And the Award Goes To...

With 35 home runs, 97 RBI and a .296 batting average, Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin is in the running for the American League Most Valuable Player this season. Every time he steps up to the plate, the fans start chanting 'MVP'. The thought of Quentin receiving the award is on the minds of Sox fans and his fellow teammates. "As [read more...]

Leaving It All Behind... For The NFL

Think about your favorite sport. Is your love for that sport strong enough to drop everything for a once in a lifetime experience? It is for twenty-eight-year-old Adam Goldstein.   This British NFL fanatic plans on traveling away from the UK and across the US to attend 35 live NFL games in 17 weeks, in hopes of breaking the world record. Goldstein's [read more...]

Just Google It

I've realized that I was a little quick to judge when it came to the Erin Andrews situation and I do feel bad about it and I think we shouldn't focus on her so much anymore. Having said that and leaving her out of the picture, I think the main problem is how women are looked at in this profession. [read more...]

Let's Get This Straight

After reading over some comments on the article, Erin Andrews Blasts Women Back to the Stone Age (http://sportsonmymind.com/2008/08/04/erin-andrews-blasts-women-back-to-the-stone-age/#comment-8345), I've learned that people are starting to get the wrong idea. We all know that I highly disagree with the choices Andrews made that day in the clubhouse, but it wasn't all about her attire. Sun-Times reporter Joe Cowley asked, Seriously, what is [read more...]

A "model" Sports Reporter

It never fails, people out there are just making it harder and harder for me,(and other respectable female sports reporters) to be taken seriously. First of all, let me give a big thanks to ESPN's Erin Andrews. I read a column today about Andrews' little modeling show in the Cubs Clubhouse. (http://www.pjstar.com/sports_columnists/x1768857641/Nadel-Blonde-bombshell-cant-distract-red-hot-Cubs). Apparently Andrews brought out the pumps, lost some skirt [read more...]

Could It Be?

That's right, the thoughts and ideas from my last post could possibly come true. White Sox GM Kenny Williams announced today that the trade for Ken Griffey Jr. is official. Nick Masset an Danny Richar will go to Cincinnati. The Sox outfield is pretty stable as it is, with Carlos Quentin's 28 home runs and 83 RBIs, along with Jermaine [read more...]

Switch to Swish

The Sox are starting to head back into a slump, which always sucks. However, last time this started Paul Konerko was put on the DL and Nick Swisher took first Base. The Sox were much better off that way and I think we should keep Swisher at first. Chances are slim though, considering how much they pay Konerko to stay [read more...]

Dye Hard

A former basketball player, football player, a leisurely golfer and now major league baseball player, Chicago White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye is an athlete in every sense of the word. Dye grew up in Vacaville, Calif. and said that baseball was just his sport. He said it helped growing up in California because the weather made it possible for baseball [read more...]

'Fragrant Meat' Sent To The Doghouse During Olympics

For the 2008 Beijing Olympics, athletes will have to be extremely careful of what they eat. I heard on the news yesterday that a lot of food in Beijing could test athletes positive for steroid use. Another thing they have to look out for is Dog. That's right, Chinese restaurants have been ordered to take Dog or Fragrant Meat or [read more...]

Quit Crying and Play Ball

Teammates are going to fight every now and then; it's a known fact. However it just seems to me that Orlando Cabrera is searching for too much attention when things don't go his way. It doesn't matter if it takes some crying to the press box for giving him an error or having a temper tantrum in the dugout. Twice this [read more...]
