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: Forked In Boston

Forked In Boston

I know I have been an optimistic voice all season long. I know I have preached patience. I know that I have tried to put as much lipstick on this pig of a team as possible.

After watching the White Sox flush another winnable game last night, I have sadly come to the conclusion that being 4½ games behind the Tigers at this point is not impossible, but improbable, based on the fact that this team cannot get it's act together.

It doesn't matter who pitches on Saturday, be it Jake Peavy, Carlos Torres or the ghost of Cy Young. If Scott Linebrink is involved in the game, who ever starts will get a loss or an ND. Same if Octavio Dotel has to pitch. And even if they come in and do their jobs, either men will be left on base in scoring position or someone will kick the ball around or something.

Insanity is best defined as doing the same thing over and over hoping to get a different result. Hoping night after night that this team can put together a winning streak now qualifies.

I'm done. So are they. Fork 'em. Time of death, 8/25/09 at 9:10pm CDT.
