"When I got to Chicago, fans came to Wrigley Field just to have fun, now they come to see us win. The expectations have changed, for the players and for the fans. It’s about winning." Kerry Wood, 7/14/08
Threw with some type of sleeve on his finger...
today and felt fine, but it hurt when he threw with it off. I say this with as much affection as possible, but only Kerry Wood could have a blister that takes this long to heal.
That's not fair.
Any pitcher could get one of those. It’ll be fine. Eventually.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
I agree that it'll be fine eventually.
I wasn’t saying that he lacks toughness or anything like that, I mean, if it hurts, it hurts. It just seems like it’s taking forever since they originally said it would take about a week to heal.
Fielder. A vegetarian?

my wife just asked me the definition of southpaw or how it came about
A left-handed individual may be known as a southpaw, particularly in a sports context. It is widely accepted that the term originated in the United States, in the game of baseball.[24] Ballparks are often designed so that batters are facing east, so that the afternoon or evening sun does not shine in their eyes. This means that left-handed pitchers are throwing with their south-side arm.

Why?
Dude, his injury earlier this year was a timebomb of an injury. He was bumming off that leg for a couple of weeks before he went on the DL

you’re right about the earlier injury. I’m glad that his finger injury gave his legs a lot of time to heal

Yeah, so did I.
Him being on the injury was actually a positive in that way.

We just figured out
our seats in Sept. are behind the Brewers dugout. I hope I can get some good pictures then in the Cubs dugout.
Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.

Reading briefly over at a certain opposing-teams-SBNation-blog-site, I read this comment:
“2 run deficit against Lilly and ‘pen? Not really worried.”
That is funny coming from the Brewers claptrap of a bullpen.
