Rachael Ray at Wrigley Field

August 22, 2009 by diana

Here's a recent quote from the Vineline Blog...

"While the Cubs were away in Hollywood, a little TV personality came to Wrigleyville.

And as she stood next to several Chicago firefighters while welcoming a crowd of several hundred, The Food Network's queen of convenient cooking, Rachael Ray, looked tiny! "

How Aramis Ramirez went about shoulder repair...

July 27, 2009 by diana

Interesting article on how they went about repairing the Cub's star third basemen's completely dislocated left shoulder in two months.

The article is much more interesting than the quote I'm sharing...

Ramirez underwent a specific program to accelerate his return.

"The first thing you have to do is reduce pain and inflammation," O'Neal said. "Until those are gone, you can't do any strengthening program because it hurts too much to do anything. So the first two or three weeks of his injury were pain and inflammation reduction."

To do that, intially lots of ice and rest and some pain meds. Anti-inflammatories were also prescribed.

1983 All Star Game in Chicago at Comiskey on MLB Network

June 7, 2009 by diana

The MLB network is airing highlights from old All Star Games including the one at Comiskey in 1983 that I attended with a friend.

I'll have to watch it closely to see if we show up anywhere in it.

I remember photographing the marching band and later some old timer baseball players on a golf cart. I wonder who they were...

Hope I can find those pictures some day.

If you were in that Marching Band, write to me in case I find those pictures.

I'd love to view more photos from this game. If you know of a site with more pics from the 1983 MLB All Star Game at Comiskey, please let me know!
