Roll Call

Padres, Chargers , Illini ... rise and report!

Here is a brief recap as to where my teams stand on this fine Monday in February, in the year of our Lord 2009.

1. The Padres

Pitchers and catchers report in scant days. Mark Prior is an optimist. Jeff Moorad is the new man in charge. Sandy Alderson is packing his belongings. Adrian Gonzalez is hitting jonrons in the Caribbean Series. Jake Peavy plans to pitch in the WBC. Matt Bush is but a memory. Cliffy Floyd is playing the role of Tony Clark.

2. The Chargers

Darren Sproles is shopping himself around the League. The stadium deal languishes. The '63 team used roids. LT and AJ have muzzled up. Draft talk can now begin in earnest. Linebacker? D Lineman? Running Back?

3. Illini Pigskin

The class of 2013 is signed and ready. Zooker never sent a schollie offer to Kraig Appleton. Spring game will give Mike Schultz first chance to show his stuff.

4. Illini Hoop


Made Purdue look silly in Champaign on Sunday. Looked clueless themselves in Madison on Thursday. Legion looking lost. Keller flashing get-to-the basket skills. Mike Davis back on a double double pace.
