Some of you may have heard that I recently said that Kerry Wood sucks. This is news to me. To go into greater detail, this is precisely what I said about Wood just last night:

Oh, and Kerry Wood looked absolutely brilliant - right until he failed to seal the deal. What's up with that?

I'm all about not being Jump to Conclusions Guy, but Wood's inconsistency has me worried. While he's certainly no LaTroy Hawkins, he's also proving to be no John Smoltz. However, Carlos Marmol - who saved the game in the 10th - is without a doubt more valuable in a middle relief-setup role, and I think that Wood needs to have a few more weeks before he gets abandoned.

Well, I suppose that somewhere in those sentences are the letters "s," "u," "c,"and "k." If only people would stop taking things out of context! I think Wood sucks, I think religion is absurd, when will it end? But hey, I appreciate being told to "relax a little." I've got to learn to stop reading things wrongly, because when that happens I may react in a way where I come off as being both condescending and - ironically - wrong. Or I should at least read everything in detail rather than just headlines.

Anyway. The Cubs play in just a few short hours. Hopefully Matt Holiday will fail to get on the ball in only the way he - and Mark McGwire - can.
