Prior weighs in on his latest throwing session:

Quote
Mark Prior threw a bullpen session this weekend at Petco Park and came away feeling good -- mentally as well as physically. But he can't project when he'll be able to pitch.

"I'm not alone," said Prior. "There is no rehab precedent for the type of surgery I had. I had a combination of a couple things done. It's about getting healthy. I want to get back into pitching situations. But if I'm not healthy, there are no more situations."

Neither Prior nor the Padres are talking in terms of June 1 anymore.

Is it petty to enjoy this?

No, because it just reinforces that $3.25 million of the Cubs cash was far better spent somewhere else on Reed Johnson.

Disagree.

Quote from: answers.com
Dictionary:
petty
  (pĕt'ē) pronunciation

   3. Marked by meanness or lack of generosity, especially in trifling matters.

This is petty.  I have no generosity of spirit towards Prior and his health is a trifling concern to me.  His behavior has justifiably prompted a tendency towards meanness in me. 

.. then much of my rancor stems from the stupidity I displayed by spending large on very good, scalped tickets to watch Mounsieur "Next Great Future HOF Cub" debut.  So, perhaps, I doth protest to much ... oh, how humiliating.

I think a lot of us are enjoying this.

I certainly am.

If Jim Hendry can enjoy it, why shouldn't you?

Trainer: I think your arm is broken, Mark.
Mark: [Sobs uncontrollably]
Trainer: But don't worry, I'm probably wrong.  I don't even have a license.

I have a clock that marks the hour with different recorded quotations from Homer Simpson.  My favorite is "Feelin' stupid?  I know I am."  That expresses my feeling about waitng for Mark Prior to become the "Franchise".
