June 2009 ArchiveTaking over Full Court Press for a weekby Ricky O'Donnell on June 30 at 1:24PM
Before you dive into that two-part Simmons-Klosterman podcast, go check out my post on Chicago baseball All-Stars over at the Sun-Times' Full Court Press blog. I'll be there through the week. My only goal is to avoid starting any more race wars. Easier said than done.
New SlowBreaker column, up at 11 a.m.by Ricky O'Donnell on June 29 at 3:28AM
Or whenever Zack Zach feels like posting it. Topics include U.S. v. Brazil, the NHL Draft, and, of course, Ricky Rubes. (Update: find it here) Also read: Stompy's soccer post.I'll see his Donovon collage and raise this one of Cubs...
Brazil'dby Bobby Loesch on June 28 at 3:59PM
It's hard to put into perspective how much goodwill the United States soccer team lost today from casual soccer fans. I mean, they were up 2-0 on Brazil, and they steadily blew it. It wasn't really a flurry of goals....
WORST DRAFT EVERby Ricky O'Donnell on June 26 at 12:26AM
Just kidding, actually. There was a time when I had strong opinions on things like this, but I think that time passed when I forgot what day the NFL Draft was on. The only reaction I can really muster up...
In which I find my new favorite basketball playerby Ricky O'Donnell on June 25 at 12:33AM
Anytime a player enters the NBA drawing to comparisons to Pistol Pete and looking like he should be in the Arctic Monkeys, I get excited. So excited, in fact, that I'm easily more pumped to see where Ricky Rubio lands...
With the 26th pick...by Ricky O'Donnell on June 24 at 1:48AM
Part I.. I sort of wish the Bulls didn't have the 26th pick. I want Thabo back. He had some good games in Oklahoma City last season, and I just feel like he'd fit this rotation well right now.It's too...
The player representing the White Sox in the All-Star Game should be...by Ricky O'Donnell on June 23 at 3:03AM

Looking at the Bulls' options in the 2009 NBA Draftby Ricky O'Donnell on June 22 at 12:01AM
BobbyStompy loves him some Kobe.Since our tagline ends with "along with the future stars of professional sports", it's probably about time there's some NBA draft coverage here. Others on the BlogsByFans Network have been all over it for months, led...
Kobe Sundayby Bobby Loesch on June 21 at 8:38PM
I'm sick of looking at the Cubs celebrating every time I come to TUP, so here's this: Have a great Sunday, everybody.* * *Three parting thoughts...1) Really having trouble watching this U.S. Open. I've been finding myself rooting for Mickelson...
The Cubs demolish Scott Linebrink, Part IIby Ricky O'Donnell on June 18 at 5:14PM
I saw the Sox celebrate like this once. WHEN THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES.Will someone please tell Scott Linebrink to stay at home when the Cubs come to The Cell next week? Yeah, none of the Cubs' runs in the...
I was rudley woken up by John Salley this morning!by Bradwell on June 17 at 11:23PM
You mean you haven't been following the mounting sexual tension between former Bull (and some other things) John Salley and former Illinois First Lady Patti Blagojevich? Well, shit brother, then you don't know that the near-perfect semblance of words in...
Ben Gordon to the Pistons?by Ricky O'Donnell on June 17 at 12:19PM
Let's get this out of the way before the game starts...News of morning or fraud? Sam Smith says Ben Gordon has a promise from the Pistons that would pay him $11 million annually. Some are calling BS on this -...
Sox + Cubs = funby Ricky O'Donnell on June 16 at 2:39AM
BobbyStompy types the words "Jay Cutler" in a Gordon Beckham post. I think that means it's worth your time. Smart people hate the Crosstown Classic. Jim from SoxMachine calls Cubs-Sox "the two worst weekends of the season". Most of the...
Gordon Beckham doesn't want to lose your love, tonightby Bobby Loesch on June 16 at 2:22AM
Cubs-Sox I kicks off tonight, so before things get really heated, let's be lighthearted... if only for a momentIf you've been at the Cell this season for any of Gordon Beckham's at-bats, you've probably noticed he's not walking the plate...

Hawk Slams Black Jack's Beckham Postby Bobby Loesch on June 14 at 3:41PM
Cubs hate goes hereDuring Comcast's Sox-Brew broadcast today, Hawk took some shots at Jack McDowell, who he perceived took unfair shots at Ozzie in regards to his handling of OMG super stud prospect Gordon Beckham -- I'm pretty sure the...
Cubs fans tend to be enormous d-bags, Dave Matthews fansby Bradwell on June 13 at 7:51PM
After an extended editorial brainstorming session (and by that I mean Ricky and I drunkenly playing "would you rather" [I do not mean this]), we've decided to start a new feature here at TUP. It doesn't have a name yet,...
Friday link dump!by Ricky O'Donnell on June 12 at 2:33PM
Only because we need to get all that damn Rose stuff off the top of the page. Rex Grossman: your newest Houston TexanI don't know if I've ever been as wrong about an athlete as I was about Grossman (though Tyrus...
About that little Derrick Rose pictureby Ricky O'Donnell on June 12 at 12:23AM
So yesterday was pretty crazy, huh? How am I not famous right now!?The obvious comparison here is to the 7th Floor Crew thing from a couple years ago, but you'd have to multiply that times 1,000. G-reg and Co....
The offseason can't end soon enough for Derrick Roseby Ricky O'Donnell on June 11 at 4:01AM
It's easy to forget just how young Derrick Rose is. After seeing him juke Andre Miller out of his shoes, dunk all over Leandro Barbosa, and stuff the living hell - from behind! - out of Brian Scalabrine, all as...
The White Sox draft a football player. They're due, right?by Ricky O'Donnell on June 10 at 11:33AM
Yesterday, Sports Illustrated ranked how successful each team has been in the MLB draft over the last 10 years. It shouldn't be a huge surprise that the White Sox were placed at No. 29, ahead of only the Astros. Some...
The White Sox party like it's 2005by Ricky O'Donnell on June 9 at 12:01AM
These things happened. Yesterday.- Jose Contreras pitched a gem.- Scott Podsednik hit a home run.- Freddy Garcia became one of the guys again.Really, it was quite a day to be a Sox fan. Things got off to a frustrating start...
Could VORP be next?by Bradwell on June 8 at 5:36AM
That's the Sox box score from ESPN.com, note the addition of OBP and AB pitch totals. I spent all of Saturday drunkenly hurling into an assortment of public toilets in Lincoln Park helping to raise money for underprivileged kids...
A look at the Sox' top prospectsby Ricky O'Donnell on June 5 at 12:17PM
We're already almost a third of the way through the baseball season? I think it snuck up on me because the Sox were so mediocre for most of the first two months. The Bulls and Blackhawks might have had something...
The guy in first can only be described as an "insufferable douche"by Ricky O'Donnell on June 5 at 3:35AM
May in our fantasy baseball league (fixed). Exciting stuff. More in the afternoon. Until then, reflect on the Wilson Betemit Era....
The time has come: Chicago welcomes Gordon Beckhamby Ricky O'Donnell on June 4 at 4:23AM
Yesterday, I planned on previewing the White Sox' top five prospects, but then, you know, stuff came up, and I never got around to finishing it. Now it all seems useless. The Gordon Beckham Era beings today against the A's,...
Hey thereby Ricky O'Donnell on June 3 at 2:18PM
I'll be back in full force tomorrow with a long Sox post. Until then, a few things to check out:* Tyler Hansbrough: future Bull. Because three American-born white guys isn't enough.* Top Ten Chicago sports figures we'd like to see...
No. 550 brings the White Sox back to .500by Ricky O'Donnell on June 2 at 1:14AM
I really can't say enough about Jim Thome. His career, his White Sox tenure, the fact that he's probably the nicest professional athlete in the world, the fact that he could be the greatest 16-inch softball player of all-time even...
Your second place White Soxby Ricky O'Donnell on June 1 at 5:11AM
Sunday was moving day for me and I don't have the time or energy right now to do a long post. That's what happens when you do back breaking labor til 4 a.m. A few things you should be aware...
