In honor of actor Andy Garcia and his (unintentionally) hilarious reaction to Sofia (Mary Corleone) Coppola's death scene in "The Godfather, Part III."

Monday in 'Gil Thorp':
Coach Jockstrap: "Gil, why didn't you stop that fan that ran out onto the field?"
Gil: "He seemed harmless enough, coach. He just wanted to scatter his dog's ashes."
Coach Jockstrap: "That's not the right attitude, Gil! Suppose two lunatics run out onto the field to beat up a coach! Are you going to just stand there and let them?"

Yesterday's Tribune Headlines:
In the wake of the White Sox' potential release of Frank Thomas and the
impartial headline "Little Hurt in This Goodbye" followed by Morrissey, I
got to once again thinking about what life at the Trib might have been like
if they had owned the Cubs at the end of the 1950 season. I suspect we would've seen something like this:
Little Ache or Pain in This Goodbye
Sox set to release perennial griper Appling
"how could they do this while I'm injured?" whines petulant Sox SS.
In the Wake of the News: A look back at Appling's worst moments.
"I'm just miserable. I can't talk now, my throat's so sore."
That is what Luke Appling said to us on the afternoon of
April 16, 1940 in response to Bob Feller's Opening Day no-
hitter. Appling had just been a participant in baseball
history and all he could think about was himself, as usual.
Cub notes: Terwilliger, Smalley point way to brilliant future

"It was most certainly a White Sox fan" said Det. Lt. Tribster.
"Only a White Sox fan would do such a thing. Obviously they
are embarrassed to root for a team that fixed the World
Series, or at least they should be, and they want the rest
of the world to forget that it happened. We have many leads
and we are almost certain that it may even be the same guy
that killed the Wrigley ivy."
