Grading the Draft

The list of rules and rituals I don't like in pro sports is very brief. In baseball, I don't like that there's a foul poll and a foul line when we all know that if a ball lands on either of those barriers, the ball is fair. I find it annoying that NBA refs tend to call a block or [read more...]

Bump in the Road

The wheels are certainly not off the tracks on the Cubs season. The optimist in me says they are hitting a bump in the road on their way to a division championship, but four losses in five games provides plenty of reasons to gnaw at the fingernails. This team misses Alfonso Soriano. The eight wins in nine games right after he [read more...]

In Complete Control

The Chicago Rush took complete control of the division and perhaps the conference with yet another dominating victory over a team that had once been their tormenters.

The team is a very average 5-6 since Jim Boylan took over, so really nothing [read more...]

A White Sox Road Trip

Stepping foot inside a major league ballpark is an annual pilgrimage for me. Two dozen or so new parks have been built since the 1990's, so there is plenty of product. And when I found myself in Tampa Bay, FL last week, my trip would not be complete without a trip to the Trop. The White Sox are in town, which [read more...]

Winning Ugly

While the game may not have always been pretty, the Chicago Rush took control of the American Conference and grabbed a stranglehold on the Central Division with a 55-52 victory over the Grand Rapids Rampage. In a game of so many near misses, Rush wide receiver Donovan Morgan was a surefire hit. After catching a touchdown pass on the first play [read more...]

Bulls Season In Review - Part 3
