Counting on Wood to be healthy is `stupid,' says Rothschild

[wolf stansson]

kerry: im too stubborn. also, i think getting hurt and then rehabbing is fun.

He loves that trippy post-op waking up feeling a lot.

Does anyone find this public disparagement a little disconcerting. IT's fine if they feel that way, and they probably should, but to publically say this would piss me off big time if I'm wood. Do it face to face, not to the media. Maybe I'm the only one though.

 

no, i do too. i don't think Larry should have said what he said the way he said it.

 

I disagree. I don't think it's disparaging to anyone. He's not saying anything bad about Wood - he's just saying that, as an organization, depending on a guy who just had shoulder surgery and has a history of injury to be healthy isn't a good way to go about things. It's not a knock on Wood, or an insinuation that Wood won't be able to stay healthy; it's merely stating that counting on it would be foolhardy, to say the least.

It is a knock on wood that he can stay healthy, though. :wink:

Hahaha that was great sulley.

 

And I agree that this seems inappropriate for Rothschild to be saying in public.

[10man]

hmmmmph. i think we all know by now that Wood is no Man of Steel. Now Z on the other hand...

larry: kerry, i know how to teach you perfect mechanics. i think i will do so now.

 

kerry: no, larry, i am too lazy. i just want to collect my paychecks and go to my mansion.

 

larry: but kerry, unless i reveal this magical secret to you, you'll just keep getting hurt.

 

kerry: im too stubborn. also, i think getting hurt and then rehabbing is fun.

 

I think you left out the part about being a gutless choking dog. After all, he did spend part of the season as a reliever.

At least Rothschild isn't living in Lah Lah Land like Dusty.

 

Didn't he say Dusty is a big beleiver in "Fundamentals"? He is living in lala land if you ask me. I'm sorry, I'm starting to be a big Rothschild hater. If he doesn't want his pitchers to be injured maybe he should force more strict workout regimens, don't you think?
