Hey, remember me?  No?  Okay, well since things have gotten a little busy I’ll be trying this out for a while.  Every Friday we’ll highlight five stories you should have been paying attention to during the week.
Lane Kiffin leaves Tennessee for USC, public eats him.  Wow, I hate Lane Kiffin but things really got kicked [...]

Mark Grace has always been my favorite player of all time.  Most hits in the 90’s, always seemed to come through in the clutch, funny as hell, party guy and of course, the slumpbuster legend.  Well my boy weighed in on the steroid issue and offered this reason for why he never took PEDs:
“I like [...]

This was one of the greatest baseball commercials of all-time.  I remember when it came out I couldn’t stop laughing at it.  Maddux and Glavine are flat out funny.  If only they knew that all that working out was useless and they could have just injected some HGH.  I bet they’re feeling pretty stupid now, [...]

A scathing review of Cubs management, ownership, and scouting.  Even though they are overpaying for an underperforming team right now, I would say 3 playoff appearances in the last 6 years isn’t all that bad. [MidwestSportsFans]
Remember that pitcher for the White Sox a few years ago, Jim Parque?  Well he admits to having done steroids [...]

A new camera system is being installed in every Major League ballpark to measure the exact location and speed of the ball on every part of the field, as well as where the players are.  This will allow for a better statistical analysis of the game in a lot of ways.  Joe Morgan is not [...]

A site essentially devoted to the White Sox inexplicably rips Ozzie. [Luol's Dong]
What is the Bulls obsession with undersized guards?  Its almost like a strategy geared towards acquiring them. [Pippen Ain't Easy]
Okay this ChicagoSportsWebio scheme is a little over my head, but you know it can’t be good when just days after allegations that paychecks [...]

Lou’s image as the ignorant, crotchety old man that everyone loves grew a little more yesterday with this quote regarding Sosa’s steroid use:

“Get off my yard you goddamn kids!  I know you’re all hopped up on goofballs!  Where’s Zambrano?  He’s supposed to mow my lawn!”

Every baseball fan has a different moment when the steroid controversy really hit home for them.  That moment where they went from assuming the best of their heroes to suspecting everyone of wrongdoing.  For most fans it was probably around the turn of the century, when allegations of steroid use surrounding Barry Bonds expanded the [...]

Ryan Theriot has been just obliterating the ball since May 1.  He has 3 home runs in the last 4 games, tying his career-high for home runs in a season in a 4 day stretch.  I’m not sure if this will keep up, it’s not like The Riot was one of those guys that seemed [...]

I know some of our readers are Sox fans and irrationally get mad whenever we write something critical about the Sox (often), but Ozzie just makes it so easy sometimes.  What has our favorite idiot done now?  Well after he ran his mouth that players who get caught doing steroids should be suspended for a [...]

Former White Sox player and 1983 American League Rookie of the Year Ron Kittle says that he fears for Jose Canseco’s safety.  Right, snitches and stitches and all that; Peyton Manning taught me all about it.  Here are some Kittle quotes from the Trib:
“My first thought was: ‘I wonder who’s going to be the first [...]

Yesterday at FanHouse’s MLB section, there was a post about the 11 players that we need to be clean.  It was a good list, and a great idea for a post, so I thought I’d look a little closer here.  We’ve largely ignored the whole steroids debate here, since you’re getting all you can handle [...]

We haven’t covered the A-Rod steroids story too much here for a few reasons.  Partly because it doesn’t really relate to Chicago at all right now, but mostly because it is one of those stories that is so over-reported by mainstream media outlets that I get a headache every time there’s another story about it [...]
