Kerry Wood did NOT have a good day today.

I have mixed feelings about it all...

Well, that's being nice. What he did was give up five home runs... As our beloved Cubs broadcasters Len and Bob tried to put it, he was "throwing strikes, but the hitters were getting a hold of them".

Now, that's Len and Bob's decision, and they try to be as PC as they can, which I both understand and agree with in their position (that is, unless some really big crap hits the fan, in which case they should address the issue but not be nasty about it). Len and Bob are a great improvement over Chip Caray and Steve Stone: for all of his baseball knowledge, Stone always sounded to me like he was putting people down with little barbs; Chip seemed to be nothing more than an Ed McMahon type sidekick...

Sorry, back to the matter at hand... Wood. Wood just gave them up today like a rookie. Was he nervous? Probably, but he can't pull the Newbie card at this point in his career. So what was it?

Is it possible that his arm just isn't up to snuff? What do you guys think? Was he just getting back into the swing of things?

At least our hitters are waking up...
