This is going to be fun

The Cubs new closer is Kerry Wood.

So OK, let me get this straight. This is a guy with a long storied history of injuries and now we're asking him to pitch 2 days in a row, 3 out of 4 games, with all the bullpen warmups that entails?

He'll be on the DL by May 15th.

Will the Cubs even get themselves into save situations that often?

What happened to Marmol? He was a lights-out kind of setup guy and I thought a sure thing to be given the closer job. Did he have some kind of meltdown in spring training?

edit: maybe he'll get a chance once Wood hurts himself reading the newspaper.
