http://blog.cubhub.net/2008/04/24/solid-wood/ Views from a Die-Hard fan of the Chicago Cubs - from CubHub.net Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:03:52 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 http://blog.cubhub.net/2008/04/24/solid-wood/comment-page-1/#comment-227 Clark & Addison Blog - CubHub.net » Blog Archive » Closing Time: Lights Out for Wood Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:04:59 +0000 http://blog.cubhub.net/2008/04/24/solid-wood/#comment-227 [...] Kerry Wood leads the National League in saves with 17. He has been lights out; absolutely what was hoped for in anointing him Closer. Not much is being said about him lately and maybe that’s a good thing. But he deserves his due. Carlos Marmol gets a lot of fuss and is the heir-apparent for years to come (Mariano Rivera comparisons aside). But Woody has gotten it done in a workmanlike way so far this year. And he’s healthy too! …knock on Wood. (add John Smoltz to the PTGHEY - Players That Get Hurt Every Year list I wrote about here.) [...] [...] Kerry Wood leads the National League in saves with 17.
