Wood as closer

[abuck1220]

congrats on predicting an arm injury after he already suffered like seven of them. you're like a doctor or something.

 

**rolls eyes** yup no one was saying things like that in 1998, they were to busy sayding "DAMN that kid is good". In my mind that 20K game was the single greatest dominating pitching performance ever. If it wasn't for Kevin Orie's ineptness, this would have been a perfect game/no hitter. The simple fact is that the mechanics, bad or not are what made Kerry the dominating pitcher he was. Most people will remember 1998 for the homerun chase, I'll always remember it for Kerry Wood. That game is burnt into my memory more than any other single baseball event in the history of the game. Its the kind of game I waited a lifetime to see and will probably never see again. I saw it as it happened, live in my living room. You want to crucify Kerry Wood for his poor mechanics? Go ahead I guess if it makes you feel better, but just about every time I watch a baseball game I hope for something like that game to happen, and I thank God for that day in May of 1998 when I saw pitching perfection. No matter what happens to Kerry Wood for the rest of his career, he's given me a gift that no other Cubs pitcher can ever touch.

 

why did you quote what i said? it has nothing to do with what you wrote.

Justin Verlander, Jake Peavy, and Jered Weaver are going to have some arm problems as well.

 

i'll raise you one and say that almost all pitchers are going to have some arm problems.

I really don't see a need for you to post that. I guess you are trying to be funny or something.

That is true. Every pitcher has a slight tear in his rotator cuff.

*shrug* guess I misundertood what you were saying. I thought you were saying its easy to predict an arm injury after they have already occured. To which I had said yeah, no one was predicting him to have a bunch of injurues at the time. Oh well sorry I guess. post still fit in with the general theme of the conversation.
