He Got Me Again!

Why Kerry, why do you tease me the way you do.  Every time you lead me to believe that this time it is going to be different, and everytime you let me down.  In case you haven’t heard, Kerry Wood has a "slight injury".  On Sunday, he apparently tweaked his triceps because of bad footing on the pitching mound at HoHoKam Park. Wood apparently tried to extend his stride past a hole in the mound and felt it in his arm.

"He had a little strain in his triceps on the posterior, on the bottom, and not where he was cut [during surgery]," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said. "We’ll give him a couple days and let Mark [O'Neal, Cubs athletic trainer] work on him. I’m not anticipating any long-term difficulty. He’ll skip the next couple days."

Just when he was looking so good.  Darn you Kerry, Darn you

Nice to Hear

Ted Lilly is putting a lot of pressure on himself.  He wasn’t too happy after his start Thursday because he reached 75 pitches in 3 2/3 innings. Lilly knows that he has to locate better to go deep into games.  He expect a lot out of himself this season.

"I expect to do something to help this team win," he said. "I think that’s where the pressure is. I don’t know how you ever justify, in my opinion, the kind of money that people make in entertainment in general. There’s pressure and expectations of myself, and I feel my teammates will be relying on me to go out there and give them a chance to win."

I really like the attitude of this whole team.

Everything Has to be Bigger in Texas

Funny to see that two former Cubs with dubious backgrounds have made the 40 man roster in Texas.  Sammy Sosa, the former Cubs slugger has hit his way on to the Rangers squad.  There have long been rumors of Sosa’s steroid use, and he was even dragged before Congress.  Jerry Harriston Jr, who was implicated in the recent HGH scandal, also got a roster spot.  They certainly share a lot in common.

Put on the Red Light
