Stop The Presses!

I’ve got the biggest scoop of the 2007 baseball season. News so shocking that none of our readers will ever be able to believe it. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Here it is: Mark Prior will miss the rest of the season!

Mark Prior

Did you hear they’re going to rename the Skyway in Chicago “Prior-Wood Way”? See, it’s really expensive, and always under construction. (picture courtesy Fox Sports)

Ok, I know the guy is awesome when he pitches, but how often does that happen? As I’ve explained here at great length here before, I’m a White Sox fan, but unlike actual south siders, I hold no ill will toward the Cubs and would like to see them succeed. A good Cubs team is good for baseball, and Wrigley Field is an amazing place to watch a ball game. Stuff like this just makes me feel sorry for the team. Maybe Mark Cuban can save them. (Note that’s an old article. We now know the Cubs are on the block.)

as a Cubs fan, let me just say that no Cubs fan was actually expecting him to be back this season. Or really, ever again.

Mark Who?

This doesn’t hurt them nearly as much as Carlos Zambrano’s inability to function as a sane person while on a pitcher’s mound.

I doubt that the Cubs were even expecting much, considering how he was missing a good 5-10 mph off his fastball from the very beginning of Spring Training.

The stupid part of this is that he’s 26, and we’ll be writing these articles for at least another five years.

I’m still amazed at the free-spending-but-hey-wait-a-second-maybe-we-need-some-pitch-NAH attitude of the Cubs.

Not that my Cards have a rosy outlook, but at least we didn’t balloon our payroll to stay at about .500.
