Travis Wood starts today. The question is: does it matter? Does he have a chance to dazzle and land a rotation spot? Do his crappy Spring starts not matter in either direction?

If he strikes out the side in four straight innings on a total of 36 pitches, I think he will help his case significantly.

Other than that....

Barney just keeps on hitting this Spring.

Gee, just like last year.

Byrd forgot his jersey? That's a little odd.

So, Seattle... interested in Randy Wells?

Yea, cause the first inning is his forte.

Wow, Cubs LIT Vargas up.

Padilla says that Sveum said before the game that Mather is basically on the team at this point.

Who IS this clown near the press box with the toy trumpet? For fuck's sake, man, give it a damn rest.

I'm glad to hear it. I think he'll be a pleasant surprise this year. We could use a diamond-in-the-rough type player on the bench.

Does Travis Wood know what the fuck he's doing?

Or is he lost, feeling his last rotation shot slip away?

[Luke]

Wood's not fooling anyone. I don't know enough about his stuff to know if the Arizona air could be a factor, but this is just ugly.

[TWC]

I'm sorry, I really can't believe that TWood is "working" on anything here... other than giving up a 7-0 lead.

[Luke]

Nice opportunity for Jay Jackson, though.
