He is a damn fine pitcher in fact. The problem is that Dusty Baker had him on a pitch count of like 200 while with the Cubbies. That will destroy any arm. Just ask Wade Miller, Matt Clement, and Kerry Woods (All who have had promising careers ruined by Mr. Baker and his stupidity) <BR/><BR/>Luckily for Prior, Bub Black is a pitcher's manager. Prior will not be mismanaged, hopefully.SayHey Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721909040778832609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-8533064361018579612007-12-28T12:04:00.000-05:002007-12-28T12:04:00.000-05:00I think we should call the Padres the Dads instead...I think we should call the Padres the Dads instead of the Fathers, but Fathers reminds me of a running joke we had in law school about being someone's biological father. Oh, the good times.<BR/><BR/>The move to the Padres could work wonders for Prior.

They lost there 2 best relievers. At 10million for year tho, I would have passed. Good thing it was only a 1year deal<BR/><BR/>On curses, your right. It was my poor and pathetic attempt to be the villain and possibly get a new curse going. This team is to good and Red Sox nation is to distracted with their success. Makes me ill!!<BR/><BR/>I dont think Prior will ready to pitch in the majors until May. They do have a good rotation as is. When he is ready to go the Fathers will be that much better.SayHey Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721909040778832609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-86323560351867446302007-12-28T11:22:00.000-05:002007-12-28T11:22:00.000-05:00The Brewers should have taken a drop simply for si...The Brewers should have taken a drop simply for signing Gagne. What a bonehead move.<BR/><BR/>On curses: they begin when a team really starts taking them seriously. I think the Curse of the Bambino officially ended whenever Kevin Millar and Johnny Damon stopped giving a flying shit about anything but playing baseball. That said, I think that there are curses on the Cubs, obviously, and a curse on the Yankees right now.<BR/><BR/>Prior: what exactly is the state of his arm? Last I knew, he hadn't even thrown off a mound yet.

If everything goes well, he could be back to his 18 win self. <BR/><BR/>I dont see why the A's had to rebuild in the first place. They had those cheap key ingridients to win. All they had to do was find supporting players to compliment them. Now those ingridients are all gone.SayHey Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721909040778832609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-34560671992087884522007-12-28T09:48:00.000-05:002007-12-28T09:48:00.000-05:00I dont hate the Orioles.

Thier front office has a knack for getting solid minor league talent. But it takes a year or 2. It took them 2 years for the results of the Josh Beckett trade to pan out. This year will be no different. <BR/><BR/>I expect they will be alittle higher up in the PR in 2009.SayHey Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721909040778832609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-39350884309635352432007-12-28T09:47:00.000-05:002007-12-28T09:47:00.000-05:00Yes, this is what we call a "rebuilding year" unti...Yes, this is what we call a "rebuilding year" until these young kids who no one suspects blow everyone awayJack Gonzo, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05402240056740725609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-86039924498446258052007-12-28T09:45:00.000-05:002007-12-28T09:45:00.000-05:00also I think the phrase "A Healthy Mark Prior" sho...also I think the phrase "A Healthy Mark Prior" should NEVER be used in any serious consideration of a team's ranking EVER :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Dusty Baker!Dewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502783621058436874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-21859229099644018672007-12-28T09:40:00.000-05:002007-12-28T09:40:00.000-05:00Regardless of how much you hate the O's, I think y...Regardless of how much you hate the O's, I think you underestimate the Marlins man...<BR/><BR/>Every year they are in this position where they apparently have no solid talent, but they bring up a ton of raw younger talent and are very successful.<BR/><BR/>Think of them as the old Montreal Expos of the mid to late 90's.Dewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502783621058436874noreply@blogger.com
