Played with my Cubs at the Rockies, All-Star with Custom sliders, and had a CG with Mark Prior. Gave up 1 run in the first, 9 hits, struck out 7 and walked 2. 98 pitches for the game.
This was momentus for me because my Cubs staff has been getting shelled with the exception of Wood, Veres, and Remlinger. Prior was 0-3 with an ERA over 7 heading into this game.
One thing I noticed -- by just tapping the pitch button, you save a lot of stamina. I had a tendency to hold it to get a few extra mph's on my pitches, but now I just tap it and save the extra juice for selected pitches. Prior still had about a 1/4 of his energy bar left at the end of the game.

I think Prior's going to be a stud, might be the Cubbies #1 by June... (those words hurt me as I'm a Brewer fan)... on the subject of just tappin the button, I agree 100%... I found that this works really well when I tried it (CG's with Rusch and Neugebauer)... I only "let it fly" in tight situations... 3 and 2 Sosa up, nothing like challenging him with a 94 mph fastball
