Sham interview.

 

No but seriously that was pretty good. I enjoyed reading it. :hello:

Kerry values saves moreso than K to BB ratio. Oh well, I still like him.

My man-crush is now reigning supreme. Woody will never get replaced as #1. What a fun guy to go have a couple beers with.

It's best that players don't analyze their stats that much. Obviously he wants strikeouts and avoid walks. But ultimately it comes down to preserving the lead and getting the last 3 (or 4, 5..) outs.

[Derwood]

every interview should be like that. i'd love to hear this guy interview McCain and Obama

probably because that's what will likely lead to a big payday. besides, he didn't say he values it more, just that he knows that particular stat [nitpick].

Q: They tore up Wrigley's old playing surface and replaced it with a new one in the off-season; Were you surprised when they discovered Gary Gaetti living in an apartment beneath third base?

 

KW: Not surprised at all. I was actually more surprised they found all of (longtime Wrigley clubhouse guru) Yosh Kawano's money out in center field. They're still counting it.

 

Tremendous.

I love Kerry Wood, I hope he never plays for anyone but the Cubs. He won't be a HOFer but we will all remember he had HOF talent. Kerry Wood is awesome, I hope we win one with Woody.

Q: Ever look around the clubhouse and go, "Crap, where's Todd Walker?"

 

KW: No [laughs] but I looked around and went, [shazam!] there's Jon Lieber again [laughs]!

 

That actually made me laugh out loud.

 

 

And you don't want a pitcher paying attention to his k/BB rate because then when he walks a guy it messes with his focus.

[wade]

So, a pitcher walks a guy, then thinks to himself 'man, my k-bb ratio is not as good now unless I strike out three guys in a row.'? Hmm.
