  2. I don't know how well any of Ron's noted quirks - clicking his heels, his hairpiece mishaps, any of his "catchphrases" ("OH GOSH!"; "gee whiz..."; "YESSSSSS") - lend themselves to a jersey patch and unlike Ron, Harry and Jack were both icons almost solely as broadcasters. In that vein, they could do something with a microphone to symbolize Ron's broadcast work, but I wonder if that might underrepresent his playing career in the process. All that said, I would bet on a generic black patch with a #10. Maybe over the heart instead of the sleeve.
  3. Same source: http://twitter.com/#!/CarrieMuskat/status/12387617714737152
  4. Mandatory. And right you are. In addition, Ricketts, Hughes and Selig will offer the eulogy. http://twitter.com/#!/CSNChicago/status/12261586911625216

  6. I'll never be able to listen to another radio highlight the same way again. Rest in peace, Ronnie.
  7. 1 year, $6.5 million. Shortstop shuffle in the NL West. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-giants-tejada
  8. Santo's next chance to get jobbed by the committee will be next year. The veteran's committee now votes on a three-year cycle: this year is 1973-onward, next year will be 1947-1972 and 2012 will be pre-integration, 1871-1946. Voting, for the record, is done up to the end of December and the results announced in early January.
  9. And on the topic of how lost this team would be without Derrick Rose... ...he's a game-time decision for tonight with a stiff neck. C.J. Watson would start in his place. :|
  10. God[expletive]dammit.
  11. The optimistic projection is "the beginning of December", but if I'm not mistaken, he's just now slowly easing into practice. One would think it's still going to be a few weeks until he's up to game snuff.
  12. Optimistically, about two weeks. Realistically, probably a little longer.
  13. OK, that's funny. :-))
  14. "First week of December" was the optimistic estimate.
  15. Taj is in the starting lineup.
  16. A's and Iwakuma making me look bad. #-o http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=reu-japaniwakuma
  17. He did, or at least claimed to, under the pretense of spending more time with his family, who lives in Tampa. He lives two blocks away from the Yankees facility down there and the Yankees make several road trips down there per season.
  18. I think that's an unfounded conclusion. Is there a pitching coach out there whom A. you feel is available at the moment and B. you would actually spend millions on, or whatever amount would qualify the signing as not being in "the discount bin" to you? I would think, or at least hope, that they're looking to hire from within because there's little gain to be had in holding a massive search/hiring process for the position of pitching coach.
  19. Looks like it. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/2740/source-cubs-will-promote-coach-from-within
  20. The MRI only showed a bone bruise. I don't imagine he can worsen it any by playing as long as he feels able.

  22. Unsurprisingly on a number of levels, the mayor and the governor both say "lol no". http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2010/11/15/wrigley-renovation-proposal-strikes-out-with-daley-quinn/
  23. I believe the plan would have them spread the renovations over three or four offseasons.
  24. "Only" the third straight. Fifth in their last six.
  25. Is Gilbert Arenas still "Agent Zero" if he's wearing no. 9?
