Sorry, but I just find the lifting of Prior to be ridiculous, despite a
pitch count of 129. Given Borowski's Rod Beck impression that he's been
doing lately, Prior was the best choice unless his spot had come up with
runners in scoring position or unless the Cubs had scored a few insurance
runs. The guy had just thrown 6 straight stikeouts.

The Dusty magic is over for me now.

prior told dusty that he was tirwed going into the 8th

there was no way he could pitch the 9th
