is the limit.

A little help from the pitching staff wouldnt hurt at all though.

Oh, and I cannot wait for Ol' Lou to blow a gasket and go ape shit on an ump or two.

4/2/2007 10:50:08 AM

so I picked up Matt Murton in my fantasy league...yall think he might have a nice season?

I also picked up Ted Lilly since my autodraft picked Prior...he was a pretty solid starter in Toronto wasnt he?

Someone on the cubs told Soriano that theres a brick wall behind that ivy right?

4/2/2007 11:46:54 AM

Is the first game of the season going to be on WGN?

4/2/2007 3:59:24 PM

Zambrano is killing my fantasy team right now.

4/2/2007 4:00:55 PM

cubs lead 4-1 at the Reds in the top 8th! Go CUBS!

4/4/2007 9:17:33 PM

Being a State fan and a Pack fan is like the perfect marriage, you have to really tough to go through the abuse these teams can put you through in a season.

4/4/2007 9:18:58 PM

i too have trouble being a state and pack fan

GO CUBS GO

4/4/2007 9:53:42 PM

4/5/2007 12:38:54 AM

6 runs in the top of the first for the cubs, they are killing this pitcher

4/6/2007 8:39:53 PM

^to bad "that pitcher" is on my fantasy team

Rich Hill is also on my fantasy team so it's cool.

4/6/2007 8:48:04 PM

how come none of these cheesedick brewers fans will return my texts???

Rich Hill is unhittable, for a game, then everyone remembers his movement and his ERA climbs to 6ish. Hopefully, this is the year

4/7/2007 1:24:25 AM

Should be a good game today. Zambrano/Sheets on WGN @ 1:05 EST.

4/7/2007 11:44:41 AM

a good game indeed cubs 6 - 2 in the 7th

4/7/2007 2:59:18 PM

Cubs 6r-11h-0e
MIL 3r-5h-0e

W-Zambrano (1-1)
L- Sheets (1-1)
S - Dempster (2)

wade miller today

will he get back to productivity or have another shitty short year?

4/8/2007 1:46:45 PM

shit this game isn't on WGN? shit! I gotta bad feeling cubs are going back to .500 after today. By saying that I probably jinxed them into a win

4/8/2007 1:50:47 PM

yeah its on fox sports - wisconsin up here

this brewers pregame show is brutal

4/8/2007 1:59:13 PM

^^ Jinxed the jinx, sadly

Home Opener tomorrow vs. Houston. Opening pitch at 2:20 on WGN, festivities before then.

4/8/2007 7:14:34 PM

Zambrano with a HR. 4-0 lead (Bottom 4th) at the Friendly Confines vs Reds

4/13/2007 3:32:59 PM

wait, so the cubs pitcher has homered TWICE in TWO at bats?!?

WTF

^^^^ almost every single reds game is blacked out in our area for some reason, MLB extra innings didn't have any reds games on last year

[Edited on April 13, 2007 at 3:35 PM. Reason : ]

4/13/2007 3:34:23 PM

don't call it a comeback

reds ftw

4/14/2007 2:52:27 AM

4/17/2007 6:25:03 PM

ah fuck the cubs lost the extra innings game ah well

4/17/2007 6:47:59 PM

And again, lost in extras... Jeez Cubs, c'mon

4/24/2007 1:23:48 PM

god that game blew ass last night

4/24/2007 1:35:57 PM

First few innings were good. Glad to see Soriano back and hitting well

If only games were over after 7 innings

4/24/2007 1:38:05 PM

Zambrano has been a friggin Roller Coaster so far this season.

kinda frustrating.

4/24/2007 1:43:44 PM

My same ole' Cubbies, I'll never stop loving em though

4/24/2007 2:41:24 PM

rich hill is on the mound tonight who has been a fantastic surprise... 0.41 era

4/24/2007 7:48:28 PM

he's been impressive...i remember watching his first big league appearance thinking his movement was sick

this isnt the same ole cubs because i dont think this team is garbage...they just cant figure out how to win yet

4/24/2007 8:23:50 PM

aka, there's always next year

4/24/2007 11:11:12 PM
