I keep thinking I should go and watch him. He plays his home games 5 minutes from where I work (and at the stadium my college baseball team plays at).

Do it.

 

I'm rooting for Prior.

And far too often, he was throwing 120 pitches or more, the concept of protecting a young arm by monitoring pitch counts not yet a science accepted throughout baseball.

 

It should say not yet a science accepted by the Cubs then-manager Dusty Baker.

I'm actually very grateful that our manager is Ozzie Guillen and not Dusty Baker...

I was never really a fan of Prior, but that was mostly because he was on the Cubs and i was jealous the Sox didn't have anyone with that kind of skill.

 

But now, i wish him the best of luck in returning to the majors; the guy went through so many injuries, and whether it was more mental or not, I think it would be cool to see him return to baseball.

No team in baseball had a 1-2-3 the caliber of Wood/Prior/Zambrano back in '03. I envisioned a Braves-like run. Prior's second half of that season and playoffs (up until Bartman) was as dominant a stretch of pitching brilliance I've seen.

Surprised it wasn't the Orioles. Just reunite the squad.
