The Cubs need offense, not starting pitching, and right now it looks like they still need to learn the fundamentals of baseball, so I doubt we'll be going after Johnson, though NOMAH would be nice.

Supposedly the Cubs are going to determine today if Prior can somehow make his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Cards. What I heard on the radio is that the doctors could not find ANYTHING wrong with his elbow, and are basically befuddled.

I like a Yankee fan sticking up for a Red Sox player. Kind of makes this thread seem like one big happy family.

So how about this for karma? You laugh at the Cubs about Mark Prior's injury, but it turns out he'll be fine while the Big Skirt's gonna miss 8 weeks.

He's a Sux fan, what did you expect? When Sosa got hurt I could almost understand.

if you've ever wondered why I take such great pleasure in mocking the Sux, join me on a stroll down memory lane. - Sux players take bribes to throw World Series - Sux sell tickets to doubleheader for 90 cents and a disco album - Riot develops, canceling second game of DH -In an effort to fill more seats at Sux games, they announce "Bring Your Dog To The Park Day" -Sux have a rare chance to content in the American League, owner votes in favor of strike -Cubs have exciting year resulting in playoff run in 1998, propelled by former Sux player -Sux fans panic - Sux have the best record in the AL -Sux are swept in first round -All of Chicago is captivated by the thought of both Sux and Cubs in the playoffs -Sux blow it, and are forced to watch the Cubs on TV and root against them Ah, the Sux...

Thinking about it, this injury shouldn't mean anything to Sox fans. One pitcher who beat the Sox rather handedly is just replaced for a pitcher who shut them out for 8 innings.

I wish somebody would explain to me why Sox fans are so obsessed with the Cubs. They watch all our games, read all of the stories about us in the papers, call in to radio stations to bitch about Cub fans..... JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! Nobody laughed when Maggs got hurt because nobody cares about the Chicago White Sox! Sox fans are the most whiny, jealous, bitter fans in all of baseball. They are absolutely the scum of the earth. They are just a bunch of bitches, every single one of them. And then.... A REDS FAN makes fun of us, too? Why?! The Cubs are still superior to the Reds and probably will be for years to come. How did it feel when Griffey went down, huh? How much do you miss the one week when people thought your team might actually comepete this year? Honestly, I've always thought it was sick to make fun of injuries, which is why I have NEVER done it to any team's fans in my life, but apparently our neighbors to the South love nothing more than seeing a Cub go down.

The Nomar/Unit/prospects three-way trade was discussed on ESPNEWS earlier. If this happens, I'll be very very happy.

I have relatives in Indianapolis, and I always dread the annual weekend trip. They're cool people, but there is NOTHING to do there.

I take it you've never seen Alex Gonzalez or Rey Ordonez swing a bat, then?

I haven't seen this talked about yet, but on ESPN 1000 in Chicago, they're talking about prospects to Arizona, Johnson to Boston, and NOMAH to the Cubs. I like it.

I called this Cubs victory.

On Baseball Tonight, which ironically aired this morning, they just said Griffey is out for the All-Star Game and the Home Run Derby. So, who should replace him? Also, Dusty Baker has denied that he'll have Prior come in for long relief for Kerry Wood in tonight's game, which is kind of a shame.

Oh, why, thank you sir.

Man, somebody answer my fucking question.

What about that celebrity softball game? Is that televised?

We'll get 'em tomorrow, and there's still the wildcard. NO WAY will we be swept by the fucking Cardinals. Who are they? Poo-holes? What kind of name is that? These jokesters couldn't sweep The Cubbies if their lives and pretty-boy faces depended on it. Carpenter tomorrow, right? Even if Wood was STILL injured, he's not even in the same league as my guy Kerry. We are gonna shoot these little birdies out of the trees tomorrow, the Cards will have NO chance whatsoever, I guarantee victory. Who's with me? LET'S GO CUBBIES LET'S GO CUBBIES LET'S GO CUBBIES Somebody keep it up.

Apparently everyone has decided to ignore me.

Yeah, INvader, if we cared, we would have posted about it by now, or something.

AS, I thought you said you were all done with Clemens hate.

Ronnie WooWoo is the fucking man! Too bad we had to run into Cy Davis and Sandy Sheets in the same series.

Can we still get Mod Powers by pressing Alt + F4?

Most don't even remember. A lot of people still blame Bartman.
