Hopefully Howry has all that crappiness out of his system and is ready for another good season.

 

He'll be fine. No worries about Howry...

Prior is pissed.

"I'm not going down that road," he said. "I'm under their control until I'm not under their control. It's up to them whether they want me. I'm just an employee."

 

Prior doesn't become a free agent until after the 2008 season, and does not have enough service time to prevent the Cubs from sending him to Iowa. He called himself an employee several times during a session with reporters, suggesting he doesn't believe he has a long-term future with the Cubs.

 

"Look, I'm a controlled player," he said. "There's nothing I can do with what their decisions are, so I'm not going to sit there and fight it. I don't really have a whole lot of control, and until you get in a position where you have any leverage, then maybe you can argue and try to find out what other options there are.

 

"When there are no other options, and they've made a decision, you accept it, move on, and I'm going to play ball." Asked if the demotion has changed his opinion of the organization, Prior mentioned his teammates while avoiding answering the question.

Prior is pissed boo hoo. He didn't earn a spot in the rotation this spring.

 

Who the hell is Prior to be pissed at anyone? Seriously?

 

I have to agree. He hasn't been healthy in a couple years now, he's throwing in the upper 80's, and he hasn't been all that spectacular this spring. He hasn't really shown anything that says he should have a spot on the team.

 

I don't see the Cubs saying something like "yeah we have to pay his check even though he's injured and hasn't pitched in months because we're his employer and we're required to."

 

The Cubs have been more then patient and defended him on all accounts. Get over yourself Mark and quite simply Pitch better....

I'm sure the Cubs werenet happy when he requested an arbitration raise either..

Wouldn't you think that the producers would tell Pleasac to talk a little less and get to the point?

I think they're leaving him alone because he's just temporary.

Funny how Prior's interview (as shown on Comcastsportsnet) doesn't reflect the bitter representation in Sullivan's column! Edited by 98navigator

Sullivan is nothing but a short ugly drama queen.
