February 15, 200719 yr AM1000 is reporting that Kerry wood has fallen out of a hot tub and will miss the beginning of spring training for for pitchers and catchers. This is NOT A JOKE. 4-6 days with bruised ribs. Is there any other appropriate way to respond to this other than to laugh hysterically?
February 15, 200719 yr I know this will probably amount to nothing, but still... Wood hurt in fall from hot tub, out for a few days MESA, Ariz. -- Oft-injured Kerry Wood is out again -- this time because of a flub in a hot tub. The Chicago Cubs pitcher is not expected to throw off the mound for a few days after he slipped this week getting out of a hot tub at home. Wood landed on his stomach and chest. "It was just a little spill," Wood said Thursday. "I didn't think anything of it. Nothing's wrong. It's just going to be a few extra days. My arm feels great. My body feels good." Wood said he probably would not have thrown off the mound until Friday had he not gotten hurt. He participated in most drills on Thursday when pitchers and catchers worked out for the first time. Bothered by an injured right shoulder the past three seasons, Wood is being converted to a reliever after being limited to four starts last year.
February 15, 200719 yr I don't care that you said otherwise. This has to be a joke. It just has to be.

February 15, 200719 yr Author Kerry Wood is injured.... In other news, the sun rose this morning, its cold in the arctic, and the harlem globetrotters have defeated the washington generals.

February 15, 200719 yr Gettin' in the hot tub.... OHHHHHHH HOT!!!!!!!!! http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2767126 (espn.com's story) This is hysterical. We'll see if this pans out. I remember Kent injured his wrist "washing his truck" and it turned out he was doing something against his contract (Was it riding a motorcycle?)
February 15, 200719 yr Yeah, just like when that Barmes guy got hurt falling down the stairs & lost the ROY award because of it. Isn't it amazing how people who are under contracts requiring them to not do stupid things wind up with the wierdest sorts of injuries? Almost mind blowing, in fact.
February 15, 200719 yr Now, if Wood was doing the towel throwing drill while in the hot tub, he could've dried himself off much better and prevented slippage.

February 15, 200719 yr At what point do you you lie about your injury. If Im Wood I say I got attacked by a bear or something.

When your injury occurs when you were doing something that is banned by your contract. When that happens, you make up some silly story that no one will ever question, like you fell down some stairs while carrying groceries, or hurt yourself in a hot tub, something like that.

Except if your Kerry Wood. With him, he probably just got hurt for waking up this morning. He has to tell lies because of the embarrassing fact that he as fragile as a house of playing cards.
February 16, 200719 yr LMFAO You got to be kidding me again. Yeah when is the next MRI scheduled. How many times can these guys get hurt. They aren't worth a dime.
February 16, 200719 yr ABC 7 just confirmed this story...LMFAO. He will be on the DL sooner than I thought. Edited February 16, 200719 yr by EvilJester99
February 16, 200719 yr Somewhere a Cardinals fans is likely making a spoof of this already. ... Perhaps Kerry Wood should be cryogenically frozen until scientists can find a way to protect him from himself.
