The insightful one says the Cubs "made a mistake by cutting their ties to Prior." Why? Because (according to Rogers) ...
1. He's pain free.
2. He would be the No. 2 starter they need behind Carlos Zambrano in the playoffs.
I will let my dog rebut Phil on this one, because even she recognizes that a. Mark ingratefully took a walk on the Cubs and b. Mark is always pain free when it doesn't matter.
More importantly, I'd rather wait on the tooth fairy riding a unicorn than on the Cubs being in the playoffs for the second year in a row with Mark Prior as the No. 2 pitcher. That's a parlay I'm just not willing to make.Labels: Chicago Cubs, Mark Prior, Phil Rogers, San Diego Padres
