Quick Shots: White Sox Enjoy Tasty Cuban Sandwich
- It looks like some of the White Sox kids can play after all. The Cuban Sandwich goes yard on former Sox John Garland. Aaron Poreda rights his ship after a rough start. Of course, it's only spring training.
- I would be absolutely SHOCKED if Josh Fields isn't the White Sox third baseman on opening day and the Cuban Sandwich isn't in Charlotte. They are similar players, both decent hitters capable of say .280 25 100 and are both defensively challenged (although after Joe Crede, most third baseman playing for the Sox will look defensively challenged.) The big difference? Fields has some regular season at bats in the bigs. I think the Sox play Fields, wait until the Cuban Sandwich is ready and then trade Fields for whatever they might need.

- Who says opening restaurants is only reserved for ballplayers and announcers? (South Side Sox)
- Some excellent work by The Cheat. I agree with him 1000%. (South Side Sox)
- Maybe there is a reason Kenny Williams didn't go after any free agents. So far, Jim Hendry's ROI has been nada.
- Don't expect the Bears to go shopping for help. Except for spare parts. It's a good thing the Bears are in such a crappy division.
- Want to annoy the President? A) Tell him you enjoy listening to Rush. B) Waste his time.
- One of the great names in all of sports will be out this entire season. (Midwest Sports)
- Ah, Skip Clueless. Is there anyone more you'd like to tell to STFU? I don't know about you, but I could care less who Troy Aikman sleeps with. There's a reason Clueless was run out of both Dallas and Chicago. (Awful Announcing)
- Nothing would make me happier than if David Falk's prophecy came true. (Sports by Brooks)
- I keeping having to remind people of this, but here it goes again. We're in a recession. People are losing their jobs and their homes. People are sneaking into our country. The deficit is a gazillion dollars. Yet, our duly elected public officials are more worried about college football or what some basketball coach says rather than concentrating on the important issues at hand. Please, vote these bums out.
- You don't tug on Superman's cape; You don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that ol' Lone Ranger and you don't lie to Nick Saban. (Roll Bama Roll)
- If you think you are paying a lot for cable now, wait a few years. By then broadcast rights will have ESPN charging so much to cable companies, it will have to become a premium service like HBO or Showtime. Seriously. What may hurt ESPN further is the fact that the leagues all have their own networks now and can use the games as a way to draw new viewers.
- Going to a game costs a family of 4 around $200 these days. Here are a few ways to help bring the cost down. (Consumerist)
- Here is an idea as an alternative to fighting in the NHL. Gary Bettman is rumored to be endorsing it strongly. (Serious Sports News)
