Help Wood pick an entrance song
By Paul Sullivan, 10:27 a.m.
SCOTTSDALE- Now that Kerry Wood has been anointed as new Cubs closer-- following in the footsteps of Dave Smith, Mel Rojas, Rod Beck, Terry Adams, Rick Aguilera, Flash Gordon, Antonio Alfonseca, Joe Borowski, LaTroy Hawkins and Ryan Dempster-- the real guessing game begins.
What will be Wood’s entrance song?
“Enter Sandman?” “Welcome to the Jungle?” “Back in Black?”
Actually, those rock classics have become baseball clichés by now, and have already been taken by other closers anyways.
Wood was asked that question on Monday, and hinted that he has no plans on using an entrance song.
“I don’t think you can hear the music on our indoor-outdoor speakers,” he said with a grin.
Wood may not know this, but the Cubs improved their sound system when they renovated the bleachers a couple years ago. But when I asked the relievers about “entrance songs” last year, they complained that they couldn’t hear their songs because whoever is in charge of the sound system refused to turn the volume up.
Certainly Wood has a little more clout than, say, Will Ohman. So if he really wants an entrance song, he could probably get whatever he wants.
So what song should Wood enter with?
Knowing his friendship with Eddie Vedder, I’d say some Pearl Jam is definitely in order. Perhaps “Corduroy” or “Even Flow”?
Personally, I’d prefer “Rearviewmirror,” which has a great opening guitar lick and an emancipation theme that reflects the new chapter in Wood’s storied career.
But, as usual, we’ll leave it to you, the Hardball readers, to give Wood some suggestions for an appropriate entrance song.

So so cruel all of you haters!!!!
That's okay because Ed will be there to sing about penis and crack the weekend of Aug 22nd!
GO CUBS OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um ... I'd say Mark Prior was a much bigger bust than Kerry Wood ever could hope to be.
But thanks for playing.
for the least they could possibly do
If you think there haven't been much bigger busts than K-Wood ... you must not follow much baseball.
There are tons of first-round draft picks who have never even sniffed the majors.
But, again, thanks for playing.
for the least they could possibly do

(special moment)
So, don't be sorry I do understand!

It's all state of mind
Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff
You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...
Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
i doubt "the waiting drove me mad" would go over well in wrigley.
Can't Keep
Release
Go
Dude looks like a lady
Cubs Suck
Your Mom Sucks
