1. Impeach him!
Gotta love Sox slugger A.J. Pierzynski. He definitely has a future in politics … as the mayor of Wrigleyville.
2. Healthy fear
Despite missing the sweep, the Cubs finally look settled. What’s that? Kerry Wood’s coming back? Nooooooo!
3. Dog-face soldier
Baseball’s rivalry week wouldn’t be complete if this pup here didn’t have a rival too. Randy Johnson, you’re mine!
4. In other words, shaddap
Alex “trade me” Brown backed up Mark Anderson at Bears mini-camp. Lovie Smith says they all “can play.” Translation: Anybody else want a trade?
5. Alexander the grateful
Brown reiterated, “I love the team. … I definitely love playing here.” Translation: “I take it back! I take it back!”
6. Freedom rung
The Sky opened the WNBA season with a loss to the Liberty. Does that mean we have the freedom to ignore them?
7. Tune out
I just know LeBron James better make the NBA Finals, because the other teams have about as much star power as The CW.
8. Claymates
Roger Federer finally stopped Rafael Nadal’s winning streak on clay at 81. To that I say, who, who and what?
9. Speaking of tennis …
Illinois upset No. 2 Ohio State in the postseason. Tennis and beer pong may be the only sports where that statement will ever be true.
