Prior's Brilliance

"I dislike the Cardinals so much that I will not even root for them. I hope that Houston beats their brains in and just sends them all the way back to whoever is in fourth place now." - Mark Prior

Brilliant! Goading the Cards into trying to win! This guy's a better motivator than Tony LaRooooosa.

Reb Bird Nation, a Cardinals' blog, totally eats up Prior's comments and thinks he doesn't want the Cubs to win. Well, that's the kind of cogent thought you get from a fan base that held 9/11 type memorials for a guy who played in only 82 games for them.

Prior may supplant Sandberg as my all-time fave Cub by, oh, 6PM tomorrow.
