With my Illini looking to run the table (knock on wook), it is difficult to spread my attention to another sport....

but happiness is hearing those lovely four words.....

Pitchers and catchers report!!!

The 'k' is the same typing finger as the 'd', just on the opposite hand.

CubDave, do you have one of the "Believe" bracelets? I ordered 5 of them yesterday.

March Madness rocks (both high school and college)! Between the Illini, the resurgence of da Bulls, the surprising DePaul Blue Demons (sweet 16 cinderella?), Northwestern winning some conference games, and some great high school tournament matchups forthcoming, we've got some great hoops stuff goin' on in the Second City!
Oh, forgot about my team of 5th grade mighty-mites in a 5-6 grade league, the Runnin' Runts (nobody over 5'0")!

Yep! and watching Derrick Fisher hit big shots last night for GS: 44 minutes, 21 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 5-8 from 3-point land.

Amen Skunk Boy, the start of spring training is a great time of year. Bright sun, green grass, and my beloved Pirates aren't out of the pennant race yet.

They were first released at Cubs Convention, and then available on the cubs website. I searched online and found them. Careful though, I heard that fakes are being sold on eBay (fakes on eBay? Go figure). Part of the profits go to Cubs Charities.

Happiness is knowing the Bucks’ season is coming to end soon, and hoping that Michael Redd will net us a nice player in a trade.

Oh, and like the Pirates post above, the Brewers are also not out of the pennant race....yet (wait at least until the end of May).

Naw, all Cincinnati teams start a game back just to make it easier for them to continue to fail, especially the Reds!

Getting ready for another year of Cleveland Indians baseball. Oh and it isn't too bad having LeBron James playing for the Cavs either.

I think they got some decent pitching in the off season. Now, if they could only trade Griffey while he still has some trade value left, they might turn things around.

No one will be interested until he can make it through a healthy season. And maybe not even then. That suits me just fine - he's a legit 40-HR, 120-RBI guy.
