Kerry Wood Retiring?

[Dutchie]

sucks that he never fulfilled his full potential

[Bcatswin]

Yes. You can always blame it on Dusty.

I'd say he did for his first 5 years, or at least for the one game in May 1998. After 2003 he was never the same.

[d2bets]

Wood in the game. Will this be his last?

One batter. One strikeout. He's done.

[Deuce]

Standing O. Guy is done.

[Bcatswin]

Wow electrifying

[jjgold]

He was a fukkin bum

Glad he is out of the game

What could have been...
Adios Kerry....

[d2bets]

He could have pitched the string and collected a paycheck. But he's got too much pride for that. He gave it his best shot and just didn't have it so why hurt the team by continuing to go out there. He'll be part of the Cubs org. for a long time for sure.

[d2bets]

I thought they'd let him face one more to have a shot to get a win.

Good point D2. Didnt think of that.

I totally agree. He had everything but didn't show anything.

[rm18]

he could still throw 96 on his last fastball

[The Giant]

Why is he retiring anyway?

[Chi_archie]

8 innings, 8 runs given up 11 walks..... they didn't even trust to use him anymore.... but they didn't want to embarrass him and designate him for assignment, i'm sure they gave him the hint that he should go out on his own accord...

the real question is why did the Cubs sign him? its totally wrong for the direction that the cubs are going this year, and what Theosus is trying to do!~

[tatommack]

He was fun to watch back in the day

[Chi_archie]

guy peaked in like his 5th start ever in MLB, unreal
