Play-by-play, I heard it on the radio

This afternoon, I had the privilege of listening to Pat Hughes and Ron Santo call the first Cubs Spring Training game on WGN Radio. Thanks to computer geeks like Bill Gates, fans from all over the world can now listen to their home team's broadcasts online. This is definitely a dream come true for baseball nuts such as myself who no longer live close to their favorite teams. The Cubbies even managed to squeak out a victory today, 2-1 over the Oakland A's. A big high-five goes out to Aramis Ramirez for his 2-run homer. GO CUBS!

Speaking of Ron Santo, I'd like to know if the Veteran's Committee is suffering from brain damage due to prolonged tobacco use. How in the hell do you not elect anyone to the Hall of Fame two years in a row? Ronnie is more than deserving as were several other candidates. This old boy's club needs a history lesson as well as a stepladder to get off their high horse.

Congratulations to Coach Sudbrook on his 400th win with St. Bonaventure Baseball! You are my hero, Coach. GO BONNIES!
