Closer Kerry Wood lost to Cleveland Indians for six to eight weeks

Its the first day of spring! Time for crocuses to bloom, bears to awaken from hibernation, and Kerry Wood to land on the DL.

The Indians have lost closer Kerry Wood for six to eight weeks with a strained right latissimus dorsi muscle. Chris Perez will open the season as the Indians closer…

“It’s a setback,” said GM Mark Shapiro. “In the second half of last season Kerry showed dominant numbers and was a dominant guy. We haven’t really had any challenging news this spring. You expect something to come up.

“This is not a long-term situation. It’s a short-term situation.”

Mr. Wood's physician said he was excited, as this marks the discovery of the heretofore unknown latissimus dorsi muscle.

Well, at least y'all didn't have to watch Joe Thurston play 3rd base. Or watch Ryan Franklin close games.

YP, STL misses you.

Hey saves them from his 3rd year vesting; blessing in disguise?

So he'll miss, what, maybe three save opportunities?
