Ofman: It’s Time For Replay In Baseball
If baseball truly wants to take the next step forward, bleed technology for all it can give. Just make sure you get it right.
That’s All She Wrote: Anyone Seen Gabe Carimi?
Carlos Zambrano’s signed a minor league deal with the Phillies and the Liberty Bell just asked to be placed in the witness protection program. Speaking of witness protection, anyone seen Gabe Carimi lately?
Ofman: White Sox Falling Apart Across The Board
The White Sox are becoming an afterthought.
That’s All She Wrote: Blackhawks Advance, Bulls In Trouble
The chants of “Corey, Corey” cascaded from every corner of the United Center. As focused as Corey Crawford was, it didn’t escape him that the crowd that used to get on him now loves him.
Ofman: Depleted Bulls Will Be Remembered
Maybe these Bulls will go on a similar, yet shorter, journey. Either way, they will be remembered for their hustle, desire and will to overcome, just the way the 76-77 Bulls did.
That’s All She Wrote: Struggling Bulls All But Out
OK. The first person who dares compare Luol Deng’s serious illness to Scottie Pippen’s migraine will be asked to leave this column immediately.
Ofman: What Really Is TWTW?
Like it or not, sabermetrics are here to stay and likely to be amended, and often. I would like to suggest the Hawk takes some time to understand it. Give it chance. Use it from time to time.
That’s All She Wrote: Phil Emery Better Be Right
It’s a playoff game and I’m wondering how a team misses 25-of-26 shots and then I see Brooklyn scrawled on the jersey.
Ofman: Cubs’ Rebuild Going Nowhere Until Pitching Is Addressed
If pitching is the name of the game, Theo and the boys need to buy into it.
That’s All She Wrote: The Bears Will Finish 8-8, Right?
The strength of the Bears schedule is 16th. That translates into 8-8, right?
Ofman: Baseball Needs To Make Up Its Mind On The DH
I love baseball. My affair with the game goes back over 50 years when I was child emulating longtime broadcaster Jack Brickhouse on the gravel field of Hibbard Elementary School in Albany Park.
That’s All She Wrote: A Goat’s Head? Seriously?
A goat’s head? Seriously?
Ofman: Rose Should Not Come Back This Season
If you want to play alongside Daequan Cook, Malcolm Thomas, Vladimir Radmanovic and Marquis Teague, be my guest. Please contact your insurance agent first, or at least your brother Reggie.
That’s All She Wrote: Wait, Marmol Got A Save?
By George Ofman- (CBS) I can’t believe it. Carlos Marmol got a save. Of course, several Cubs fans suffered heart attacks while others jumped out basement windows. So let’s set the numbers: two games, 1.1 […]
Sources: Fight Over Video Screen Size Holding Up Wrigley Renovation Talks
With the Cubs’ self-imposed Monday deadline quickly approaching for a deal on $300 million in renovations for Wrigley Field, the major sticking point appears to be the size of a Jumbotron-style video screen the team wants for the stadium.
Ofman: Little Brings Optimism With Chicago Baseball
Does anyone really think the Sox will be playing meaningful games in October and the Cubs, meaningful games in June?
Ofman: Te’o Should Not Be Urlacher’s Replacement
Wow, would this be a mistake.
Ofman: Leave My NCAA Tournament Alone
People who never saw a single minute of a single game fill out a bracket sheet even if they use darts, consult a tarot card reader or go with school colors.
Ofman: The Real Rose Rehab
Everyone is offering an opinion on Derrick Rose. It wouldn’t shock me if Jack Nicholson or the Dali Lama penned a thought on the Bulls fragile franchise star.
Ofman: Some Records Aren’t Meant To Be Broken
The old saying is “records are meant to be broken.” Some simply aren’t.
