As I said before, I appreciated what he did in ‘03. In fact, he was one of my favorite ball players and I backed him all through those injury filled years. However, my faith in him wavered once he got this ego that the Cubs owed him before he left. He was mad at the Cubs and made it known through the press. If he would have taken the higher road, and not whined so much before leaving, Prior would still be one of my favorite ball players, regardless of injury.

Hmmmm… I don’t remember that. You might be right, though I seriously don’t remember it that way. I remember when he came back this last time and pitched horribly. He started several games and looked terrible. The Cubs wanted him to spend some time in the minors, and he said some negative comments about the organization to the press. Those childish remarks were pointed toward the same organization that spent a lot of time and money on a pitcher that performed for only a season and a half. I believe that was the beginning of the end right there…

Please, correct me if I am wrong though. Thanks.
