smartass lol
I could see KW coming back next year. Not saying to Cubs but he still not an old guy. How many times do we see a guy retire middle of year and make comeback next year.

When ump calls the pitch you have no choice but to swing
I don't argue it's a skill not something some gets from a five time MLB starter

Name others.
First thing here: Petitte took over a full year off. So your Wood prediction for next year is still wrong and stupid.

Except Wood proved he could strikeout people a lot over the course of his career. It's not like this 20 K game was some rare occurrence of Wood striking people out at a high rate and making them look foolish/stupid. Wood struck out a lot of batter in his career and also that season. Hell he struck out 16 guys a few months later.
Your analysis and reasoning is shit.

Firstly, you can't judge the zone from the off center angle WGN was giving you during that game. Most of those pitches were probably in the zone. Secondly, not a single Astro complained about a wide plate after that game. Thirdly, you're still allowed to hit a pitch that is a few inches off the plate. There wasn't even contact there.

Angles are different. So some maybe in while others that look in are out. It balances out
Watch the video. Many complained at the time of the call
Yes you can hit it. Easier to hit when it's actually within the normal range of the batter

Are you mental?
It's not the umps fault Wood has nasty shit and the Astros batters were swinging and missing at everything..including stuff "in teh zone"
Questioning the "eye" of the Astros batters you tard.

With exception to 2003 and his Strikeout game he was a mediocre pitcher. I do not get the love affair with Cub fans regarding him. He was a player often hurt and never reaching his potential and what the Cubs and baseball thought this guy would be. 200 innings twice and than the DL stints. Love Chicago! where fans worship mediocre players.

the thought of that is so stupid. Can you imagine if this happened and dunn launches one onto sheffield followed by more walks. dumbest and riskiest thing to do.

exactly. this worship of players who had potential that had the injury plague is fucking stupid. all because of dominant performances in 2003. if this is the case and this is how chicago wants to play it, lets have a shrine for el duque and carl everett......and maybe throw blum in there too. its just dumb
