Doesn't everyone complain that the infield grass at Wrigley is like a foot high? Why have the Cubs not tried signing as many ground-ball pitchers as possible?
Every infield in the majors is tailored to the home team's players. Some shortstops like the dirt harder for better bounces, some like slower grass. I'm not sure Castro has figured out what he likes yet. That being said, they had tall grass and soft dirt everywhere when the Cubs' pitching staff was setting strikeout records. So, just to be clear: The run sets up the play-action pass? 11 on 11. Pick a man and guard him. |

I fucking love Kerry Wood. I will never not love Kerry Wood. Same here. I will, however, not love the meatballs who are saying that his number should be retired. It's too easy to make an argument against it and there are those who can't wait to do so. Fuck both sides of that non-argument in the face with a syringe full of rat semen. |

I think I may have been wrong all these years. Ryno isn't my favorite Cub. Kerry Wood is.

Never heard the 'Stros feed on that before. Nice. Remind me to send some Smoque BBQ to Jerry Meals' hotel room next time he's in town. The man is a saint. It always looks like he's enjoying it as much as we were. I half-expect him to do the Frank Drebin after a couple of those calls.
EDIT: That was my world series. If I never see one. Fuck it. I saw that.
