The season opened in the land of the rising sun and sunk pretty quickly afterwards. Don Baylor was the new Groove in town and he brought back a mediocre former Cubs catcher and an actual lead off man. Kerry Wood didn't debut until May after surviving his bout with Tommy John Disease but he did it in memorable fashion. The Cubs kept trading for Barves pitching prospects (never a good idea), Ed Lynch got fired and the Cubs occasionally used a linebacker sized outfield of Sammy Sosa, Glenallen Hill and Henry Rodriguez. It's time to remember some crap about the 2000 Cubs.
