White Sox slugger Jim Thome @ Oprah show w/ Dr. Oz

White Sox slugger Jim Thome and his wife were in the audience for the Oprah show last February. Dr. Oz was the featured guest.
This program re-aired on Monday.

The Oprah show would put Jim on camera during the more "female" medical discussions. I'm not quoting those here. Jim said he brought his wife to the Oprah show for Valentines Day - sort of a last chance thing before spring training begins.

Anyway, I read in the Chicago Tribune today that Jim Thome and his wife became the proud parents of a baby girl last month, 9 months or so after the Oprah show. :)

Harry Caray @ Leno show

Did anyone see last night's Leno rerun?

It was from 05/03/1996. The Leno show was in Chicago then.

The "after the monologue" comedy segment had Jay traveling around Chicago on a scavanger hunt to find such items as a fat free dessert (twice obtained from a tiny Oprah), a steak (from the Lincoln Park Zoo lion cage), a beer (swiped from Harry Caray at Wrigley Field), and I don't recall what else.

Michael Jordan was one of the guests. Do you recall what the Bulls were doing that week?

Chris O'Donnell made a cameo appearance when the Leno show pointed out that Chris was in a McDonalds commercial as a teenager. [BTW, was Chris a former White Sox batboy in 1978 or so? I seem to recall something about that, but can't find that info online yet.]

Anyway, I thought someone here might enjoy hearing about this show.

Note: I'm still hoping they'll re-air the August 28, 2005 game. That was the day the Cubs retired Ryne Sandberg's jersey number and then beat the Marlins 14-3.

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network : Cubs/Nationals game July 3, 2005

The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network is also airing a Cubs game from the past.

This will not be a winning game for the Cubbies, as the MASN is a team owned regional sports network that airs the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles games.

Since there are Cubs fans everywhere, I thought I'd share this listing.

Nationals Classics

"2005: Washington Nationals at Chicago Cubs"
From July 3, 2005.

Airdate: Tuesday, December 18, 2007
1:00 pm - 4:30 pm, MASN

Sport Science - Cheap Shots


Fox Sports airs a program on "Sports Science".

An episode called "Cheap Shots" aired last night. It will probably air again.

Sport Science
Episode 4
Cheap Shots: What does a Cheap Shot feel like in Sports?

Quote:

There are rules in sports for a reason. And in this episode of Sport Science, we will show you what would happen without them. We will test what the consequences of being hit in the head with a bean ball without a helmet on are. What does getting low blowed in boxing really feel like? And, oh yeah, being hit square in the head with baseball bat or hockey stick really hurts.

Lyric Opera of Chicago stars sing for the Cubs

"Diminished Capacity" Alda/ Broderick movie with Cubs theme

Diminished Capacity
Bottom Line: A comedy about memory loss that is utterly forgettable.
By Kirk Honeycutt

Jan 23, 2008

Sundance Film Festival

quote from review...

Quote:

One of Uncle Rollie's obsessions proves downright intelligent. He possesses a rare baseball card, dating back to the last Cubs' World Championship, that is worth a fortune. So Slow and Slower take off for a Chicago baseball memorabilia show to sell the card.
