Mark Prior - Someone else's problem

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.

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

The government only pays the interest while you're in school. Afterwards... You're on your own.

So you're under the impression that Prior was a walk-on athlete who paid his tuition through Stafford subsidized loans?

Prior was no headwinder. Those guys are losers and deserve all the bad the world gives them.

So, you're NOT under the impression that Prior was a walk-on athlete who paid his tuition through Stafford subsidized loans?

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.

Then tell me.

If there's one thing Desipio needs more of, it's obscure references to Shoutbox discussions from at least a year ago.

I am trying my best to come up with every obscure shoutbox meme and bring it over here. Don't shat on my work.

I admit it...I smiled broadly to Yeti's reference here.

I'm about 5% sure that Prior wasn't on the juice.

So which meathead sportswriter will be the first to suggest the Cubs look at resigning Prior?

I'll guess Gord.

I wonder what Rob Dibble will have to say about the situation on the next Nats telecast?
