Kerry Wood a closer?  

I am a Twins fan and I'm still trying to deal with the loss of Santanna.

JUST THE CUBBIES?!?! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your favorite couch!!!! LOL!

Just kidding. I hope your right about that. I also hope that tonight's performance is not an indication of what we are going to see the rest of the season.

Cheeshater? Does than mean you are a Bears fan?

I suppose I had that coming. hehehe I bleed purple.
You watch that Peterson this year, he will break that record.
If my Vikings could only land a quarterback.
I'll bet after signing Grossman for another year, Bears fans are saying the same thing hehehe

You are the first MyLot member to put my username together with my dislike of The Frozen Tundra Of Lambeau Field and the cheeseheaded nuts that sit there. Well done.

Having been a Bear fan my entire life, I can spot a Packer-hater. Or a Packer-lover for that matter. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I hope you're tight about Wood, 'friend'.

I'm so glad that I stumbled across this discussion, as I have always wondered what was behind the user ID 'cheesehater'. I've actually asked myself: "Who hates cheese enough to use is as an ID?". Now I know. Thanks Guardian!

Oh, and not to worry, Cheesehater -- your secret is safe with me!

I loved Wood when he was healthy. He was a strong hitter and a great defensive player. It was almost like having a shortstop on the mound. I've seen him get the RBIs needed to put a win in his column as well as hit HRs. I am hoping for the best.

$4.2 million, geez, you have to win a lot of games to earn that much. I hope he does.

well his history doesnt entitle him to be a closer, he could do 2 inning relief and then have marmol as the closer...

Welcome to myLot, sdkluber, and I do think many people will agree with you there. The pressure is on!

sdkluber,

Welcome to myLot and sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I wasn't notified that you had do so. Anyway I agree. He really has to prove himself. I would like to think this is a good fit for him and perhaps this will help him stay healthy longer. But only time will tell. So far he has been doing better than I expected him to.

Tell me your just kidding about falling asleep at a Yankees game!!!

Hello Guardian,

Nope! I was snoozing up a storm! I was flanked by trusted friends on both sides, though my one friend was also suffering from a serious case of 'heavy eyelids'.

I've been to several pro football games, and would have never been able to catch a cat-nap, but baseball just doesn't do it for me.

Since you're a Cubs fan, are you familiar with Mushball? Chicago is the home of the game, so I'm thinking that you may have played it before.

Man that is ringing some bells but I can't put my finger on it. Is it a game played in a racquetball court with dodge balls?

Hello Guardian,

Nope, no racquetball courts. It parallels softball, but is played using a ball that is about a third again as large as a softball. And, the ball is much softer -- hence the name 'mushball'. Teams are usually coed, it's played on a softball field, with only the very occassional home-run, and it's a real hoot! I'm not sure how it developed in the Chicago area, though the Windy City is definitely the home of the game.

I played on a city mushball league, here in NM, for years! What a blast!

LOL! Lucky it got to be you!
