People who call him a pussy forget how quickly he came back from injuries in 2003 and 2004. The guy was abused and simply never recovered. I don't care what his attitude is/was like. When healthy, they guy is a first class talent. If he turns his career around, well then good for him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
i had a hard time putting him in my top 5 favorite cubs even when he was dominating...he just didn't seem like a cub. i don't think he ever wanted to be here.
and he's a bit smug and arragant.
but as you said, he was fucking dominant in 03...until

All I know is that there was no other player for a period of 2.5 years that I wanted out there wearing that uniform and on the mound as badly as Prior. I liked the fact that he wasn't the typical Cub who was just happy to be here, coddling fans and reporters, blah blah blah. Anyway, I'll stop now because this will turn into another 20 page discussion on this guy and I don't want that, believe me.
