Learn from the past

How bad does it look now that Mark Prior went 116 pitches in a 12-2 win? Maybe if Prior was lifted at 80-90 pitches he would of had enough gas left in his tank to get thru the 8th and hand off to Joe Borowski.

We will never know.

Another thing Dusty Baker failed to learn from the past was Kyle Farnsworth. Anyone who has watched Cubs baseball since Farnsworth was brought up should know a couple things right away. Farnsworth is a mental head case incapable of pitching consistently and effectively in close and high pressure games.

Failure to understand the past and your doomed to repeat it.
