Kerry Wood is on the DL for the 12th time in his career. But, as far as Wood injuries go, I’ll take a blister every time.

I’ll also take Jeff “Shark” Samardzija being called up to fill Wood’s void. The former two-sport Notre Dame athlete has been nothing but solid in his six Triple-A starts for Iowa.

It could be argued that it’s too early for him, but now is not the time to stop tweaking the Cubs pitching staff.

Perfect timing

The Cubs are 1-4 since the All-Star break. The Brewers are on a six-game winning streak and just one game behind in the standings. Kerry Wood has debilitating blister. Derrek Lee leads MLB in grounding into double plays.

The good news? Alfonso Soriano is expected to return to the lineup tonight. Oh yeah, and the Cubs still have the best record in the National League.

No worries.
