That sounds more like a slow divorce.

Yeah.
Too bad he couldn't keep seasons like that going. I'd be more worried about the Cubbies if they had Z and '03 Prior.

I think we know exactly how it feels, since we, too, had a young stud on top of the world with unlimited potential who fell victim to a very unfortunate series of events.
His name, of course, is "Ankiel."
Now granted, that is only one dosage but...

Am I wrong, or did the Twinks pick Mauer before he because they thought Mauer was more 'signeable'.
If so, what seemed really stupid has really paid off.

Really sucks that Prior can't stay healthy. Almost worse that some people think that it's because he's some sort of pansy.
