1. Holey Foley
The Blackhawks apparently are bringing back fan-favorite Pat Foley to the TV booth. I don’t know what’s more unbelievable: That the Hawks have fans or that home games actually will be aired on TV next season.
2. Bad hair day
Sox players Nick Swisher, John Danks and Toby Hall will dye their facial hair pink for Mother’s Day. Sorry, that’s not gonna hide the “dirty” now associated with the Sox.
3. Why not?
Just buy a razor, guys, and shave the stuff off. Isn’t that what Mom always told you? Well, mine at least. Can you imagine how I looked hairless?
4. Bleep this
I wonder: If people talked to Ozzie the way he talks to everyone else, including his players, do you think he’d like it?
5. He said it
After the Cubs handed the Reds a win on Monday, manager Lou Piniella said this, among other things: “Anyway, it’s over with. Done.” Clip that out and save it, people.
6. How’s that working?
But everything will be OK for the Cubs once Alfonso Soriano gets back. Oh, wait.
7. Wake-up call
Wednesday’s Cubs game starts at 11:35 a.m. I’m usually getting into bed around then.
8. He’s the man
Kobe Bryant won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award. I adhere to the “good things happen to good people” credo, but I just might have to abandon that.
9. Endorsement?
Hillary Clinton visited driver Sarah Fisher at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday. Good thing they don’t euthanize in auto racing.
FIVE THINGS …
… other ways the White Sox are honoring their mothers:
– Flower vases replace blow-up dolls
– No cursing: For one day, at least
– Change name to Pink Sox
– Players are in by 6 p.m. for dinner
– If they strike out, players are sent to the clubhouse without dessert
