Yesterday was bitter cold in Chicago, but for an hour or so I was in the Valley enjoying baseball, or rather I had three different games on the radio and was imagining I was there. While I wish one of the radio crews would have described the scene and what the Arizona skies looked like, I almost felt like I was there.

And luckily I met a friend for an early dinner instead of having to watch my alma mater lose a game on TV. For whatever reason, the Cubs, Sox and Brewers were not on the radio today, but the Cubs were one of two free games streamed on mlb.com. Because of my depravity, I caught a few innings including some God awful baserunning on the Cubs part. The third base coach had a horrific afternoon. Bring back waving Wendell!
