Good Wood

In the just finished game between the Lansing Lugnuts & the Peoria Chiefs, Kerry Wood pitched a whale of a ball game. He struck out 12, gave up only 1 hit, 1 walk and zero runs. This is very good.

However, Wood did hit a batter and lasted only 5 innings. These are things that need working on especially since 5 inning starts tend to help wear out a bullpen. Hopefully, in 2 weeks or so Wood will be ready to return to Wrigley Field and resuscitate the stricken Cubs.
