The bold pretty much addresses this. There's no massive PR work. No one has to do horsefeathers. And the idea that Kerry Wood might be swinging a big dick around Chicago right now strikes me as funny. Kerry is about to go from favorite son to guy that threw a great meaningless game once. agree to disagree the 20k, winning NLDS, homerun in playoffs and return from injury as solid closer along with stating he felt he owed the team money already cemented his future. The fact that he has so aggressively celebrated this team can only solidify his reputation. He's also been very active in the community pretty much his entire time he's been here, and has moved to Chicago permanently despite having no ties to the area. I haven't really ever heard a bad word said about him off the field either.
