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.

WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW, TOM HOUSE??

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.

5 Ks in two innings last outing. 

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.

Juicing slows down the healing process? Seems odd.

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.

Sweet. One more thing I can blame on Pete Carrol.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Um, he got his business degree from USC, so I hardly think money is the issue here.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm the one who started this rumor years ago, and that it's never been repeated by any reputable source.

But it does sound plausible, so it must be true!
