OK...maybe it's been discussed and I missed it...but when did Kerry Wood slide into Randy Johnson's body?  Good Grief, he's lost a lot of weight.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

JD mentioned that he was on a stict diet, only eating what the org gave him.  Tough making do on bread, water and chewing gum.

One has to wonder what causes a young man like that to suddenly lose so much weight.

He said he was on NutraSystems or a similar diet in which you eat only the prepared foods they send you. That's according to Brownie last night.

Cubs' website lists him at 6'5" and 225. Wonder how accurate that is. His face-shot photo shows an obviously thinner face than the action-shot next to it: Link.

He looked even thinner than that mugshot the other night when he made his debut.

Please. The only gum the Cubs chew is Juicy Fruit.

Yeah, but he was still bringin' it so I don't think the weight loss has hurt him any.  Might even have helped some...

Bringing it?  Last night, I don't think he threw more than 3 fastballs out of 31 pitches...we were wondering why all the breaking stuff.

A few weeks ago, I found this video, that features Wood's rehabilitation, on the New York Times website.  His precipitous weight loss could, in fact, be a response to his frequent trips to the DL.

Me too. What's weird is that it worked out much better for him in his 2nd inning of work. JD said he'd been clocked at 93-94 in his first game back though.

Okay, so my opportunities to watch were singular in nature and I saw a 94 on the board so....
