Quite simply, I think the Cubs feel that Prior is a pussy, and the only way they can get him to compete with the pain is to get a doctor to clear him.

I think you're right on the first part, but I also think you're wrong on the second...and he really shouldn't be pitching with pain...because when he starts feeling pain, he winds up unable to pitch for a few months.

That's the thing....they never found anything that showed he actually had anything wrong with him. No pitcher is ever going to be 100 pct healthy in the arm/shoulder/elbow region.

A lot of pitchers pitch with some slight pain. It's normal. Prior yanks himself from starts with any slight discomfort he feels.

OK, lets say he stops being a um 'pussy' and pitches throught it, f***s up his arm, goes under the knife and is lost for the year.  Then he'll be called a selfish prick for not having spoken up about the discomfort he felt in March.

I'm not a Prior fan either but c'mon people.

Its pretty obvious that this has been going on longer than in March. The cubs were blaming his setbacks on a cold he had in december. They kept saying that he is coming along slowly. What exactly was he recovering from? I guess we found out. This guy has had problems all offseason.

 

Also I guess DLEE has labrum problems in his left shoulder.

OUCH. Labrum problems are the worst. I've never gotten over mine and it always comes back.

 

On Tribune Live they said the doctor that the Cubs sent Prior to is an elbow specialist. hahahaha Everyone on the show is making fun of the Cubs. :)

They gave Lee and MRI and it said there was wear and tear on the rotator cuff and labrum.

exactly... Teddy Greenstein wrote a smear piece in the Trib afterwards. Here's hoping Greenstien now apologizes and writes the truth about the lies that come out of the Cubs organization.

No public apology, but he a Carroll must have made nice over the phone....

George Offman of The Score was pissed off by Carroll's comments about how the Chicago sports reporters don't even bother to ask tough questions at training camp. Offman had a little s***-fit about them.
