He's almost back!
Towel drill jokes in 3..2..1..
QuoteThe season hasn't even started and they're already falling into the trap. Prior is always on the verge of returning, always just a little bit away from finally putting his health problems behind him and turning the corner on his career. Sure, maybe he'll return in early May, but it's more likely he'll have a setback just as things are looking good, and then another one, and then he'll get frustrated and probably pitch through more pain than he lets on and next thing you know it's 2009 and we're starting over.
It's not surprising that Prior "looks good" at rehab -- that's what he does these days. It's actually pitching in games that Padres fans shouldn't hold their breath for.
He
is a certified simlated pro.
I made the Ratto-digested comment that if this fuckstain pitches before Memorial Day that all of the Prior defenders can eat my ass. Well, Kerm took offense to that and, to his credit, later issued his own mea culpa when he witnessed first-hand Jim Hendry calling Prior out for being a namby-pamby who wanted to weasel out of Chicago in the worst way. Had Kerm not not gone all John "Bulldog" Drummond for that scoop, then this would be the day when I would tell all of the Prior defenders to eat my ass since the whole negotiation with him revolved around the presumption that he'd hardly pitch this year.
I think I hate this guy more than Matt Morris.

Prior weighs in on his latest throwing session:
QuoteMark 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?

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.

Nice going, Mary. Enjoy the beach. Say hi to the waves.
Serves Mary right, the greedy bitch. All Hendry wanted was an '09 option, because it was likely Prior would have nothing to offer in '08. And he was right. Fuck Mary, '03 is a distant memory. She can commisserate with David Clyde, Mark Fidrych and other one-shot wonders ruined by arm injuries. Couldn't have happened to a nicer girl, though!

Nope, and there's a good reason for that.
Last time he was here as a Cub (I'm in Birmingham) a friend of mine saw him at a deli after his appointment with Andrews and got his autograph. He told her his rehab was going well and he'd be back soon. Riiiight.

QuoteMark Prior will not resume his rehabilitation from last year's shoulder surgery for at least two weeks and possibly longer.
Prior learned that he has a tear in the capsule of his surgically repaired right shoulder during a consultation Friday in Birmingham, Ala., with orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
"He'll be re-evalutated in two weeks," said Prior's agent, John Boggs. "... Obviously, you would have to characterize this as a setback."
This thread is ten kinds of awesome.

I watched that a couple months ago. Good catch.
Dr. James Andrews has determined that Prior's shoulder is not even close to handling a throwing program, and according to Rick Wilton's Baseball Injury Report, "there are whispers on the west coast he may not be back until very late in the year, if at all, in 2008."
Fuck that guy.

Don't feel bad. I once watched "Hello Again", which also seems to be an apt title for Prior and Andrews.

I saw that when it debuted on HBO. I remember falling asleep and waking up and it was over. My mother and aunt had watched in its entirety and declared it an unsightly steaming pile of crap. If I'm right it pretty much torpedoed Long's post-Cheers career. She was so certain that she was too big for that show that she left it all behind. Kelsey Grammar knew to milk that baby for all it was worth, didn't he? Frazier re-runs = Steak in ball form.

QuoteSAN FRANCISCO -- Padres manager Bud Black said on Sunday that pitcher Mark Prior will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder this week.
Prior, attempting to come back from major shoulder surgery in April 2007, will have the anterior capsule of his right shoulder repaired by team physicians in San Diego.
Earlier this month, Prior learned that he had a tear in the capsule of his shoulder when he visited orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who performed the original surgery on Prior's shoulder on April 24, 2007.
After that diagnosis, Prior was told not to pick up a baseball for two weeks. At the end of those two weeks, he would be re-evaluated.
Prior signed a one-year deal with San Diego on Dec. 26 for $1 million with incentives that could have reached $3 million.
"For Mark, I can't imagine how frustrated he is," Black said.
Looks like Mark just bought the doctor a new house.

Tore the tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the left shoulder. Had it scoped on Friday. Since my Dr. doesn't know either Prior or Martin Havlat, I'm pretty much golden at this point.

How can someone who hasn't pitched since August of 2006 have season ending surgery in 2008? Don't you at least have to start the season before you can end it? By the time Prior returns to major legue baseball, if ever, he will be a virgin again.

The injury, according to Fronek, is most often associated with a "traumatic events,
usually from a fall."(http://i.xanga.com/Starlix/Prior%20collision.jpg)
I think this is what's wrong with my shoulder too. I tripped over Marcus Giles on the way to the liquor store in San Diego once. Fucked me all up.
Then I tripped over Apex.
There's no way to prove it but I wouldn't be surprised if that collision, and Dusty's galactically stupid decision to leave him in the game, led to that tear they just found.

And, I'm fairly certain that they would've found the tear sooner if it had been a direct result of the Giles incident (and look at the wonders it did for the littlest Giles' career).

Yeah, I was engaging in a bit of puffery (no ghey stuff though). His shoulder has received countless MRIs and goings over by everyone's favorite Dr.
I don't care what they find in his shoulder. I don't care if he really was hurt all this time. I still think he's a vagina.
I bet they find a pair of ovaries in his shoulder.

Former Cubs pitcher Mark Prior, out of baseball after leaving the San Diego Padres organization a year ago, recently started throwing again in hopes of one more comeback.
But we hear that he recently took a line drive off of his pitching shoulder while throwing batting practice to a local team. He was shut down for three weeks although the injury is not considered serious.
I'm beginning to get the impression that my intuition that Prior was Tom House-constructed robot who never actually wanted to play baseball may have been a tad off the mark.

Prior spent last season working back to health in San Diego's organization and is hoping to pitch his way into position for another chance at the Majors....
....Prior, who has a 42-29 career record with a 3.51 ERA, will be used as a setup man with Orange County. Before his series of injuries, Prior had started all 106 games that he pitched in during his big league career.
He's not on their roster (http://www.orangecountyflyers.com/Roster/Index.cfm) yet, but at least there's a nice picture:

So, guys, how did Prior's session go?

Don't mock him. He's only 29. There's still time for him to win 2-3 Cy Youngs with the Cubs!

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to see something other than 2 innings against the Tijuana Cimarrones.
The fact that the Golden Child is now pitching is Yuma, AZ against Mexican teams has got to be seriously humbling.

It was more of a slam against the shitstainers on the right side of the equation. In all honesty, I hope Prior can make a return to Major League Baseball.

I won't replace Murton as my right-that-wrong avatar yet, but maybe after a few more dominant outings from The Franchise.
Also, there was a lot of talk that Prior actually hated playing baseball and never cared that he was hurt or ineffective. I think the fact he's pitching in the Independent League against the Cimarrones from Tijuana probably says otherwise.

Devil's Advocate: maybe he' s broke now and needs the money (riding the prayer back to MLB). And, I've heard some think that he was juicing, evidenced by his "slow-healing" injuries. I mean, he did come out of USC.

All you do when you subsidize something is just get more of it. So, remember that. And think about how that relates to this story.

I'll guess Gord.

The Yankees couldn't get one free agent pitcher who was on the Rangers' payroll this year, so they got another. (http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/12/report-yankees-sign-prior-to-minor-league-deal.html)

Too bad they didn't exercise Kerry's option.

Phil Rogers says they want to re-sign Kerry, and they want to trade for Zambrano. What does it mean if the Yankees want the Cubs 2003 rotation?

Not that I remotely took offense to the original comment (and actually amended my post once I saw the other thread), but you would be amazed at how few people are taking it even slightly easy on me, even when said people know I am having a baby in 6 days and 20 hours. Apparently, it really is impossible get a break.

Thanks! I guess I was just expecting slightly more evolved behavior from family, colleagues and mortgage brokers than from an infant. Although now that I put it that way, I'm seeing that my expectations were probably just too high.

They are. My wife's home and her mother can barely be bothered to help out what with Christmas decorations and trying to update her blog. Fucking shameful behavior. People are the worst. Hope your baby is healthy and well-behaved.

Not that I remotely took offense to the original comment (and actually amended my post once I saw the other thread), but you would be amazed at how few people are taking it even slightly easy on me, even when said people know I am having a baby in 6 days and 20 hours. Apparently, it really is impossible get a break.
You think it's tough now? Wait until you have a screaming baby who doesn't know of an unreasonable request at 2:45 AM.
Good luck on the baby, in all seriousness!
Thanks! I guess I was just expecting slightly more evolved behavior from family, colleagues and mortgage brokers than from an infant. Although now that I put it that way, I'm seeing that my expectations were probably just too high.
They are. My wife's home and her mother can barely be bothered to help out what with Christmas decorations and trying to update her blog. Fucking shameful behavior. People are the worst. Hope your baby is healthy and well-behaved.
So....good time in Norway then?
Oh, look at all the people with one child. They have it so tough.
I'm never having kids. They ruin threads faster than a Kurt Evans photoshop of a Chuckmobile driven by Kurt Evans with Chuck in the sidecar.
On behalf of the HJE shoutbox, I would like to apologize for Yeti's behavior and remind him that some memes are best left in even darker corners of still further fringe websites than this one.

The Yankees couldn't get one free agent pitcher who was on the Rangers' payroll this year, so they got another. (http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/12/report-yankees-sign-prior-to-minor-league-deal.html)
What a happy match.
Too bad they didn't exercise Kerry's option.
Phil Rogers says they want to re-sign Kerry, and they want to trade for Zambrano. What does it mean if the Yankees want the Cubs 2003 rotation?
Arrrgh! (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=6275.msg232796#msg232796)
Anybody here notice the Yankees are turning into the 2003 Cubs?
Who here's read this awesome blog? http://www.kellysux.wordpress.com ?
We've ALL seen that, thanks to CT's sleuthing prowess.
Oh, had CT posted that somewhere already? I don't want to take credit for his find. Good work, CT!

But who is counting? I wish you all the best and a baby that is at least as beautiful as my new grandson.

From the Orange One...
http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kaplan-chicago-sports/2010/12/cubs-moving-towards-to-signing-kerry-wood.html
QuoteThe Cubs, who have a major need for a veteran right handed reliever are moving towards finalizing a deal with free agent Kerry Wood. Wood, who spent the first 10 years of his major league career with the Cubs spent 2010 with the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees and compiled impressive numbers down the stretch for New York as the Yankees qualified for the post season.

The Yankees couldn't get one free agent pitcher who was on the Rangers' payroll this year, so they got another. (http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/12/report-yankees-sign-prior-to-minor-league-deal.html)
What a happy match.
Too bad they didn't exercise Kerry's option.
Phil Rogers says they want to re-sign Kerry, and they want to trade for Zambrano. What does it mean if the Yankees want the Cubs 2003 rotation?
Arrrgh! (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=6275.msg232796#msg232796)
Anybody here notice the Yankees are turning into the 2003 Cubs?
Who here's read this awesome blog? http://www.kellysux.wordpress.com ?
We've ALL seen that, thanks to CT's sleuthing prowess.
Oh, had CT posted that somewhere already? I don't want to take credit for his find. Good work, CT!

Not that I remotely took offense to the original comment (and actually amended my post once I saw the other thread), but you would be amazed at how few people are taking it even slightly easy on me, even when said people know I am having a baby in 6 days and 20 hours. Apparently, it really is impossible get a break.
Wanna make out a little?
No.
Looks like smg has finally figured out the only way to communicate with Yetis and Chads.
Distract the yetis with 12-year-old girls, distract the Chads with the girls' moms.
No.

You think it's tough now? Wait until you have a screaming baby who doesn't know of an unreasonable request at 2:45 AM.
Good luck on the baby, in all seriousness!
Thanks! I guess I was just expecting slightly more evolved behavior from family, colleagues and mortgage brokers than from an infant. Although now that I put it that way, I'm seeing that my expectations were probably just too high.
They are. My wife's home and her mother can barely be bothered to help out what with Christmas decorations and trying to update her blog. Fucking shameful behavior. People are the worst. Hope your baby is healthy and well-behaved.
Your internet friends will always betray you, SMG, but they are easily appeased by pictures of hot girls.

As one of the commentors posted, the Yanks' A team plays in Tampa. That's where the team's front office is located, for some reason I've never cared enough to understand. They want to keep a close eye on their prized prospect. It looks like he put up decent numbers this spring. I hope he can start throwing back-to-back days and stuff and become a useful reliever for the Yankees. (HGH is a helluva drug.)
I'm done being butthurt about whatever happened with him here. He was one of my favorite players of all time for awhile. I remember taking a day off work and driving up to watch him pitch against the Rangers his rookie year. Jeff Fassero took the L in extra innings after throwing a pitch to the screen with the bases jammed. That fuck. I'm still butthurt about that.

We're 16 days from the 5-year anniversary of Mark Prior's last appearance on a Major League mound. Since then, he's been with three other big league organizations and one Independent minor league outfit (for whom he pitched 11 of his 18 post-Dusty Baker professional innings).
Since I last checked in, Prior finally got out to a minor league mound for actual game action last week. (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110713&content_id=21776350&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb)
The feeling here is that he won't see Yankee Stadium this year and will be released. And Jim Hendry will be extended, per Gordo's request, so... meet your new fifth starter!

And I think the fact that he's been bouncing around the minors for six years and battling injuries is pretty amazing for a sissy who supposedly never really cared about baseball.
I'd love to know the real story on his injuries. Given all his ankle problems in spring training 2004, gotta think that he hurt his leg sometime in 2003 and overthrew his arm to compensate. Similar thing to what happened to Sutcliffe when he hurt his hamstring and pitched through it. Ended up hurting his arm.

Mark Prior has dominated with the Boston Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate in Pawtucket, striking out 15 of the first 19 batters he has faced. And he could already be nearing a big-league call-up from the Red Sox.
Good for him. I hope he gets called up and is lights out.
Same here. And now that Hendry's gone maybe Hoystink will right that wrong.
And I think the fact that he's been bouncing around the minors for six years and battling injuries is pretty amazing for a sissy who supposedly never really cared about baseball.
He's a coward. He's gonna choke...

Dempster and Soriano for Prior and rights to have Bill Buckner occasionally limp out onto the field pregame to an adoring fan base ready to move on from the collapse of 1977.

I don't hate him but I hate the idea of him. He was supposed to be the anchor of like two or three World Series winning staffs. At one point I'll be damned if I didn't believe that was going to happen.

THI. I enjoyed Kerm's fake story about the fake Hendry blogger luncheon where Hendry insinuated that Prior was a pussy just as much as the next loser in these dark corners, but if one wants to think that actions speak louder than words, then he's shown a lot. Cy Prior 2013? I think so.

You must have read a different fake story than I did, because I don't recall such an insinuation at all.
All I remember is the claim that Hendry made Prior an remarkably fair offer for a guy whose shoulder was shredded and that Prior scoffed at it.
Entitled dick maybe. But not a "pussy".

QuoteThe most memorable answer was to a question which apparently came from Chris Crocker. Some whiny bitch asked about Mark Prior. I can't confirm or disconfirm whether or not the question-asker actually cried, but he was pretty choked up as he asked Hendry why he did not re-sign Prior. As you know, I was one of the people disappointed that Hendry didn't take a(nother) risk with Prior.
Jim responded with a bitter note in his voice. He made Prior an incredibly fair offer. I say again. He made Prior an INCREDIBLY fair offer. Jim offered him a $1.5M contract for 2008 with the possibility of $5M in incentives. After "paying him $7M to sit in a tub for two years" (Jim's words; not mine), Jim wanted Prior to give the team an option year for 2009, because the medical staff said that pitchers VERY rarely come back and pitch effectively the year after the type of surgery Prior had. I think Jim said the base salary for that year would be around $3.5M with incentives of up to $7M. In Jim's words, Prior didn't think he should have to take a pay cut, nor did he thank Jim or the Cubs for the years and the money they poured into him. As Jim pointed out, Prior eventually DID take a pay cut, as he had to sign for only $1M with the Padres with no option year. I'm converted. Prior is the prima donna bitch that you've all been saying he is. I was wrong, and I should have known better than to root for anyone who attended USC. Jim said if Prior still wanted to be a Cub, he'd be a Cub. So, fuck him.
Jim said that there was one thing he thinks hurt Prior more than anything. He said after the collision with Marcus Giles, they took Prior for all kinds of MRIs and sent him to the best doctors in the world. However, where Prior's injury was was undetectable to any MRI. He didn't mention what a colossal fucking idiot Dusty Baker was for sending Prior to the mound the inning after the injury.
Then, Jim talked about Kerry Wood, saying he wished that Prior was more like Wood. I thought Jim was going to cry. He basically confirmed what we all know: Wood is a fucking badass. Jim said that Kerry came to him and said, "Pay me what is fair." Jim said if he had a team of guys like Wood, he'd be thrilled. He also pointed out that Wood's badassery might work to his disadvantage. In Jim's estimation, Wood has pitched in agonizing pain at least thirty times in his career. Your Kerry Wood love is justified.

Quote from: Cincinnati.com
"Ironically, Baker is often blamed for Prior's injury. Prior went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA and threw 233 innings (including playoffs) as a 22-year-old for the Chicago Cubs when Baker was the manager.
"They always want to blame somebody," Baker said. "It's usually someone [who needlessly beat the living piss out of a young phenom's arm until it finally gave under the strain. You know, somebody who repeatedly sent the 22-year-old future of the franchise out for 130-pitch outings in blowouts, that sort of thing]."
Fuck. FUCK. I swear to God, if I ever meet Dusty there will be nothing and nobody that will be able to stop me kicking him in the balls as hard as I can, because that's what he did - over and over again - to each and every one of us. Fucking cunt.
I don't have a clue what kind of person Mark Prior is today, let alone what he was like 10 years ago. But few people deserve what happened to his potential career. I guess that the new "Butthurt" thread is where we should talk about Baker and Prior.
Eat a bag of dicks, Dusty.
I expect Dusty to just start Prior on Opening Day and then force him to throw every Reds inning until his arm flies off his torso.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but Mark Prior hasn't given up a run for Louisville since April 19.
He hasn't pitched since April 21 (http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=407578), either, and has been on the DL since then, but why be picky?
Christ on a bike. Mark Fucking Prior is pitching middle fucking relief in the fucking International League, and has given up five fucking runs in less than ten fucking innings.
I think I'm going to fucking cry.

Sorry for derailing the thread but I love that the best hitter and pitcher for the Cubs between 2003 and 2011--the most successful run since WWII-- have been and would be (If he ever got the chance) booed upon his return to Wrigley. Both are hispanic, natch.

This describes every WWII movie made between 1942 and 1946, except you forgot William Bendix playing the guy from Brooklyn, and appropriately named "Brooklyn".

Stew clearly forgets the order in which all WWII Movie Americans die:
1. Guy from Brooklyn
2. Guy from Italy who love-a his new home
3. Fresh-faced naive kid from the sticks
4. Hard-boiled drill sargeant
5. The huge asshole who dies at the end, saving everyone else.
Then as John Hodiak puts his arm around Ann Baxter's waist and you see the flag, these 5 dead guys appear transparent in front of the flag.

That's cute. The Cubs went 3-7 (.300) from 1984-1992, compared to 6-12 (.333) from 2003-2011.
QuoteEarned 3 trips to the postseason to 2.
True, but 2003 and 2007 were direct results of injury-weakened St. Louis teams. Milwaukee was OK in 2008, but the NL Central was rancid during that time. From 1984-1992, the Strawberry-Gooden-Carter Mets and the Whitey Herzog Cardinals and the remains of the Mike Schmidt Phillies, and the never-to-be-forgotten Montreal Expos, and the Bonds-Bonilla-VanSlyke Pirates made it consistently a better division, top-to-bottom.

The Durocher Cubs also got fat on bad expansion teams to pump their wins & losses. Fact is, the closest they ever came to the postseason was 1970, when they finished in second, 5 games back. They were also 5 back in 1973, but they were in 5th place in the worst sprint to the finish line ever.

Let's look at it another way. Since the "end" of the Korean War (by 1953, things were back to normal in baseball), the Cubs have played 6 complete decades:

The Durocher Cubs also got fat on bad expansion teams to pump their wins & losses. Fact is, the closest they ever came to the postseason was 1970, when they finished in second, 5 games back. They were also 5 back in 1973, but they were in 5th place in the worst sprint to the finish line ever.

Position for position, 1969 was the best Cub team in my excessively long lifetime. (Including two world Series teams) 1984 was the best pitching staff.

This argument is depressing.
Also I demand that one of these eras take responsibility for the 1998 team.

I hope the Cubs offer a position with the organization. But what happens in your life we hope you and your family the best. Thank you for the thrills you gave us and us who are old enough to remember you always felt that if you were not injured you would have been a Hall of Famer. Good luck in the future and we hope for the best for you
I still don't understand why giving eleven percent is considered special.

It's a good article and I'm glad he's happy and the entire thing is sad as hell, but him saying "don't blame Dusty Baker" doesn't change shit about my opinion. Players always want to stay in the game. Players always want to win, so him saying "I never asked to come out, etc" doesn't move the needle at all. Managers have to save players from themselves and take a longer view of things. He even specifically says "people blaming Dusty for my arm troubles forget the Giles collision", but Dusty left him in the game after that collision!

I'd say what you are describing here is the job of a General Manager. Whatever you think of Dusty, his job is (was) to win as many games as possible in the current season, and if it means pitching the hell out of his best pitchers, well that's what he's going to do. If pitch counts or steps need to be taken, that's for the GM to dictate to the manager, who is his employee.
I will agree the Giles thing was dumb, but for some reason the trainer didn't insist that Prior come out of that game and he eventually took the fall for it.

Ehhh...there are still times when the pitcher abuse isn't even justifiable with that excuse. I mean look at game 2 of the NLCS when he sent Prior out there for the 7th with a nine run lead. The "trying to win as many games as possible" argument there
is to pull him and save his bullets for his next start in the series.

I still remember screaming at the radio for Dusty to take Prior out of Game 2 after the 5th inning. Fucking idiot.
