Quick Shots: Bring On The Royals
- It's opening day 2.0 for the White Sox as they entertain Kansas City this afternoon at US Commiskey Park. I'm excited about the Sox p[laying someone other than the Indians to open the season. Now if Mark Buehrle can get through more than two innings, we may have something.
- Apparently, Brett Lillibridge has the intensity of Carlos Quentin. Hope he can avoid breaking his wrist.
- Here's another one of those White Sox previews that lacks in facts including claiming last year was Carlos Quentin's rookie year (it wasn't) and that Cole Armstrong is the Sox backup catcher (that would be Corky Miller.) Proof again that everything you read on the Internet isn't gospel. (Out Of Left Field)
- The staff at the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network have made their baseball projections. Gee, Chris Singleton, you aren't biased are you? No more than Peter Gammons, anyway.
- How about your own Yankee grass in the backyard?
- It's amazing how fast Jerry Angelo's stock has risen with Chicago fans since the Jay Cutler trade. I always thought Angelo did a decent job, no worse than any of his other Chicago GM counterparts. In fact, I heard a discussion on The Score Sunday afternoon where they were asking which Chicago GM was the best. Any answer that isn't Kenny Williams is incorrect. Seriously. Which GM can do more with less and who is the only active GM in Chicago to have won a championship in his tenure. Behind Kenny, I'd rank Angelo, Dale Tallon, Jim Hendry and John Paxson.

- Cutlermania has definitely swept Chicago, but I agree with Hub Arkush that Cutler is just one player and if the Bears don't upgrade their receivers, secondary and pass rush that they will be a good team but not a team capable of going to the big game. The same thoughts are shared by our hero and role model. The best analogy I heard regarding the Cutler trade is comparing it to when the Cubs got Nomar Garciapara. How'd that one work out again?

- I love all the blogs I've read where you are suddenly "negative" if you do not hit your knees at the sight of Jay Cutler. It's almost like the hatchet job the liberals are doing on Rush Limbaugh. Not purchasing big game tickets at this point isn't being negative, it's being a Chicago fan. (Da Bears Blog)
- BTW, according to Peter King, my suspicions were correct in that Denver coach Josh McDaniels thinks he can mold Kyle Orton into a better quarterback. If Jason Campbell were even decent, the Smurf would have gotten his man.
- Junior Griffey did something yesterday he infrequently did in a White Sox uniform. Best of all, he helped beat the Twins.
- You gotta love Hoosierville, IN, USA. First the taxpayers get mugged. Then, the Mayor gets mugged. Is this God's of way of saying that these yokels have no business being in a major sports league? I think, yes. Indianapolis: Schaumburg in the middle of a corn field. (Pro Football Talk/Deadspin)
- A true case of the blind leading the blind.
- I can't believe that the networks can't get behind an 18 week NFL schedule considing how profitable the sport is. If anyone should be paranoid, it should be NASCAR. Football in mid February would be a big problem for them and possibly their network, FOX.
- My friends, I know Jack. Please, get him off. (Sportsfilter)
