Welcome, Octavio
Any Kansas City Royals veteran is a sure bet to succeed on the South Side. Just look at Mike MacDougal. Uhhh, scratch that.
Age is just a number
At first, I thought Octavio Dotel’s name was a reference to his age. But he’s only 34. Which, of course, is about 80 in baseball years.
International relations
The Sox also signed Cuban slugger Alexei Ramirez. Great. First the Sox are in a civil war with the North Side. Now, they’ll be in a cold war with Fidel Castro.
How’d that work?
The Sox designated pitcher David Aardsma for assignment, the same David Aardsma they got in a trade with the Cubs. What don’t the Sox understand about the Cubs?
Get in the ring
When the Bulls face the Pacers at the United Center on Wednesday, will it be a basketball game or a boxing match? In either case, the Bulls will lose.
Just asking
If the Bulls clean house, let me suggest yours truly as the new mascot. Come on, I’m lovea-bull.

NBA star LeBron James (left) is unveiling a New York Yankees shoe called the Air Zoom LeBron V. Why not just go play for the Knicks already? Oh, I know why. They’re losers!
And so it begins …
There’s a big brouhaha over the photos of Tom Brady wearing a walking boot and then not wearing it. This, folks, counts as news.
Tick, tock
T-minus 11 days and counting until the Super Bowl. Don’t worry, folks, it’ll all be over soon.
