Keith Olbermann can go overboard on his “Special Comments,” and this one is no exception. But at the end, Olbermann catches Bush lying about what he said about quitting golf so that mothers of dead soldiers wouldn’t see him playing the game. Olbermann finds a photo taken two months after he claims to have quit. It was bad enough for him to say he was sacrificing golf for these soldiers, but to lie about it?

Prior feels pain in back of shoulder in latest rehab outing

Mark Prior’s Injury Histrory:

2003: Missed All-Star Game due to injuries. Despite the concerns, Prior continued to pitch high counts throughout the season.

2004:Prior was forced to miss the first two months of the 2004 season due to an achilles tendon injury.

2005:Prior’s 2005 season was again marred with numerous missed games due to injuries. After starting the season on DL again, he returned and pitched well in the early part of the season. However, on May 27, Prior was hit on his right (pitching) elbow by a 117-mph comeback line drive off the bat of Brad Hawpe, giving him a compression fracture. This sent him to another stint on the DL.

2006:His bad luck would continue in Spring Training of 2006 when he was put on a slow throwing program. After feeling stiffness in his throwing shoulder, was diagnosed with a strained shoulder. He was placed on the 15 day disabled list, missing the first two months of the 2006 season. Prior was 0-4 in four starts with a 7.71 ERA, until he was once again put on the disabled list July 14, after straining his left oblique muscle while taking batting practice. On August 14, Prior was again placed on the disabled list (tendinitis) for the remainder of the season.

2007: In the off-season, the Cubs reported that Prior suffers from a “loose shoulder” which leads to injuries and means he has to do more conditioning work.Prior missed the rest of the 2007 season after going through season-ending surgery.
