Alright, so here's the deal. I've got a mid-90s Nike authentic Blackhawks jersey hanging in my closet. The problem is that it's blank, and I've decided that I'm going to get it customized. The question is, whose name/number should I get? I've basically narrowed it down to Tony Amonte, Alexei Zhamnov, and Eric Daze. I would go with Chris Chelios but my brother already has a Cheli, and it'd just feel kind of weird to essentially have the same jersey. Help me out!

Well, I'm home alone and unfortunately sick with the flu (since Saturday!), so I'm killing time one of the best ways I know; surfing eBay! I was searching for Cubs jerseys since my Greg Maddux home from 2004 is getting kind of small on me, and I was thinking about which Cubs jersey best suits me. So I'd like to get all of your opinions! (these opinions won't help me decide what jersey to get, I'm simply curious.)

Personally, I used to be a fan of the 1970s pajama tops since I'm in love with just about every powder blue jersey I see, but recently my tastes have gone towards the 1984 road...

I was visiting the Braves SBN website, http://www.talkingchop.com/, and the most recent entry says "Be sure to check back around 11:30 AM Eastern time for an exciting announcement right here at TalkingChop.com!" Could the author of the post know something about a certain shortstop that we don't know yet?

guess this means that the Cubs have finally figured out that a playoff bid is a longshot. i personally think this is a good idea, as it gives kerry more of a chance to heal, plus opportunities to develop our younger BP pitchers in the majors.
