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::NL Central

St. Louis Cardinals-They are the best team in a weak division. But how can you lose with Albert Pujols and their starting pitching. The Genius will get them into the playoffs again.
Milwaukee Brewers-A very underrated team, they have improved their starting pitching, upgraded their bullpen and can hit with the best teams in the league. If they get production from Corey Hart and Casey McGhee and can get any kind of starting pitching at all, they'll be fine.
Cincinnati Reds-I think these guys could be the surprise of the league if everything comes together. Cincinnati Reds-I think these guys could be the surprise of the league if everything comes together.
Chicago Cubs-I think that they are overrated. They'll start the season in a hole with out Ted Lilly, arguably their best pitcher. Too many ifs with this team: IF Zambrano can control his temper, IF Marmol can be a successful closer, IF Soriano can round back into form, etc. Too many ifs.
Houston Astros-Age, injuries and sub standard pitching will plague the Astros in '10.
Pittsburgh Pirates-If I miss the other 29 teams, I won't miss this one. Next year is not this year.
