1-2-3 ninth for Kerry today, making him two-for-two in save opportunities. He's off to a great start.

So...."meh" to a Cubbies victory, then? If you don't support Kerry in what he's tryin' to do here, I say you're not a Cubs fan.

Calling into question someone's fandom is not something that is acceptable on these forums. Let's stay away from that whole thing shall we?

As for my post, I was not saying "meh" to a Cubs victory. I am always happy about that. I was repeating the sentiment of my previous post where I said "It will take a few YEARS of him working well as a closer for me to begin to consider him an asset to the team. He has a lot of disappointment to make up for."

LOL

Who are you to say someone isn't a Cubs fan? I've known Strilo awhile and he's a huge Cubs fan. Most fans are blindly in love with all players. Players have to earn our respect.

The more I think about this, the angrier it makes me. I don't like Kerry Wood because I think he is a bad thing for the Cubs. I don't like him because of my love for the team and my desire to see them win. He hasn't been an asset to the Cubs for a long time. Years in fact. Worse, he's been a detriment. Anyway, being a fan doesn't mean you blindly support everything and everyone. I didn't like Sosa either. You can have a brain and question things and have opinions and still love the team. Geez this sounds like warnings I have to give people in PT for telling other users they are not SW fans if they dislike some aspect of the PT.

Another 1-2-3 inning for Kerry (against the meat of the 'stros lineup...Erstad, Lee and Tejada), who is now 3-for-3 in save opportunities.

Go Kerry! love

Well as long as Kerry's been playing the way he has been, I'll love him. Heck I'd love to be proved wrong with Kerry. And I agree with Tim, my loyalty is to the Cubs not any one player, sure I felt like punching the wall in for a few players leaving but I'll all ways come back.

And how about the return of the alternate Blue jerseys? I missed them

Hmmm....this sounds awfully similar to the mantra of New York/Philadelphia fans...not Cubbie fans. wink

Another big win today for the Cubbies in a twelve-inning marathon.

I like the idea of sitting Kerry every-so-often and letting Marmol be the closer...don't wanna take the risk of injury, and you get two excellent closers to boot.

I meant to Kerry, not the team. Scary game the other day, 13 innings that end up with a Cubs victory. This team needs some momentum and Soriano's bat desperatly needs to wake up

I agree on Soriano. It's early though. I am not panicked about anything.

Kerry blew the save tonight. Nobody's perfect.

Meh, there are people less perfect than Kerry Wood...myself, for example. He's still 3-for-4 in save opportunities...which is a good percentage, and he dominated in those three saves.


And, in the end, they still got the win, and that's all that matters.
