One can only hope that this is just

a stepping stone to greater things for him.

Off to a good start

He pitched a scoreless inning tonight, striking out the last batter he faced.

Saw one of the Lugnut pitchers doing the 'towel drill'

last night before the game and it was all I could do to keep myself from running over and telling him to STOP!

My hometown Victoria Seals Play in That League

I’ve only been to a couple games this year, but a chance to see Prior, even if he’s just a shadow of his formerly dominant self, would get me out to the yard.

I know there’s a lot of animosity towards Prior around BCB, but I don’t harbour any. Wish him the best.

Good luck to him...

It’s unfortunate the way things worked out for his career. I don’t know if there’s anything left in the arm, but I wish him the best in trying to see if there is anything left.

Ahhh, that 2003 starting rotation.

Sigh.

Does the team...

…have a website or anything?

Why shouldn't

the Cubs buyout his contract. It would put fans in the seats of their lower A teams. It would be a very low risk, possible high reward and a class thing to do.

Interesting idea...

…but one, I got the feeling he doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Cubs again when he left.

And two… I don’t know if he is ready to become a “gimmick.” (or sideshow)

You mean he isn't a sideshow right now?????

He obviously wants to pitch. Sure he wants to make a living, but I give him credit to go through with this.
Just a shame it ended up like this. He stuff was just as good or better than Strausburg has right now.
