Gotta love Lou

One of the real fun things about being in Cubs camp is that I'm getting my fill of Lou-isms early.

New outfielder Xavier Nady? To Lou, he's "Nagy" - apparently related to former Indians hurler Charles.

Cubbie pitchers don't throw simulated games. To Lou, they're "assimilated" games.

Every other sentence begins with "Look ... " At least once a day, he sets up a thought with the word "Invariably ... "

Gotta love the guy.

On another note, my latest AP story was about fatty-turned-twiggy catcher Geo Soto. CHECK IT OUT.

Unlike U.S. pucksters, Marquette wins on road!

Can't believe the Olympics are over already. Why, it seemed like I started ignoring them just 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Did you see the BIG game yesterday? That's right: I'm talking about Marquette's win over Seton Hall, the Golden Warrior Eagles' third straight Big East overtime road victory. I'm starting to think Final Four. Of course, I'm also starting to think I'll win Powerball.
