The Great Chicago Fire of 2008

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:31:51 +1900

The White Sox sure make a lot of noise, but are they actually any good? It's hard to imagine anyone topping the circus that has been the New York Mets in recent weeks, but Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox are sure trying. Guillen, who has yet to meet a bleep he didn't like, has managed to keep his team in the spotlight throughout the first half of the season with his ...

Lou Piniella Was 'Ambushed'

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 05:00:00 +1900

While Cubs manager Lou Piniella isn't as fiery as he used to be (he's been ejected from a game 61 times), he still will get tossed from a ball game from time to time. Of course, ever since Lou came to Chicago, he's lived up to his nickname as he's only been ejected from a game twice. The first time came back on June 2nd, 2007 when Sweet Lou gave us a classic performance that resulted in ...

What if Fukudome had landed on South Side?

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:13:22 +1900

Kosuke Fukudome finally played a game at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday. Judging by some of the monstrous swings he took, it was a big day for him. Cubs manager Lou Piniella talked about Fukudome's balance and "textbook" swing the first time he saw him take batting practice in Mesa. But against Jose Contreras and relievers Boone Logan and Nick Masset, Fukudome took some hacks that were vicious.

Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen rap

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:34:47 +1900

If you haven't caught this gem yet, give it a watch. They've been playing these commercials for the past couple weeks during the Cubs/Sox games. This is probably one of the most simultaneously funny yet terrifying things I have ever seen. It's like watching a huge train wreck-if the train were full of some creepy ass circus clowns.

News: Willie Replaced by Lou Pinella

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:35:00 +1900

Huh? Why would they contact Willie to see if he wants to be involved in some capacity? He was invited to be a coach because he was the manager of the other New York team. It wasn’t like someone thought, *gosh, we really need to have Willie be a part of this…that will make it really special and great.* It wasn’t a personal thing, just like they asked Girardi because he is the manager of the ...
