He was only a rookie, but apparently that was the best he will probably ever be, and he choked in the biggest stage in cubs history this side of 1908...sorry if that offends anyone or is too harsh on the then 21 year old. As they say, you live by the sword you die by the sword, i'm happy for his overall first year but he came up just a little short in the biggest situation of the year(s). (though alex gonzalez could have helped out just a little) If Prior didn't flat out dominate like he did, we wouldn't have been there in the first place. He came up a little short? That's debatable whether or not he caused the Cubs to lose that night. I didn't see and of the veterans step up and save the day. But Prior had the audacity to get injured. Freaking jerk. Let's burn down his house while we're at it.
