“Hello, Kerry. How was your trip to Kohl’s?”
Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

What a deal. CC could buy over 3 million Axcess Polytech™ Jackets—one for every adult man in Finland, Iceland, and Estonia—build a warehouse for them, and still be a millionaire many times over.

I think you have to be wearing khakis and a polo to and ignoring baseball to enjoy Old Style

the only good dive bar in Ann Arbor always had Old Style on tap, and it was cheap, and late in the evening it was tasty

as far as crap beer goes, i’ve had none better than old style. the key is only having one or two. i’ve always said it tastes like the first time you ever sipped your dad’s beer as a kid. which was unpleasant at the time, but when you are reminded of it – in a way only old style can – that it somehow becomes a fond memory.

Schaffers is the one beer to have if you’re having more than one.
In college, my fraternity bought 21 cases of Schaffers and consumed all but 4 cans over the course of the night as part of the “Schaffers 500.”

Talk about some brews that don’t bottle well. They’re better on tap, but still kind of flat and sugary. Leine’s is one of my favorite summer shandies, though.

it is actually pretty hard to find OS at wrigley now. there are a few stands and a few vendors, but the vast majority of the beer there is the big boys.

Asked about the thoroughness of the day-long physical, Wood laughed and said, “Somebody asked me about it and I told them, "If every player had to go through a physical like that, there would only be seven or eight teams in the big leagues.’”
Said GM Mark Shapiro, “We pride ourselves on doing on medical due diligence.”

Drop your pants Mr. Wood.
Nah man, I had surgery on my shoulder.
I understand. Drop your pants please Mr. Wood.
As General Manager of this team, I demand to know when I'm getting a start.

Really, we don’t have to, you know, I feel a lot better in this position, maybe I just haven’t been doing enough calisthenics.

Well then explain to me how in the hell they signed a certain DH/1B with a shoulder injury to the largest contract in the history of the club. When it comes to medical “due diligence” Shapiro’s full of strunzo. And to think, his brother’s a interist!

Again, there is no reason to think that they didn’t do the due diligence on Hafner, and based on that, we have to assume there was no evidence of an injury. Certainly he didn’t play like a man with an injury in September of 2007.

“Every free agent pitcher has a level of risk,” said Shapiro. “Inherent in that risk you look at the role, the contract, the amount of the contract, the length of the contract. In the end, if we made a decision to move forward, it’s safe to say we felt comfortable with the risk. Aware of it, but comfortable with it.”

And this is why they signed Wood and not Furcal. He is happy to play here. I like this move.

“It never crossed my mind about switching leagues when I entered free agency. What was important was coming to a solid organization. All I heard was great things about the fans, the front office and everything top to bottom.”
“To have the bases loaded and none out is not the greatest situation to be in,” Wood said. “I look at it as, hey, I’m out here. There were times when I wasn’t sure I’d pitch again. Now that’s pressure.”

Sabathia should take note: this is how to handle a press conference. Kerry Wood is a class act. He instantly replaces the affection I’ve lost for Sabathia. As long as the team is run as it is, its players will be easy ones to like and admire.

Sabathia was a class act for as long as he was here, especially considering how young he was for half his tenure here. I give him full credit.
Having said that, K-Wood said an awful lot of great things in that press conference, both on and off the standard script.
