kerry wood

Ok Cubs fans...let me hear ya.

I love, love, love Kerry Wood...BUT........in my opinion (humble as it may be) I think Carlos Marmol should be our closer. Kerry can be the set up man. And it's about time Jon Lieber gets a start, as...

Got Away With One

Man was this game a nail biter at the end.  Thank goodness we have a clutch hitter like Fukudome on our team. Ryan Dempster pitched pretty well last night despite only lasting 5 1/3 innings.  He...

Looks like what the Chicago Cubs have done for pitching injuries (see Exhibits A and B), the St. Louis Cardinals continue to do for substance abuse (see Exhibits A, B, and C). But Rick Ankiel did hit...

Roster Runaround and Kerry’s Curse
