Five Most Important Things of the Weekend Ricky writes daily for about nine different blogs, including tremendousupsidepotential.com and a few blogs at suntimes.com/sports .

Sheff changes jerseys Excuse me, but I can't help but love the fact that Gary Sheffield - who has kind of been a dick his entire career - got royally screwed over this week. Sitting on 499 career home runs, the economically challenged Tigers axed Sheffield just days before the season begins, leaving him scrambling to look for a team dumb ...

Top ten Chicago sports disappointments of 2008
Published 11/26/2008 by Ricky O'Donnell (noreply@blogger.com) at Top Ten Chicago Sports
While the year isn't over quite yet, I think it's safe to say that 2008 was an exciting one in Chicago sports. The Bulls got Derrick Rose. A White Sox fan was elected President. The Bears suck, but are still competitive. The Cubs led the NL in wins and went to the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time since Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House. The Blackhawks actually exist. While we didn't get any championships, 2008 was anything but boring. ...

Someone Has to Win the Central…Part 3

... it first came to me the Indians were in second place behind the Twins. Then they swept the A’s to take over first. Now, it’s the White Sox turn at the top. With all these teams bunched together the A.L. Central is wide open, with no team out of it. We asked bloggers from each team to tell us why their team WILL WIN the A.L. Central. Most of them replied reluctantly, because the baseball in the Central just hasn’t been that good this year. Up next is the White Sox, with Ricky from Tremendous Upside Potential … thome.jpg So.

What's up, everybody?  It's been two weeks since I posted over here... I've been busy trying to get the new site (Sports On My Mind) off to a good start.  I did a few posts over there on the NBA playoffs, specifically stuff on the Hawks-Celtics series, which went the full seven games, and was (as predicted) the most exciting series of the first round. Now I'm back, and I'll be dropping posts daily.  Yes, I missed Cobra & his crew, D-Fan, TUP, and Arin.  We're going to continue to focus on the Knicks here, plus other ...

Here are the words of wisdom from the Finnanator himself Hell, I'll set myself up for humiliation. Everyone loves a good sense of humor.
