... female racer. Normally, this would only be slightly entertaining than Nascar (i.e. not at all) but...well, I'll let the video speak for itself (Personally, I like the part where Duno throws a towel...twice!) Well, enough banter, on to the links: Tom Haudricort of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal explains Ray Durham's experience of being traded from one side of the field to the other (seriously). And it all comes crashing down on Kerry Wood and the Cubs...again...for the 12th time... Good Ole Cholly send a ...

Kerry Wood and the DL to reunite for limited engagement

... probably picked "April 24" and "shoulder." Blister issues can linger, but this is clearly not (yet) the disastrous injury many of us had feared (and continue to fear). Conveniently, Carlos Marmol was recently mass-dropped in Yahoo! leagues. He's had a terrible July (11.37 ERA, 2.05 WHIP), but he pitched a perfect ninth inning in Chicago's 9-0 win on Sunday. Marmol is the add, if he's available in your league. Here's the Trib: Carlos Marmol will assume the closer's role in Arizona and for ...

Paging Dr. Green: Wood and Contreras Head To DL
Published 7/21/2008 by Dr. C (noreply@blogger.com) at Chicago Bull
Kerry Wood and Jose Contreras will be enjoying the pine for a while as both were sent to the disabled list retroactively. For Wood, a blister on his right index finger means his 12th trip in his career, and one that could be putting my prediction about him going on the DL once for the season in peril. I figured he would be bound to go on there at some point, and this isn't too bad of news for Cubs fans. He's had blisters on the same hand before and returned fine. Were it ...

Miday Monday News and Notes

... Kerry Wood returns to the DL for the 12th time in his career.   However, if, March of this year, you were going to tell me that Wood was DL bound at some point in '08, believe me, I'd have felt relieved to learn it was for a blister.  Lou chose to celebrate Kerry's DL-boundness by pitching Carlos Marmol in a blowout as he was preparing Marmol to be the interim closer.  It was a "tune up" because Marmol apparently needed the work. ...

... stated there was an outside possibility he could be activated in time for tonight's game ....but Paul Sullivan said Soriano would more than likely be activated on Wednesday after he played in a game on Tuesday with the I-Cubs in Tucson. Also, the blister on Kerry Wood's right hand may lead the Cubs' closer to be placed on the DL for the 12th time in his career . According to a report in the Tribune , if Wood is placed on the DL it would be retroactive until July 12th and he would be eligible to return on Sunday....and Carlos Marmol would be the closer in Arizona and for ...
