baseball & football

if case you didn't already know it, here's a quick fact for you to remember: the SEC is the best conference in college football. every other conference is simply playing for the bcs runner up trophy.

the cubs were eliminated from the division race on saturday but they're still alive for the wild card heading into play on sunday. the one mountain they WILL climb is the one to 90 losses, which are a mere ten away. how can anyone be a cub fan? year after year after year.......

BUT if the cubs bring in tampa gm andrew friedman, i predict he will have the same effect that ron wolf had on the packers back in the 90's. you heard it here first. friedman is just 35 years old but has a history of holding people accountable IMMEDIATELY, which would chang that drag-ass attitude that is so prevalent on the north side. he will cost them dearly but tom ricketts has to decide what he wants: winners or write offs?

the white sox bottomed out with that 9-8 loss on saturday in detroit which should spell the end for both kenny & ozzie. everyone is sick of their childish battles in the media and the chairman has also had enough. this was a team good enough to win but you had to be willing to sit dunn & rios july 1st, not september 1st and calling up the replacements so you could make a run at the division. no more excuses for them. out the door.

the bears are sneaky ready but a very tough schedule and a big question mark hanging over the offensive line reels in my enthusiasm. if cutler continues to get beat up like the last two years, have a body bag ready. i still say 8-8 with no playoffs.

bonus question for a free beer: within 5 seconds, NAME the head coaches of the chicago fire, chicago sky and the chicago wolves. 5 seconds, GO! i didn't think so.

chicago bulls? no news

blackhawks? i got nuthin

chicago fire? never any news

chicago sky? a total waste of gymnasium space. classic underachievers second only to the cubs.

wolves? 3,216 fans wait anxiously for the start of the season.

i'm outta here.
