Will Roberts “pardon” Squeaky before he leaves office, or will Squeaky live long enough?

I will need to apologize as I had not been watching the game and didn’t know that Baez injured himself the inning prior. Joe had no choice but to make the move. Let’s hope that the injury isn’t serious.

Wow. With what he thought was a comfortable lead Joe takes out Baez inserts Russell at short and the team fell apart. If they lose this one, it’s on Joe.

And just as I said that we go back to back!

Peoria once had the Par-A-Dice too.

We could use BZ back on the team. Some of the others are really pressing. He has so much versatility. Bote has shown he that he cannot be a everyday player. Also there has been talk of trading Almora for more pitching. I still feel AA is our best alternative as lead off. And his defensive skills are...

We sure could use Ben in the lineup. Using Heyward in the lead off spot is not working. He is batting less that .100 in his last 50 at bats. Average down to .243.

Zobrist filed first, claiming she cheated on him. It was worded differently but that was the jest of it. A day later she filed. She also hired a high profile lawyer. Looks like it’s game on.

Did Danville guard Houpt accept the preferred walk on from Bradley? I read where his dad resigned as head basketball coach so that he can watch his son and daughter play basketball.

Illini win regional, Tommy Kuhl finishes T-20 in his first NCAA appearance. Illini’s Feagles is medalist.

After day 2 Fighting Illini tied for 2nd team competition in Myrtle Beach. Top 5 teams advance after Wednesday. Morton’s Tommy Kuhl is 26th overall for the Illini at 146 or 2 over par.

That was a big time gutsy performance by Lester. The Bryant homer was huge. Not sure our bullpen could have held a one run lead after the 15 inning game.

I would think Michigan will stay with a current assistant this late in the game.

I did the math, but of course You know where I went to high school, so I hope you prove me wrong!

Everyone thought Javey’s ball was gone. Interesting strategy would have been to pinch hit for Chatwood with bases loaded and try to win game. Surprised Joe didn’t pull the strings and risk not having a pitcher. That would have been Joe’s way.

This will be three years in a row that Morton has lost the MI Sports trophy because of getting shutout in softball.

Great for Troy. He was my Reggie Miller look alike.

Yep, I just don’t understand baseball. Lead run on second and Javier swings at three not even in strike zone. The pitcher threw every pitch low and away. Again, I love Baez, but I think that he tries to carry the team when he just needs to play within himself.

I love Javier Baez, but pitchers continue to throw the outside and in the dirt pitch and he continues to swing at it. Until he can stay away from that pitch he just can’t be the MVP that people continue to call for. He needs to be a more disciplined hitter.

Joe just can’t stand not going to the bullpen. Kyle has another gem going and he elects to not let him finish it.

I don’t like Strop as a closer, never have and never will. No matter how many winning streaks, they will not win a division with him as a closer. You can bank on that.

I am not surprised. When an administrator from his school sits in the stand and tries to coach, then criticizes the officials, not too many would want to stick around. Sorry to say I witnessed that.

Saw where Danville shooting guard Houpt offered a PWO at BU? Would be the shooter we need. Coaches son.

I still don’t see BW seriously looking for a grad transfer. He wants players that he can control and that doesn’t translate to a one year player.

Morton has had to cancel the rest of their JV schedule this year due to low numbers. The team is down to 19 players in the entire program.
