Wood to have bullpen session
The Tribune reported today that Kerry Wood was scheduled to have his first bullpen session since spring training. With the rain, it's unclear if he got it in today or if he had to wait until tomorrow. It's possible he did it indoors.
Anyway, I like Kerry a lot and hope he makes it back. The Tribune says he's eyeing an early-August return after a minor league rehab. However, given his history, I doubt he'll get through the minor league rehab without re-injuring himself.
I wonder if he's one more injury away from announcing his retirement at age 29. More and more, he's looking like this era's Mark Fidrych (although he did have a few effective years in the majors, unlike Fidrych, who only had one. Fidrych's one year, however, was far better than any of the healthy years Kerry had.)

Why do people like Prior better than Wood?

Backwards, but a good question.
We only had Prior for a couple of glorious seasons, and then it all went to hell. The meme surrounding Prior was that he was not actually hurt, that he was a 'pansy', or that he was a steroid abuser. It seems that the Cubs front office has indirectly fed these rumors, or at least failed to categorically deny them. As we now know, Prior needed shoulder surgery - similar to what Chris Carpenter underwent after his time in Toronto.
I think Prior has gotten a raw deal from Cub fans, and I hope that Prior has a Carpenter-like resurgence... I just hope that he does it without wearing the birds on the bat. That would suck tremendously.

I've wanted to point this out...
I defend Prior because I think it's unfair that(in general)one gets bashed and the other one is loved and gets a pretty big pass. They both have done very little for this Cubs team lately, but they did BOTH help the Cubs to the playoffs in 03 and that was awesome. I love them both very much, and I just want to see them treated fairly, which is probably not a great treatment since after 03 all they have brought are distractions and disappointments.
Sorry for my rants.

Still
I know I would have been embarrassed to have someone working for me make outrageous demands on my behalf. And I wouldn't let it happen.

For those of us............
Whether his agent or otherwise, it was a classless move to seek any additional money. After all, he's probably just barely scraping buy on what he already has..........
