Here is a video of the Jake Fox home run from Sunday's game. This is a cool perspective from Waveland Avenue. The ballhawk filming the video actually makes the catch. Pretty neat to see how it all transpires out there.

Here are two fan video's from the seats that captured Aramis' clutch home run last night. I always enjoy checking out Youtube the day after to see what it was like from a fans perspective after big plays.

Wrigley Sod Renovation Underway (Pictures)

It looks like the permits have been issued. Ground was broken at Wrigley Field, and the interior is basically a pile of dirt right now. They say they want to have the project complete by early December.

Here are two pictures of the current progress. Looks like they have just ripped everything up today to get underway. It will be interesting to see the progress as the days go by.

Steve Stone in the Broadcast Booth Tonight

Starting tonight, for the next few days, Steve Stone will be filling in for Darren Jackson for the White Sox television broadcasts for the next few days.

I will be flipping back and forth between games tonight to see how Stone and Hawk work together. It is quite a mix of styles. It will also be nice to get some of Stone's insight during a game again.

I absolutely miss Steve Stone in the booth. I know a lot of Cubs fans have been down on him recently, but I would always look forward to his insight to the game and his dry sense of humor. Steve Stone on a WGN broadcast was Cubs baseball to me.

Len and Bob have grown on me, and I do enjoy their broadcasts. But if Brenly takes a coaching job, there is nobody I would want back in the booth more than Steve Stone.

I know Stoney didn't get along with the previous upper management. But I know that John McDonough is a huge fan of Stone, and probably would hire him in a heartbeat if Brenly goes back to the dugout.
