Meet the Staff

I'm Chip Ramsey a career broadcaster who has been a sports radio program director in Milwaukee and Nashville. I've covered everything from high school and college sports (including the SEC, Big Ten, MVC and OVC) to Major League Baseball, The NFL and the NHL. I have a few things to say, and when I want to say them, I say them here.

I mostly talk about my teams, which would be the White Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks, but I do talk about other things as well. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will bookmark this site and visit often!

Chip Shots: I've Got To Get A Message To You

I've Got To Get A Message To You

Last night, Yankee Manager Joe Torre won his 2000th game as a big league manager. Nicely done for a guy who some thought would never get close to that after failures with the Braves and Cardinals. But it does prove if you give a good guy a chance to redeem himself, he can and often does.

One of the keys to Torre's early success with the Yankees was his bench coach, Don Zimmer, a crusty old baseball guy. Now that Torre has hit the milestone, you have to think that Zimmer will somehow attempt to communicate with Torre. Looking like a guy who thinks the "internet" is something used to catch fish and a "cell phone" is a device used by inmates to call their Mamas on Sunday, Zimmer will most likely resort to an old school method to let Torre know his good wishes.

Will he:
a) send a Hallmark card
b) wire a telegram
c) send smoke signals
d) dispatch greetings by pony express
e) find a carrier pigeon
f) message in a bottle
g) beat a tom tom
