If he's out for the year then the Cubs are dead. Without much of any doubt. Prior is one of the best pitchers in baseball. This year:
Cubs in Prior's game: 7-2
Cubs in all other games: 15-22
Almost 1/3 of their wins in less than 1/5 of their games. Looking similar to 2003 when he also had a very high %. Like 23-7 or something.
You can't replace a Mark Prior. Whoever they replace him with you'd be happy to go .500. Say 12-12. Prior would be probably be around 17-7. If Prior's out for the season, that's 5 games the Cubs don't have to spare.
