Shorts Hops: Baseball Almost Over, Basketball Almost Here
Believe it or not, the year is already 3/4 done. 2010, we hardly knew ye and with time's inexorable march forward we can begin to wrap up the 2010 baseball season. [Of course, Cubs fans have been doing that since what? August 1? No rimshot? -Ed.] In any case, the basketball season is nearly upon us and football is already here and ready to rock you like a hurricane. Onward to Short Hops...
- Tailgate's own Turncoat was interviewed by TimeOut Chicago this week about his new found allegiance and abandonment.
- MLB announced the 2011 Team Schedules this Week. The perennially "waiting til next year" Cubs will be hosting the Yankees and traveling to the Boston Red Sox in inter-league play.
- Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the South Siders may have just moved up in the queue for the gallows after dropping their second successive game to the division leading Minnesota Twins. Eh. A for effort, Pale Hose?
- Derrick Rose has Some New Hardware to show off and Sam Smith has new ways to ramble on about how great and invincible Rose is... Ugh, someone --anyone-- should give this dude (Smith, not Rose) the FJM treatment.
- Bears Lineback Hunter Hillenmeyer Out For Season with concussions and Rick Telander (who earlier this summer did a series on football players and concussions) defends Hillenmeyer's choice. Note: concussions are insanely dangerous to mess around with. Like juggling chain saws on an ice berg...or something?
