ooo..and Carrie Muskat is a horrible wirter, from cubs.com:

 

"It's not that he's going to walk out there and be the Kerry Wood who you saw in '03," Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild said, referring to the fireball-throwing Wood who struck out 266 that season and won the National League Rookie of the Year.

 

 

 

Wood was a rook in 2003? wow..

An excellent article on Kerry:

That's getting me excited for the late lunch I'm taking today.

[badger1679666666]

well with Neifi hitting in the 6th spot. Wood's due for a ND or a loss, despite throwing effectively.

 

The Good news is we can then describe how crappy he is because he didn't get the W.

[hardcorecubfan]

5 2/3 innings; 2 ER; 5 K; 7 H; 3 BB.

1-0

 

agree, but I have 2-0 with 2 solo hrs

[Balsa]

5IP, 5H, 2R, 5BB, 8K's, 98 pitches.

 

I also think he goes 1-3 with a double at the plate.

 

Nah...they'll pull him for a ph after 80 pitches and its his turn up. He only gets two ab's by my logic.

I think you win. The only part you got wrong was the walks, the Ks are right, the IP is right, the runs are right, and the hits are right.

He ended up with 4ER on 5IP and ZERO walks. It stinks he gave up the taters, but I think the no walks is very encouraging. If Woody keeps placing pitches where he wants them to go, then he just had his worst outing of the season by an inning and 2 runs.

He was also getting squeezed badly. The homerun to Zimmerman should have never happened as Wood had him on strike three that wasn't called.

Even though the numbers don't look good, I was overall pleased with how he did, and what you say just adds to it being a good sign. I didn't get home from work until the bottom of the sixth (8)), so I missed his entire start and only had the numbers to go from. However, what you say doesn't surprise me. Just from the few innings I saw, the strike zone seemed pretty inconsistent, particularly the low end. Murton got called out in the ninth on a pitch that was lower than several pitches that were too low the inning before.

[CubbieRich]

A friend was at the game and thought Wood's mechanics were just a little different. He wasn't flying open to first and throwing across his body. He was using his legs a little more and got better angles and push-off. The fastball didn't have the movement he used to have, but that will come.

 

I wish he had a few more games in the minors to build his strength, but considering we're desperate right now-Hendry had no choice.

 

Santo bellowed "Kerry Wood is back in the 1st inning."and then started the usual whining in the 2nd after the HR.

 

Hope The Cities are treating you well.

Somehow, it doesn't make yesterday any better.

 

When do we do one for Prior?
