Another PRIOR shoulder exam!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

90% of 15 million is a lot of money. I'm not saying it doesn't suck for him, but I also wouldn't say that his lifelong dream has exactly crumbled when he's set for life because of it.

 

actually it is probably more like 40%, unless prior is exempt from paying taxes like the rest of us.

 

40% of 15 million is still a lot of money for playing a game.

 

Speaking as someone with absolutely no experience having money, I still suspect people overrate it's effects on happines. I've never perceived that being rich makes life any more fulfilling than otherwise.

From my perspective, it would be the experience of being a major leaguer as a young man that would greatly enhance my happiness. When I was young, I had the pleasure of playing music on the Sunset Strip, at the same clubs that bands like the Doors & Van Halen played at. It only lasted for a few months, but I wouldn't exchange those experiences for anything. I didn't make a dime, and I couldn't give a damn. It was awesome, and a rare experience.

 

For a guy like Prior though, who was expected to be a top MLB pitcher for years and has now seen that greatly diminished, I imagine his perspective on it is very different.

It just makes it easier.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a waverunner. And have you ever seen somebody sad on a waverunner?

Yes. When they go too close to my dock and get taken out by my potato gun.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

is he really good looking though? I always thought he was hilarious looking, but maybe he's just not a hat guy

 

I dunno, I thought he was classically handsome.

 

we should seriously debate this

 

i thought his neck was too long and his ears were too big for him to be called classically handsome. i think a pair of spectacles would have done wonders for him, plus he should have grown his hair out

and he's got a puffy nose

[WilcoFan]

Every experience I've had around him, and everyone I know who had experiences with him described him as a jag, so now that he's not on the Cubs, I have no problem reveling in his injury just a little bit.

 

is your own life really so pathetic that you need to revel in other people's misfortune? maybe if you had more going on in your life, you would receive pleasure from things other than the professional and health-related setbacks of complete strangers.

 

Yes it is. I have nothing going on in my life, and therefore I revel in the injuries of professional baseball players. Please help me, king of the internet message board.

 

 

 

Or maybe you and your arrogant and pathetic personal attacks can just shove it.

He's definitely the Mark Prior of NSBB.

Sorry, I thought for a brief second I cared about what you thought of me. Must have been acid reflux.

two whole days and that's the best zinger you could come up with?

 

weak.

Prior's agent John Boggs confirmed Friday that the right-hander has a tear in the capsule of his right shoulder, the shoulder he had surgery on in April 2007.

 

Prior had an examination and an MRI exam on his shoulder on Wednesday at the office of Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.

 

Andrews is the doctor who performed the original surgery. The result was a torn capsule, which will keep Prior, 27, from throwing for at least two weeks.

 

"It's a setback, but in terms of how big of a setback, we won't know until you know how [Prior] is feeling," Boggs said. "We just hope it's not a major setback.

[Post Count Padder]

Agent John Boggs said Friday that Mark Prior was found to have a tear in the capsule of his right shoulder.

 

Prior won't undergo another surgery following his latest setback, but he will take a couple of weeks off from throwing. "It's a setback, but in terms of how big of a setback, we won't know until you know how [Prior] is feeling," Boggs said. "We just hope it's not a major setback." Even if everything goes perfectly, Prior probably won't be an option until after the All-Star break. It's looking less likely than ever that he'll contribute this season.

Maybe he should seek another profession.
