Wood Gets Shelled

Kerry Wood got lit up today as the Cubs lose 14-6. Sosa got the action started off in the 1st inning with a 2 run HR but Philly made sure they ended it when Abreu hit a GS in the 6th inning. In all Wood was charged with 8 runs on 5 IP and ballons his ERA from 2.98 to 3.38.

Personally i think Wood was still tired from his last start where he had thrown 130 pitches and said he was tired. I think Baker needs to pull back on the rotation and watch pitch counts otherwise this staff will fall apart in the 2nd half. He has too many young arms not used to this kind of work load.
