Fantasy Baseball: Kerry Wood’s Broken Mirrors

READ MORE: Fantasy Baseball, Kerry Wood, Tristan Cockroft

The troubles for Chicago Cubs’ pitcher Kerry Wood continue. He’s ineffective a large portion of the year and goes on the DL. He comes off the DL and he looks like the dominating pitcher everybody keeps thinking he’ll be. Then he gets hurt. AGAIN. Maybe he’s Kerry Wicker? Or Kerry Deadwood. Groaaannnn.

Anyway, ESPN’s fantasy oompa-loompah Tristan Cockroft examines Kerry Wood’s bad luck streak on his fantasy owners and scratches his beach ball-sized head in haste. He also dropped one of the most nerd-a-lific fantasy sports inside jokes in history:

“In essence, Wood is looking a lot like the fantasy baseball equivalent of NFL running back Fred Taylor.”

And guess what? We laughed. We all can’t be comedy geniuses like Cockroft. So, back off.
