Sore Wood

Kerry Wood, at one time believed to be the Cubs future Ace starter, will not be ready for opening day for the second straight season. CBS Sportsline writes:

Earlier this spring, he slipped getting out of a hot tub, hurting his ribs. That set him back. Then a triceps injury slowed him down and now a sore shoulder is likely to land him on the disabled list for the 11th time in his major league career.

What they failed to mention is that the hot tub was full of Playboy Playmates tugging at his shorts and urging him to stay in, "for just a few more minutes." Oh wait, that was me. Nevermind.

At this point, Wood's had more surgeries than Michael Jackson. I think the Cubs would be better off by dressing up a pitching machine with a Kerry Wood jersey. It'd be cheaper to maintain and probably a better fielder.
