I was listening to a ball game tonight and it sounded like it was going to be something special. Very close, well pitched game. 1 – 0 going into the 8th inning. A blown call and a hit/error later made it a 3 – 0 game going into the 9th. The home team pitcher had […]

And congratulations to Lee DeWyze from Mt. Prospect, Illinois. Even if Crystal had not been from our neck of the woods, being talked about continuously on the 4 local stations, I would definitely think that she was the clear front-runner. From what I have seen of American Idol this year, the paint salesman has grown

I just read that Ernie Harwell passed away. This was expected, since he had an inoperable form of cancer. I grew up listening to Mr. Harwell on the radio. As a Tiger fan, he was the voice of the Tigers. I would have the game on TV, but the sound would be off and I

Happy Earth Day a day (or two at his point) late! Did anyone happen to see this remarkable play begun by a little-known third baseman in the top of the 6th inning against the Oakland A’s? The first time such a feat was accomplished by the team since 1968 when one of the greats was

We were looking for a family-friendly activity to do with our kids on Saturday. The zoo was out since we’re chaperoning a Girl Scout field trip there next Saturday. Our original plan was to take our very furry and smelly dog to get groomed, but when we called around for prices, the quotes were much
Opening Day in the Bronx with the added spectacle of a little jewelry distributing. Across the street the rubble that had been the home of the Bombers was little more than a memory of years gone by. I was lucky enough to visit the cathedral in the 90s. World Series Champs for the 27th time!

Well, this was going to be a blog post where I was going to stay upbeat. I was going to talk about the positives and (as it became apparent) the negatives of the 2010 Chicago Cubs team, but I was going to do it as sort of an objective sportscaster… until the bottom dropped out,

GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! GO CUBS!!! Well, I just went to check my countdown timer on my blog site; it should say there are mere hours left until the Chicago Cubs open their 2010 season… but I can’t find the countdown timer on my site. And I can’t find it in the widgets section either.

Well, baseball season is almost upon us finally, and I’m really starting to get the itch – not that I’ll be able to watch many games anyway since when we’re actually home to watch tv it’s dominated by Noggin and the Disney Channel… but I can dream, right? So the other day, I did a
Well… today was eventful. The H.S. Boys Basketball team is in the District finalS for the first time since 2001. The final will be Friday night at the “Grand Canyon.” This made for a very UNeventful evening at work. From 7pm-9pm, I probably could count the number of customers I had on one hand. I
