The Riveting Continues

I don't mean to target your article again Den, but I have to. I definitely know that you meant it as completely satire, but more comments have been posted which lead me to believe that some men actually feel this way and it's making me crazy. ( To catch up, read 'What Would Rosie the Riveter Do?'). Example: "To Den: Sorry you [read more...]

What Would Rosie the Riveter Do?

I never really considered myself much of a feminist, but it starts to show more and more as I grow in this crazy sports writing world. It's hard for a woman to be taken seriously in this business and it's hard for a woman to like sports without being judged. There have been a few things that have touched base [read more...]

I never thought I’d say this, but give the Cubs a break!

I'm really starting to get tired of everyone blaming the Cubs for everything. I know this is strange coming from me considering I'm such a big Sox fan, but seriously, it doesn't make any sense. It all started with Ozzie's little rant about how the Sox are 'The second team in the Second City.' I can't count how man times I've [read more...]

Will this ever blow over?

I know I'm kind of contradicting myself from my last entry for talking about it again, but what can I say, I'm irritated. First of all, I found out that Slezak didn't even see the blow-up dolls. That in itself is a whole other [read more...]

Give the guy a break! One of the articles had a great photo of Floyd but it had nothing to do with him. It's kind of sad that [read more...]

Blown out of Proportion

First of all, I don't see why the Chicago Sun-Times' front-page story featured blow-up sex dolls in the White Sox clubhouse. Second of all, I don't see why Kara Spak and Carol Slezak are making a huge deal out of it. I became more and more frustrated the more I read. For those who don't know what happened, here's the deal.

Justin Miller’s tattoos

Here’s the 3-2 pitch– hey what’s that?

Ever wonder why pitchers decide to wear sleeves in 80-degree weather during a game? Well, for Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Justin Miller, it's because his tattoos are considered distracting. More than 50 percent of Miller's body is covered in tattoos. No one knows who made the complaint, but he was asked to wear sleeves when he pitches because his tattoos [read more...]
