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!

Ramsey's Fearless Forecast: AL Central

Minnesota Twins-When it comes right down to it, these guys always seem to execute in the clutch. Their starters are slightly above average, their bullpen without Joe Nathan is mortal, but when you add up all of the parts, you have to give it to the Twins until someone else takes it away.
Chicago White Sox-See separate analysis
Detroit Tigers-I think the Tigers have the bats to keep up the two divisional big boys, but I think the arms are a shade weaker. If they get career years from their starters and their weakened bullpen can be effective, they are capable of wining the division.
Cleveland Indians-I've read a lot of uplifting and optimistic things about the Indians, but frankly, I don't see them. At least not this year.
Kansas City Royals-All they need are Jerry Owens, Willie Harris and Luis Vizcaino and they could put the band back together. They may be improved, but that's a relative term when it comes to the Royals.
