Fucking pathetic. If we had a bullpen that wasn't completely useless, we would be above .500 this year. Carlos Marmol is the fucking bane of my existence. |

Too early to rename this thread, "Cubs 2013?" |

Cubs' bullpen received good news today with the announcement that Kerry Wood is set to retire after his next outing. |

Classy. He had a lot of promise but never was able to keep it together, injuries didn't help. The 20 K game was incredible........more than a lot of no hitters I've seen. |

I wasn't even trying to be a smart ass. It was a factual statement as he's been absolutely awful this year. |

Yea, I know how he's pitched. I kinda follow the team. Factual statements can still be smartassish. He's been a fan favorite in Chicago since day one......and VERY loyal to the organization and the city. The Cubs are going nowhere this year.... so I'm not too worried about the quality of the bullpen in comparison to the retirement of Kerry Wood. He just came in for his final appearance as a Cub. |

Hard to keep track of who all are Cubs fans with all the chatter going on in this thread! See, that's me being a smart ass, kinda like your first remark. Anyways, why did they decide to play him one more game if he's going to retire? I'm assuming that's just so the fans can acknowledge him one last time? |

The fact that I started the thread could be a clue. One batter. Strikeout. Retire. Long standing ovation. |

This kinda sucks. Kerry was on the first team when I really started to like the Cubs and enjoy baseball. I hope he has a great retirement. |

I'm not quite sure I understand the love for Kerry Wood. Quality guy? Loyal to the Cubs? Sure. Great player? No. Never lived up to his full potential, even before injury. He was exciting in that he struck out a lot of guys, but that hardly made him a great pitcher. I'm just not sure I've ever cared that much for a middle of the road guy who was supposed to be great but never was. |

He was with the Cubs for over a decade. Any player that is with a team that long is going to be a fan favorite, no matter if they were good or bad. Case in point, Jeff Foster. |
