Like "a little over a week from now"-soon?

I have no idea, but that would be something for his return to be in Wrigley. They just moved Bard down today or yesterday I know.

I'd be so insanely furious if he got anything other than a mighty standing ovation.

Considering Aramis Ramirez' reaction, I'm pretty sure 99 percent of the people there wouldn't know who he is.

Did Aramis get nothing?

A little booing ( :banghead: ), a little cheering. Nothing strong.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's still murder-worthy. Somebody bring me the fattest meatball they can find.

Prior deserves to make his return to the majors when the Sox come to Wrigley. I won't be at any of the games, but if I was, and he came into a game, I'd give him a standing ovation.

Dang, he's still got it. That pitch dropped off the table.

 

I'll be rooting for him. Hope he gets the call soon.

I have nothing against Prior -- wish him nothing but the best.

 

So I'm not judging you guys -- but why are you rooting so much for him?

Because he was one of my favorite players and the [expletive] backwoods morons in charge completely ruined his career and called him a [expletive] for it.

Probably this, yes.

Definitely what SSR said. How can you not root for Prior? The guy was our future and in his very short time gave us so many awesome moments. Standing up to Bonds alone is worth rooting for him a decade later.

 

I'll admit I wasn't really rooting for him much the first year or two after he left the Cubs because I didn't want him to resume being a Cy Young caliber ace immediately after leaving the Cubs and making us wonder what if. But its been so long that he can randomly become the most dominant pitcher in baseball for the next decade and I would love it.

“I want to be in Boston, just like everybody else in here,” Prior said of his PawSox teammates. “They want to be in Boston. I’m not naïve not to know what that bullpen is doing is unbelievable. I’m pitching here to get to Boston. I want to be there. I think I can help them when I do get there.”

 

It doesn’t matter to Prior which role he’s asked to perform, it’s all about getting back to the majors and being part of a World Series team, something that eluded him during his time with the Cubs.

 

“I want to get to the big leagues, but if I can get to the big leagues and have a shot at a championship, that’s awesome,” he said.

I don't know, I want him to succeed, as I said, but there would always be that nagging "what if" for me. I guess that's why I'm apathetic.

 

I would like to see him pitch at Wrigley though.
