Thanks to 312Sports.com, the B-Squared Show, and especially the hosts–Bedo and Bernfield–for having me on their radio show this morning.  They first had me on as a guest shortly after the Sombrero was launched in March 2010, and it was great to get back on the air and talk baseball with them today.

Today’s discussion focused on the Chicago White Sox and whether they still have a legitimate chance of making the playoffs.  Want to know what I think about the Sox chances?

Be sure to check out the audio segment from today’s show:

Yes, you read that correctly.  Prior to Wednesday night’s game against the visiting Atlanta Braves, NHL superstar Sidney Crosby took batting practice at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, and impressively failed to humiliate himself.  In fact, he did quite the opposite. Sid went yard.

He turned on a pitch, lining into the right field bleachers where it then one hopped a stair, and bounced out of the stadium.

I will be making my second appearance on the B-Squared Show on Thursday morning, at 10:30am, cst.

The B-Squared Show is an online radio show, hosted by the Chicago sports site 312Sports.com, that covers all things sports but with an emphasis on Chicago teams.

Whether you are a baseball fan or not, I highly encourage everyone to tune in to the B-Squared Show on weekdays from 10am-noon.  The show’s hosts, Bedo and Bernfield, always have a great variety of  guests, offer excellent analysis, and in general, do a tremendous job day in and day out.

I’d like to thank them in advance for having me on the show again and I will hopefully have the audio available later in the day.

On Tuesday night Trevor Hoffman reached the remarkable milestone of 600 saves when the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 at Miller Park.  Hoffman has always been regarded as a class act and has solidified himself as a Hall of Famer well before last night’s achievement.

The Golden Sombrero congratulates Trevor Hoffman on his unparalleled, 600th career save.

Here is a classic Sports Illustrated cover from May 13, 2002:

As if walking off the field under his own power didn’t make him seem like a total badass, Logan Morrison proved how tough he really is by starting both games of Monday’s double-header, less than 24 hours after being drilled in the face by teammate Emilio Bonifacio’s foul ball.

Late last night I reflected on what happened to Morrison by invoking my memories of how a similar incident ended the career of Juan Encarnacion in 2007.  Thankfully(and surprisingly), Morrison escaped the scary incident without any serious injuries- just a golf ball sized lump beneath his left eye and some serious seam marks.

Based upon the video replays of Morrison wearing a foul ball to the face, and considering the photo(pictured above) that he posted on Twitter last night, I expected that he might hit the 15-Day DL, or at the least be held out of Monday’s games- I mean come on, the guy took a batted ball to the face!
