Rather, it was the spelling of his own so-called name "Eleven Rings" that was in question. Take a look.<br /><br />And let's not bring up a game for a long defunct franchise in the Washington Senators and a "record" that isn't even recognized my Major League Baseball as a way to validate your whiny and constant vitriol towards the Cubs. <br /><br />For someone that isn't obsessed with the Cubs, and claims to be a Cardinals fan, your Cubs to Cardinals comment ratio is slightly out of whack.<br /><br />And who said Cub fans are obsessed with Wood? He had a nice little moment that was recognized by the fans at Wrigley and that's it. No one had a tinker tape parade for the guy. Lay off and gain a little perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458433186867121068.post-37148710857862487432012-05-23T16:51:33.167-05:002012-05-23T16:51:33.167-05:00I am a Reds fan so I don't care about Kerry Wo...I am a Reds fan so I don't care about Kerry Wood, but I also teach <br />English and the work "chock" is a block or wedge placed under something else to keep it from moving.<br /><br />So, Eleven Rings is right when he said Wood blocked or chocked the Cubs from moving on to the Series, and I am suspect he knew that and was setting a trap for someone less fluent in the English language than he. <br /><br /> If I were Eleven Ring's teacher I would give him straight A's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458433186867121068.post-73957586667887451602012-05-23T16:22:06.491-05:002012-05-23T16:22:06.491-05:00First you seem to be a lot more worried about me t...First you seem to be a lot more worried about me than I am the Cubs.<br /><br />Ever hear of Tom Chaney who struck out 21 batters for the Washington Senators in 1962. I don't think any fan of that team is still obsessed over a mediocre pitcher who had one good game.<br /><br />And, yes Wood chocked away the game that kept the Cubs out of the World Series, and name calling and whining will never change that fact.Eleven Ringsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458433186867121068.post-75014826649039446672012-05-23T16:08:56.319-05:002012-05-23T16:08:56.319-05:00Thank you both for your comments.

Good to see Mr. Smarmy himself "Elelven Rings" chime in with his two cents of worthless dribble right on cue. <br /><br />Do yourself a favor, quit worrying about the Cubs and find a dictionary as soon as possible. Third Grade called and you're wanted back after P.E. for a sit-down with your spelling teacher.<br /><br />Kerry Wood was a fantastic pitcher that obviously never lived up to his God-given potential and ability...we know that. He also was a good ballplayer who always fought his way back from trip after trip to the disabled list. His 20 K performance in 1998 is still viewed by many a baseball historian as one of the most dominant pitching performances ever. 2 All-Star appearances, the 1998 Rookie of the Year, and a Major League record. We should all be so "mediocre".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458433186867121068.post-25235125461768217752012-05-20T15:28:55.145-05:002012-05-20T15:28:55.145-05:00How good was Kerry Wood?

He chocked away game 7 in the 2003 playoffs to go to the World Series.<br /><br />For any other team than the Cubs he would just be a footnote in that team's history.Elelven Ringsnoreply@blogger.com
