Another off-day gives us another opportunity to reflect, this time on another dark day in M's history, a long, long time ago.

Another off-day gives us another opportunity to reflect, this time on another dark day in M's history, a long, long time ago.
As you may have heard, we are currently enjoying the highest strikeout rates that mankind has ever known. Well, enjoying is probably the wrong word. Quietly tolerating, is more like it. It's a real...
A 20-year-old Cub had made just a handful of major-league starts, when, in May of his rookie season, he had a game for the ages, setting a team record by striking out a huge number of players from a team headed to the postseason. Kerry Wood? No, I'm talking about Dick Drott, the Kerry Wood of his day.
I know who I want as BB's replacement. He's pictured on this post. Who's your pick?
Friday's emotional goodbye to Kerry Wood was special for Cubs fans. Here's why it meant so much.
Chicago Cubs reliever Kerry Wood made a decision this morning as reported by MLB.com's Carrie Muskat, and that was to call it quits sometime this weekend. He just wanted one more appearance to cap off a 14 year career, fittingly enough he struck out the one batter he faced. Wood spoke about his decision following the game, which you can watch video of here.
Kerry Wood is calling it a career, and, what a career. What a tremendous career, and what a disappointing career. Kerry Wood leaves us in an awkward position.

"In his fifth career start, on May 6, he threw a one-hit, no walk, 20-strikeout shutout against the Houston Astros, tying Roger Clemens' record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game and breaking Bill Gullickson's single-game rookie record of 18 strikeouts in 1980."
...sometimes it helps to see why a player like Kerry Wood decides to hang 'em up, does it not?
Kerry Wood is moving on to the next phase of his life; I'll never forget the memories he's given all Cubs fans.
