#5 \| 201 days ago RenegadeLG (+)	+1 Even though he's in the division I'm rooting for Mark Prior to show up the Cubs and have a good season. Not that they weren't justified in giving up hope, but it's pretty ridiculous that they're giving such a prominent role to Wood who has an equally shaky past. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays healthy, I just want to know the O/U on how many saves they let him blow. His stuff isn't electric anymore.

I agree, but at least Wood showed he can still be a serviceable pitcher. From what I heard, Prior has completely lost his stuff.

I'm a Cubs fan who is very guarded this year Figured I wasn't the only one to call him Dumpster from time to time. Half the time he actually did get out of those innings, but boy was it always an adventure.

#9 \| 200 days ago Eric (+)	+1 Wood is from this area, so I wish him well. However, being a Cardinals fan... I didn't say that.
