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: Got Melky? Apparently Not.

Got Melky? Apparently Not.

I saw this one coming down the street in an 18 wheeler. Mark Buehrle vs. C.C. Sabathia is usually a game that almost always goes to Sabathia and yesterday was no exception.

Melky Cabrera hit the cycle and the rest was history, although the White Sox came back nicely early in the game.

Today, it's a free spot on the bingo board before the Angels arrive at U.S. Commiskey Park. I'll take two out of three, please.

By the time the Elderly Hillbilly decides if he is going to do TV, we'll be two thirds of the way through the NHL season. Whoever signs him will have to give him an escape clause. He may escape right away, come to think of it.
If the President should invite you to the White House for a beer summit, best not ask for a Heineken.
