June 2008 ArchiveSox rule, Cubs droolby Ricky O'Donnell on June 30 at 1:01PM
I was at Game 3 last night, and let me tell you, it was awesome. That's the reason there isn't a Beachwood column today- we'll be running it tomorrow- so I'll save up most my observations till then.
Most underrated moment of the night: the guy behind Phil lecturing his son on why Brian Anderson sucks: "This guy is a terrible baseball player...he looks lost at the plate...why do they keep trotting him out there?" Next pitch, home run. Love when that happens. There were some good signs at the game too (though nothing as awesome as the MARIOTTI LOVES COCK sign me and Mike saw at a game earlier this year), but I was really hoping a Sox fan would quote Shaq and pull out this one: "Hey Cubs fans, tell me how my ass tastes." Derrick Rose, yippee!by Ricky O'Donnell on June 27 at 1:57AM
Since I really have nothing else beyond “yippee” to add, here are some miscellaneous draft day observations.Oh wait, I do have something to add! The Bulls totally need to change their jerseys and logo. The current threads still remind everyone...
Quick Rose roundupby Ricky O'Donnell on June 26 at 1:00PM
- Rose says he wants to be MVP as a rookie- Interview with True HoopHenry Abbott: My first question. Do you take seriously the concerns about being in Chicago? The pressures of playing in your home city? Derrick Rose: No, it's not...
Today is going to be a good dayby Ricky O'Donnell on June 26 at 12:20AM
If you’ve been reading this site the last couple days, you know that I was a little nervous about this pick. Rose just seems like such an obvious, easy selection, that I wondered why the Bulls played their cards so...
This is shaping up to be a great weekby Ricky O'Donnell on June 25 at 12:35PM
So, we have three posts here today. My take on the draft and Phil's take on Beasley is below, and here's my ode to Juan Uribe. I have posts up at The Fantasy Factor and TTCS as well. Oh and...
Paxson will have some explaining to doby Friends of the Program on June 25 at 12:00PM
Phil Barnes of TTCS on what his reaction would be if the Bulls took BeasleyBY PHIL BARNES I cannot believe this. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the Bulls organization decides to throw the city and just...
Rose's intangibles and other Draft thoughtsby Ricky O'Donnell on June 25 at 12:02AM
And…another day with nothing from Pax and the Bulls on who they're drafting. Maybe I’m making too big of a deal out of this, and I just want the pick to be Rose so badly that I’m getting nervous for...
One point guard to unite us allby Ricky O'Donnell on June 24 at 2:37AM
Derrick Rose answers questions, skinny nerd in the corner writes down responses.-------------------Go read Stompy below on the Sox and Cubs, then head back up here.--------------------So it’s Tuesday now: when do you think something will leak about the Bulls’ plans for...
Last Word On Cubs-Sox Part 1 (And It's Not Even Ours)by Bobby Loesch on June 24 at 1:44AM
Everybody's familiar with Chuck Garfien, right? You know, the dorkier guy from the Comcast Chicago crew. Not sure who around here reads Comcast's website for news -- I go for the TV schedule and occasionally get hooked into stories --...
Clearly, this is all Beau's faultby Ricky O'Donnell on June 23 at 3:11AM
Fuckin republicans. Still, I'm proud of my last post. Read that shit. Here's this week's Beachwood column as well. Don't all sound so excited at the same time.We'll get em' next time, no? *Quickly: DeRo just called The Red Album...
A few more reasons why I hate the Cubsby Ricky O'Donnell on June 21 at 1:51AM
Yeah, it's a special weekend post. Sox-Cubs is just that epic. Yesterday I let my friends say their peace on the Cubs, and I thought that was it. I try to be fairly objective in my baseball viewing, and though...
Piling It On: 10 More Anti-Cubs Thoughtsby Bobby Loesch on June 20 at 12:04PM
BobbyStompy agrees with (pretty much) everybody else1) Turning on Sosa -- Cubs fans blindly defended Sosa through thick and thin, including when his BAT WITH A CORK IN IT broke on the field for the whole world to see. All...
Sox-Cubs Round One: this is going to be sweetby Ricky O'Donnell on June 20 at 12:04AM
Yeah, yeah, yeah, these are only three games in the middle of June. Whatever. I am 100% pumped for this series. It’s easily the most excited I’ve been for a baseball game since....Opening Day 06? Just in case Cubs fans...
Tigerby Ricky O'Donnell on June 19 at 1:06AM
I’m trying to hold off on all Rose-Beasley discussion until next week. I feel like the NFL Draft takes place eons after the season ends, but the NBA Draft comes out of nowhere. It’s next week already, but before we...
I think we can end those MJ comparisons now…by Ricky O'Donnell on June 18 at 12:06AM
I didn’t see much of Game 6 last night. I planned on flipping back and forth between that and the Sox game, but the Sox’ home run parade was too fun to turn away from. Every time they explode offensively,...
Time to pound the Piratesby Ricky O'Donnell on June 17 at 12:01AM
2-5 last week. 6-0 the week before. Baseball is crazy. But with the Pirates heading to Chicago for a three game series, the Sox need to win at least two of three. A sweep going into the Cubs series wouldn’t...
New White Sox column up at Beachwoodby Ricky O'Donnell on June 16 at 1:53AM
Indeed. Make sure to check The Fantasy Factor throughout the day as well. ...
Get ready for a White Sox-Cubs World Seriesby Ricky O'Donnell on June 13 at 12:05AM
Yeah, now imagine this times 800. I was in attendance for yesterday’s kind of amazing 3-2 come from behind Cubs win. It was the type of game that they never should have won. Jim Edmonds, he of the .205 batting...
Going to the Cubs game todayby Ricky O'Donnell on June 12 at 1:50AM
But only because it's for a friend's birthday. Don't worry, I'll be the guy holding the "Dempster is on roids" sign. This fantasy blog is tough biz. We get our name in the paper though! So that's kinda cool. I...
Reflecting on the Cedric Benson 'Error' (See what I did there?)by Ricky O'Donnell on June 11 at 7:30AM
I think everyone is happy that Cedric Benson is gone. I said on the podcast and on FCP that I didn’t really care if the Bears cut him, but, more than anything, that was just so I wouldn’t have to...
I knew we were on to something...by Ricky O'Donnell on June 10 at 6:45PM

Introducing...The Fantasy Factorby Ricky O'Donnell on June 10 at 1:31AM
Check it out. We had to keep this under wraps until it was ready to go, so I hope no one is too pissed at us for not letting the word out sooner. But yeah, there it is, fantasy sports...
"I think I hate Ted Koppel!" ... and by 'Ted Koppel,' I mean 'The Celtics'by Bobby Loesch on June 9 at 4:58PM
Going into these 2008 NBA Finals, I really thought I was going to cheer on the Celtics:I think I'm going for the Celtics...but then something happened. During Game 1, the Lakers trailed slightly throughout, and I found myself pulling for...
Bulls set to hire Vinny Del Negroby Ricky O'Donnell on June 9 at 2:25PM
But first, read an epic version of the Sox Report over at Beachwood. This time, it's comes compete with zero discernible baseball analysis. Just the way they like it. ***No one should have too strong of an opinion either way...
Saturday's are for rock: Spoonby Ricky O'Donnell on June 7 at 2:22AM
Of all the bands that I like with really stupid names (The Arcade Fire, Margot, Arctic Monkeys), I think Spoon is clearly the stupidest. When friends ask me what music I've been listening to, I don't feel very cool telling...
Doug Collins outby Ricky O'Donnell on June 6 at 6:21PM
Maybe more on this on Monday- we'll see what happens this weekend. But, yeah, no more Doug Collins. He pulled out of the Bulls coaching search this afternoon, which is fine by me. Like I said in the previous post,...
Sox sweep Royals, choose SS Beckhamby Ricky O'Donnell on June 6 at 2:10AM
I never read South Side Sox before this season started. I love Blog-a-Bull, but never realized how great its White Sox counterpart really was. With that said….the guys over there went CRAZY when the Sox passed on South Carolina first...
Will Leitch leaves Deadspinby Ricky O'Donnell on June 6 at 1:49AM
Honestly, this doesn’t surprise me all that much. Deadspin has always been criticized by the mainstream media for being too mean: from the pictures of drunk athletes to running with the Kobe rumors. The only problem was that Leitch seemed...
Royally Uninvolved... and Really Enjoying Itby Bobby Loesch on June 5 at 12:55PM
BobbyStompy makes his first '08 visit to The CellThe Sox game last night was pretty weird. I mean, it ended on a 15th inning walk-off, but it was the Royals, you know? The Sox offense had exploded the night before,...
About those “NBA Finals”by Ricky O'Donnell on June 5 at 1:59AM
So all the Celtics fans are furious over Simmons’ ‘The Lakers are unbeatable’ column. And they should be. If national writer from Chicago with a profile as big as his wrote that before the Bears played the Colts in the...
A quick look at the 2008 MLB Draftby Ricky O'Donnell on June 4 at 1:45PM
I think this is relatively clear at this point, but just so everyone knows: that shitty season was the best thing that ever happened to the Bulls. I’d written them off for the next three or four years (or at...
Owned.by Ricky O'Donnell on June 4 at 1:10PM
Despite what all of us believe, there are actually people who know significantly more about sports than the crew at TTCS. That was evident this week when we took the bashing of a lifetime by the Unprofessional Foul, which I'll...
Fred Mitchell also thinks the Bulls should trade JamesOn Curry for LeBron Jamesby Ricky O'Donnell on June 3 at 5:57PM
By all accounts the Trib’s Fred Mitchell is a great guy. Terrific. The new Sam Smith, he is not. Wade and the #2 pick to the Bulls for #1? I’m sorry but that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard....
Don't expect Devin Hester to be too ridiculousby Ricky O'Donnell on June 3 at 2:34AM
Wide receivers coach Darryl Drake’s declaration yesterday that the Bears’ pass catchers can be better in 08 than they were in 07 got the blogosphere talking. Everyone was laughing at him, but hey, at least they were talking. As MJD...
Check out the new White Sox columnby Ricky O'Donnell on June 2 at 4:17AM

Woogie, Woogieby Friends of the Program on June 1 at 1:46AM
Warning: The views of Woogie are not the views of TUP. He is an unaffiliated party, only meant to give you something to do on Sundays without football. When not watching videos of kids getting hurt, Woogie hurts kids himself....
