Fred Mitchell gets all the good scoops, including the one about the nameless Cubs’ jerseys. Whee!

Madison Square Gordon? It’s cute. It works. Whatever.

Captain Kirk got off to a bad start, but he outplayed Stephon Marbury in the second half. Actually, the rest of the Knicks helped him do that.

Gordon gets all the attention, but Luol is the best Bulls’ rookie.

All of this talk about the Illini going undefeated is pure folly. Though, I think they’ll win at Wisconsin. If Michigan State doesn’t shoot free throws with both hands around their necks Sunday, they’d have done it.

Mike Kiley’s still a dope. In this missive he says the Cubs can’t sign Magglio Ordonez unless they trade Sammy (that’s pure crap), says that Neifi is an offensive force (for who, the opponents?) and openly yearns to give Sammy an opened mouth kiss at Spring Training.

Mariotti puts down the doughnut to praise the Bulls and make a Kirstie Alley reference. Huh? If you’re to make a funny with a second-string Cheers cast member, at least use Eddie LaBeck.

Kiley says “The Cubs want to tie up Ramirez.” I suppose in Wrigleyville, that’s not that unlikely.

The Dallas Morning News wonders if Alfonso Soriano’s one-year contract is the harbinger of a trade to the Astros so that the Rangers can sign Carlos Delgado?

If the Marlins can find the cash for Carlos Delgado, don’t you think they can find a way to fit Sammy into their payroll. You just know it’s where Sammy’s going to end up next year. So why not speed up the process?

Delgado has his list down to four teams, and three of them are potential Sammy Sosa destinations.
