So if the Cubs make the postseason, will Class AAA Iowa be awarded a playoff share?
Adonal Foyle, Marquis Daniels and Rafer Alston started a combined 51 games last season but are about to sign NBA contracts worth a combined $110 million. Excuse me while I cough up my foie gras.
If those guys are worth about $35 million each, then how much should Jamal Crawford get for leading the Bulls in scoring? I’d guess–and this figure may be high–at least a zillion dollars.
Well, just set my TiVo for WTTW-Ch. 11’s documentary “Disco Demolition 25th Anniversary: The Real Story.” Should be better than last year’s “Disco Demolition 24th
Anniversary: Same Old Footage.”
MLB.com asked three players from each team to rank their favorite ballpark to play in, and U.S. Cellular Field got exactly zero votes. So you’re not alone, fans. White Sox players hate it too.
Congratulations to Cubs bullpen catcher Benny Cadahia, who will be competing in the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game next week in Houston. His hitter will be Sammy Sosa.

Sure, Hawks coach Brian Sutter has 91 wins in three seasons and got a new contract, but that’s just because some teams’ expectations can never be too low.
The Bulls are running, and goring people, in Pamplona, which reminds me of the time Hemingway and I shared a bottle of Scotch in Madrid and ended up getting into a fistfight with some American tourists. Those were the good old days, and I weep for them.
My editor just reminded me that I’ve never been to Spain. I’ll tell you what I told him: Mind your own damn business!
Screw the editors. Did I ever tell you about my time in France? I once chased a young Brigitte Bardot as she cycled over 130 miles of rocky terrain. The year was 1957 …
