Goodbye Kerry Wood

With the Cubs signing Kevin Gregg yesterday, they made it perfectly clear that Kerry's services or lack of services are no longer needed. Kerry this is for you buddy...

Goodbye Kerry Wood (sung to Goodbye Norma Jean)

Goodbye Kerry Wood

Though I never knew you at all

You ruined my team with your injuries

While those around you worked

Injuries crawled out of the woodwork

And they whispered into your brain

You fell off your treadmill

And onto the DL once again.

And it seems to me you wasted your career

Like a fart in the wind

Never knowing who to run to

When an injury set in

And I would have liked to love you

But I was just a fan

Your career burned out long before

You ever did anything.

Goodbye Kerry Wood

Wood Lands on DL AGAIN!

That's right Lou! Our boy Kerry Wood is on the disabled list once again. This time for a blister on his throwing hand. Wood has not pitched since July 11th.

Now I have had a few blisters in my time and none were quite serious enough for me to miss any time off my job. I have heard all the folks say that it is quite a serious injury because it could get infected and develop into a bigger problem. Give me a break! He pitches one inning max occasionally. He is not needed every single night! What kind of doctors and trainers are working on this? Have they not heard of Neosporin?????

What is going on with the players nowadays? Does anyone remember George Brett playing with hemorrhoid pain in the 1980 World Series? He got though 6 innings of game 2 and had to have surgery on them the next day. In game 3 he was playing! And he hit a home run! Baseball needs a few more warriors like Brett.

So for now, I have hung up my Wood jersey in my closest, along with my Mark Prior jersey that is useless since he went to San Diego. I got on Ebay tonight and ordered up an Alfonso Soriano jersey. He just got off the DL so it should be wearable for at least a month or so. I hope!
