Oof.

Kerry Wood's return didn't quite turn out like I'd hoped. He threw strikes, all right. Three of them wound up beyond the left-field wall for four runs over five innings.

After a solo blast two outs into Will Ohman's appearance made it 5-0, I figured the last three innings would be better spent listening to mp3s. I've seen enough scores like that lately to have a pretty good idea of how it's going to turn out anyway.

...later...

Okay, I tuned back in for the bottom ninth after all. Couple questions: If you're two down with two outs and two on, how could you not pinch-hit for someone who's batting under .200? And why on earth would you bunt?
