I was on the death watch earlier today with a post at The Cub Reporter bidding adieu to former Cubs who passed in 2008.

On a lighter note, here is a link to the latest information on the NHL's Winter Classic scheduled for New Year's Day at Wrigley. The article includes a much niftier video than the dreary local news footage I linked to, week before last.

It turns out the Blackhawks won't be in a position to tie the Red Wings for first place in the NHL Central when the clubs play on Thursday, since the Hawks got whitewashed and saw their team record, nine-game winning streak end tonight in Detroit.
