Tonight: a very special That's So Cub!

"After allowing the game-tying home run to Pence, Cubs reliever Shawn Camp (0-1) balked in the decisive run with no outs in the 10th... Chicago pitchers combined for five wild pitches in the sixth inning, breaking the MLB regular season record."

D Battery Elected To Philadelphia Sports Hall Of Fame

PHILADELPHIA — A voting panel of journalists and prominent sports figures elected the D battery to the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Sunday, honoring the alkaline storage cell's many achievements in pelting players from visiting teams.

"The D battery is as synonymous with Philadelphia sports as intoxicated fistfights, cheering for a severely injured player, or intentionally vomiting on a child," said Philadelphia sportswriter Ray Didinger, adding that the Hall of Fame plans to install an interactive exhibit that allows children to throw batteries at life-size cutouts of rival athletes. "Whipping the D battery at opposing players, coaches, or dumbshit referees is a crucial part of the experience for Philly fans. No other projectile has had the same impact on Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, or 76ers games. The D battery is an icon, representing the very best of Philly."

New sammich at Cominsky

Sox to Offer Italian Beef/Sausage/Pork Chop/Bacon Sandwich

CHICAGO — Peanuts and Cracker Jacks it ain't.

The Chicago White Sox have introduced a slew of new menu items at U.S. Cellular Field (I still call it Cominsky - ed.), including the monstrous Winning Ugly Grand Slam sandwich.

Named in honor of the 1983 "winning ugly" squad, the sandwich consists of Italian beef, an Italian sausage patty and a pork chop topped with bacon and covered with giardiniera, sautéed onions and peppers, all stuffed into an eight-inch muffalatta bread roll.
