Mark Prior Injured Again
Former Cub takes line drive off pitching shoulder
Former Cubs pitcher Mark Prior, out of baseball after leaving the San Diego Padres organization a year ago, recently started throwing again in hopes of one more comeback.
But we hear that he recently took a line drive off of his pitching shoulder while throwing batting practice to a local team. He was shut down for three weeks although the injury is not considered serious.
He should call Kerry Wood and they should both just drive over to Dusty Baker's house and kick the shit out of him.Labels: dusty baker sucks, injuries, mark prior

Edinson Volquez, Meet Kerry Wood and Mark Prior.
Dusty Baker has done it again. He's blown out the arm of another promising young pitcher by pushing him far beyond the natural progression of innings.
When people start asking why Joba's missing a few starts here and there to keep down his innings for the year, point them in the direction of Mr. Baker's history of destroying careers.
Volquez is out for at least 12 months, probably most if not all of next season. Prior has never recovered. Wood can no longer start games.
It's just further evidence of why Dusty Baker is the worst manager is baseball.
Yes, he is worse than Ozzie Guillen.
I have no idea why the Reds brought him out of retirement.Labels: dusty baker sucks, edinson volquez, injuries, kerry wood, mark prior, reds

Shock and Awe
Mark Prior is out for the year. Again.
San Diego Padres pitcher Mark Prior will undergo season-ending surgery on his injured right shoulder, the latest medical setback to a once-promising career.
Padres manager Bud Black announced the decision to operate before Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Prior, one of the top young pitchers in the game for the Chicago Cubs just a few years ago, has not pitched in the majors since Aug. 10, 2006.
He had been trying to make a comeback with his hometown Padres this season, but his rehab process was shut down at extended spring training about two weeks ago when he had more soreness in the shoulder. Prior, 27, had surgery on the same shoulder in April 2007 while with the Cubs.
"I can't imagine how frustrated he is," Black said. "It looked like everything was on course. Then to have this happen I'm sure is extremely frustrating. I'm upset for him just because there was such confidence from him about how he felt."
The operation to repair the anterior capsule in Prior's shoulder will be performed at Scripps Clinic as early as this week by team orthopedics Dr. Heinz Hoenecke and Dr. Jan Fronek.
The Padres won't know when, or if, Prior will be able to pitch again until after the operation. Labels: mark prior, padres, things that should shock no one
