Monday Miscellany: 6-23-08

What a wonderful weekend. I have no idea why I just wrote that. We're actually looking forward to this week getting underway, what with hype over what Maria Sharapova will wear at Wimbeldon, and the opportunity to pit many of photo of here, side by side with some of Ana Ivanovic, too. And hey -- the Rockies come to town to play the Royals, and, well, I suppose we're a mere month away from training camp at this point, too. Mmmm...football...

In efforts to hype the series nobody in Chicago knew about, Windy City tubes displayed this tasty treat for stickball fans catching Sox-Cubs at home.



If that doesn't spell "awesome," I'm clueless as to what does.

In case you missed the latest Balls Deep column, it's a pretty good read, as usual. That guy's also doing the unspeakable, known as plugging his own book on his own site.

Bugs and Cranks re-caps the weekend in MLB inter-league play.

The Big Lead clued us in that Sports Frog reports that Dr. Z. thinks the Vikings will be competing for a Super Bowl trophy. Yeeeaah. That would be awesome, especially if Jared Allen blew out his knee in week two.

And the 700 Level has done a bit of market research to figure out what MLB park has the cheapest beer.

That's how the morning looks. More later. Much later.

Peter Gammons credited the hot weather for the Cubs' hitting this weekend in Chicago.

When is that old man gonna retire? It's time.

Cheers,

P.S. Saw a great game at the K with Pa this weekend.

Dude, Sharapova? What year is this ... 2005.

Ivanovic is where it's at these days, ol' man Banky.

Cheers,

Hey,

Where's the WAHCW - tennis chic edition. Did I already miss that?

Maybe it's time for another one. You could even include some auditory links to their various grunts.

Cheers,

Peter Gammons is a national treasure, which is why they put him on the $20 bill. He provides completely objective analysis of every team and in no way does he focus solely on the one from his home town of Boston.

I wonder how the Red Sox would fare in the hot weather, or maybe some hail.

I wonder what Gammons would taste like if Cecil ground him up and spiced him with peppers, garlic, and maybe some fennel seeds, then cooked him in a shoe box lined with tin foil in the hot Chicago sun.

He'd taste like a Dubuque plumper.

Kinda like the girl to whom I...ah, never mind.
