I took my daughter to the Sox game today. It looked like they would pull it off for a while. Then Fedde left the game. When we got there we could see the wind blowing in from LF and towards the RF foul line. I said if they hit home runs, they will be to right. Anytime I get to spend the day with...

hope you're back on your feet soon.

I am sure it has been answered before but I have not followed all the moves that have been made. Are the players coming to Illinois via the transfer portal that much better than the players that decided to pack up and head out? (most going to programs that have not been as successful as the...

I understand MLB's desire to drive revenue by creating new hats and jerseys. Go for it. Some will but I won't buy it. Give me the classic white jersey with the birds on the bat. No need to improve on perfection.

Hochman what is this "poor pitching" you are talking about? Realizing that nothing is too good for this franchise, didn't DeWitt, Mo and Girsch go out and scour the free agent market this past off season looking for premier pitching talent for the team? Didn't they call every single...

It cuts both ways. I was the juror that hung a jury instead of letting someone off a DUI charge simply because the rest of them were tired of dilberating and wanted to go home. One of the other jurors actually said as we walked in to the jury room that he was voting "Not Guilty" even before we...

You can't go wrong blaming UNC for anything and everything. 4 out of 5 Podiatrists will tell you that UNC is responsible for post nasal drip.

No. Tells us what you really mean. ;)

Yep. I am 4 hours away. I won't be jumping in a car on a Tue to go watch the Cardinals implode. Then drive back home another 4 hours. I would watch the game, if it wasn't blacked out. As are the 2 Chicago teams and Milwaukee. Good thing I can watch the Dodgers games. Oh wait, they don't tart...

My son and I were going to the game last night. We were walking to the stadium when other fans told us it had been cancelled. Today's ticketholders get both games. Lucky them. I would have to go to the stadium ticket office and ask for tickets to a future game. (Maybe even today's game.) They...

In the long run, what does it really matter? It always nice when former players stop by for a cup of coffee and to slap the guys on the back and tell a few jokes but it really doesn't mean a whole lot. Working with young catchers in ST is a good thing but once the season begins you don't want...

Dallas did add a few thousand seatings for the SB. I think they also had two or three thousand more outside under a tent with a few jumbo screen tvs. It was cold and people were pretty miserable. I assumed Chicago would have the ability to add them inside the stadium if they hosted. It only...

Agreed. If organizations don't want to spend their own money then they aren't really convinced that it is all that attractive of an option to begin with. I will say if someone is willing to spend $500,000 to build me a house and then hand me the keys PM me. Has anyone seen the projected seating...

Illini are not alone in losing players. (I realize no one has said they are.) From ESPN ' Then again, who cares about Dookie anyway?
