Wood Surgery Scheduled

The white flags are upon us and here's another one. Kerry Wood will go under the knife on Wednesday for arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder. When they first discussed surgery, I recall reading something about a 3 month recovery period and that is was very similar to the procedure that Matt Morris underwent for the Cardinals last year.

Lawton Gone

The Cubs traded Matt Lawton to the Yankees today in exchange for minor-league righty Justin Berg. Berg was a late-round draft-and-follow in 2003 and played for the Wisconsin Woodchucks (!) of the Northwoods League until he signed in May of '04.

    the WC surge gains are gone.  tied with MIA for the 3rd WC spot.  ARZ +2 and PHI +5.

    Toast is ready. So is the fork and the singing fat lady. Backs against the wall…

    Dansby has to be dog tired or something. Other than the basket shot, it’s been a rough go for awhile.

    that's moneyballs as hell.  guys, ohtani is back on the free agent menu.

    I'm confident that if Cuas' right arm falls completely off, Ross will see him as the first lefty to get up in the 'pen.

    Maybe he's been a lefty all along.

  • crunch 09/21/2023 - 09:48 pm (view)

    don't see why he can't.  he's got a pulse and all of his fingers.  that seems to be good enough to march him out there as long as there's men on base.

  • Jackstraw 09/21/2023 - 09:40 pm (view)

    As long as Cuas gets to pitch again today.

    morel DH, tauchman CF, masterboney 3rd

    imagine a world where a manager decides to put morel at 3rd and canario DH.  crazy, huh?

    masterboney had 3 hits yesterday so we're stuck with him again today and probably for a chunk of what's left.

    canario had a double and grand slam a couple games ago and he's riding pine again.

    madrigal's hamstring strain is a grade 2 strain.  we probably won't see him anymore this season or post-season (if applicable) unless the team goes deep.

    well that took all of 15 minutes to not be fun anymore.
