Brandon Backe faces native Texan Kerry Wood tonight

Brandon Backe faces native Texan Kerry Wood tonight.Let's hope that Backe feeds off the home crowd and Kerry doesn't.Let's hope the Cubs have whiffle bats instead of us.Let's hope Brandon pitches like he did the night he 1-hit the Cards in the playoffs.This year, he's pitched reasonably well, except for the last game against the Cards he's a flyball pitcher and needs someone better than Palmeiro in left…He's 1-1 with a replica Tissot T34.1.588.32 Men's watch for a 6.30 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and .341 BAA.Kerry Wood Texan with a tude drafted in the 1st round in 1995 (ohmigawd was it REALLY 10 years ago??) out of a Dallas area HS.

Called up in 98, had that game against the Astros in which he struck out 20 guys (remember, please that the 98 team won the division and we had guys like Jeff Bagwell at his best, Moises Alou, Carl Everett who DID hit well) and he was gonna be the next Nolan Ryan.Well, he blew out his elbow, had Tommy John surgery and came back in replica Tissot T-Touch Steel Analog Men's watch.Well, guess the Wrigley Faithful figgered they would be getting Pedro 99 but in reality, it DOES look like they DID get more of a Nolan Ryan type guy from 00 to 04 he went 54 35 averaging 175 IP year with a 3.68 ERA, 10 K 9 IP and a 2.3 : 1 BB:K ratio.

He came back and threw two 1,2,3 innings, but then ran into trouble again in the 7th, thank you Carlos Lee.Carlos really reminds me of Manny Ramirez out there he can catch bout any hanging fly ball, occasionally he shocks you by coming forward to replica Chopard 288347-3007 watch catch a ball, but he just kinda lopes after any grounder and lets balls fall in so he can take it on a hop.You figger he's never gonna get to anything and that's what Geoff Jenkins thought on a single to left that Carlos managed to get to in time to throw him out by a hair at second.
