GUESS WHO'S ON THE DL?
No, really, guess.
Could it be Kerry Wood? He felt a twinge in his shoulder after his unimpressive outing as a reliever yesterday. Lou Piniella made no hesitation putting his pitcher-made-of-glass on the DL.
This is a seasonal event, throwing darts at the board that illustrates when and where Kerry Wood will be unavailable, will get no practice, will continue to rust and offer no championship value to the team that seems to think he's worth all that money.
It's not nice to say, but relegating Kerry to the DL and dropping Mark Prior in the minors is a GOOD thing for the Cubs. Why? Because their starting lineup is solid and -- even without Wood and Prior -- their bullpen is deep. It's like divesting oneself of vestigial limbs. They may be nice to look at, and provide some physical balance, but they don't do anything.

Amen to that. I feel so much better this season, and think it bodes well for the team in general, that the two divas are barely getting a mention (though as I navigate to cubs.com, Prior is the first story and Wood is the fifth - snap!).
