Wood to have surgery

http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20050829&conten t_id=1188597&vkey=pr_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

guess this means that the Cubs have finally figured out that a playoff bid is a longshot. i personally think this is a good idea, as it gives kerry more of a chance to heal, plus opportunities to develop our younger BP pitchers in the majors.

I agree
I was surprised because the surgery is in two days.  But I'm not that surprised because I knew they were going to make a decision.

when you type bp does that mean
"bullpen" or "batting practice"?

And...
Murton is coming up.  Which means that Al's and many others' wish to have only 11 pitchers will be granted.  Unfortunately right now that move is pointless because they don't need a hitter as much as they did before.

i meant bullpen. i don't think that kerry having surgery will affect batting practice at all. =P
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

it was gallows humor
often it seems like our "bullpen" is throwing "batting practice" for the other club.
