The math is so easy, even Phil Rogers can figure it out. But he thinks it doesn’t matter if the Sox win the wild card or the division. He’s only right if he thinks it doesn’t matter because they’re a playoff non-factor either way. This team is dead in the water, even if it floats to the playoffs.
For one glorious day, at least, the Bears could do no wrong.
Apparently the Cubs are still playing. That’s so cute. Looks like they got to witness the Cardinals win the Central in person and will get to see the Astros win the wild card, too. What a fine season for Dusty and his boys. Way to go. You should be so proud. As for the thing with Chris Carpenter and Dusty Baker? If only they could have battled to their simultaneous deaths.
Charlie Weis says the MSU loss was his fault. It was a great game, either way. I hope he realizes this is the only season where he can lose these kinds of games and not have burning dog poo all over his front yard.
Big deal. The Knicks want Eddy Curry. They have nothing to trade for him, and no cap room to go after him in the offseason. Other than that, this is a huge story. Whatever.
Mariotti puts down the doughnut to get cautiously giddy about the Bears.
Look, I like Greg Maddux, but does anybody really care about this streak of consecutive 15-win seasons? Isn’t 15 just kind of an ambiguously important number anyway? I think the fact he’s won 28 games since coming back to play for the hapless Cubs is impressive on it’s own.

To me, the thing that’s been the most fun about watching the Indians’ surge is that for whatever reason for about six weeks straight their games have started almost every day, before the Sox game has. So the Sox sit and watch as the Indians throw another win up day after day. In Cleveland, they’re finally getting excited about what they might actually pull off.

Sporting events would be easier to listen to, if I left the booth to be with my dad.
Did you like how my partner was consistently going out of his way to defend Joey Harrington? Yeah, ex-QB turned analyst; that’s not TOO transparent.
Also, I know the Deadbirds were in town and so I may have gotten FOX to dispatch me to Chicago, but do you mean to tell me that yesterday’s game was really the #1 broadcast?
I am insufferable assbag, BTW.
The Sox are 40-37 since taking the first game against the Cubs at the Cell, not 40-47.
“anybody know what rhymes with pussy?”
Uh…. no.
Yes Joe, you are an insufferable assbag.
This comment brought to you by the 2005 Chicago White Sox:
Win. Or suffer the biggest collapse in baseball history.
“To open on the road, in the biggest NFL stadium in front of a very loud crowd and against one of the NFL’s defenses is not how you’d draw it up if you had a choice”
As opposed to playing against one of the WNBA’s defenses?
FYC!
The 93 cart was not put in action yesterday. Me and my ankle walked off the field.
The only thing that comes to mind when I think of pussy (besides Angie Everhart) is the WHITE SOX!!!! Man you guy’s fucking suck!!! I mean, say what you will about the Cubs but we didnt fuck away a 15 game lead in our division in just over a month! CHOKE BITCHES! CHOKE!!!!
I’m unfunny, but at least I’m taking an unfunny swipe at the South Siders:
Honesty compels me to agree with Andy. That pass from Orton to Moose at the goal line was a “laser” folks.
I was appalled when I saw them run out in the whites but honestly, if they keep playing like this they can wear pink with purple polka-dots for all we care.
You’ll see the Bears in me soon.
B. Leftwich does look like a fatass gary coleman! Good one #9!
The fact is, we probably won’t lose our lead. Even if we do, our record will be good enough to take us into the playoffs as a wild card. What you are seeing now, is how good we really are. We all played over our heads, and have since come back to earth. Truth is, we can’t beat good teams. In the playoffs, you face good teams, so expect us home in 3 or 4 games.
Dolan  No Friday summation from the Dwyer/Dolan Wrigley Summit? I’d have thought a protracted story about Dwyer weeping for his team’s loss like Tony LaRussa after being forced to watch 5 hours of dogs suffering in New Orleans would be on these pages. At the very least, you could have mentioned how Kelly did at the Manhole after the game.
15 wins isn’t an important number to me, because I’ll never get there.
It appears that I forgot to shave underneath my lower lip for SI.com picture day.
Either that, or I was tossing salad with Apex, and I forgot to use a napkin.
What? No comment on how only Olin Kreutz heard the snap count to start the fourth quarter giving the Lions a free play to maul Orton?
Geez. You’ve gone soft, Andy.
Olin wasn’t the only one to hear the snap count. He was the only one who didn’t know what it was. When the center snaps it and nobody moves, it means the center is the one who’s wrong.
But I’m a Pro-Bowler!
For a good laugh, read me.
We’d like to see the Yankees be the odd team out, as further proof that trying to buy a championship is an inexact science.
One dude in a White Sox jersey, being choked by another dude in an Indians jersey would be fung mang… that is as long as they actually choke.
This is a lot like 1969. If the Indians come through, you could honestly say that they won it. What are they, .800 over the past few weeks? That’s getting IT done, mister man.
And then, he touched me in my special place…he told me not to tell anyone, and that it was my fault…is this gonna make things weird for me?
Good to see Sloth posted a couple minutes before #28. It greatly increases the chances that he’s still the only creep who thinks children being raped passes for comedy.
Go Colts!
