High pitch count affects Prior from continuing no-hit bid

The turn of events to Wednesday's game at Shea Stadium was truly mind-blowing. To say it was another crushing loss is an understatement. Mark Prior (0-4) finally gets back on track and doesn't allow a hit through 5 scoreless innings. Meanwhile the Cub bats' who struck for 8 runs the following day can't produce jack freaking SQUAT! What the hell is this team's problem with run production? They have an offensive meltdown practically every other day.

Due to a high pitch count (103) determined by the coaching staff Dusty jerked Prior from the game and brought in Will Ohman to resume the no-hit bid. If Prior felt okay to pitch further into the game why on earth would Baker make such a blatant stupid decision? To make matters worse after making a solid play at short, Ronny Cedeno has another communication blunder in the shallow outfield and allows the Mets to break up the no-hitter. Of course, the offense won't response in time so the Cubs go on to lose 1-0.

This makes the 11th time the Cubs have been shutout in 2006, the most in the Majors. This is far from pathetic, it's a slap in the face to fans. They don't want to buy tickets and go to games to see this team always lose. No one in the right position is speaking up about this CRAP! Enough is enough, failure of this magnitude should no longer be tolerated. Tonight changes better take place as the Cubs return to Wrigley for a 4-game series with the Cards. Rich Hill (0-4) gets the start in place of the injured Sean Marshall against Jeff Weaver (4-11). It will only be a matter time before Pujols bust out the whooping stiff.
