The Cubs' offense is horrible. They are mostly composed of all-or-nothing homerun hitters. McCarthy pitched well that day but the Cubs' offense can make any pitcher look good, hence Jason Jennings' start yesterday versus the Cubs.
Cubs.com is now reporting the fracture...
"Prior's status uncertain after MRI
Exam reportedly shows break after X-ray was negative"

I guess it's true.
Rick Sutcliffe of ESPN said that he thinks Prior will miss the rest of the season if the injury is as bad as ESPN is reporting.
Best-case scenario: only missing the rest of this season.
Worst-case scenario: could be a career-threatening injury.
