I spent a week in Chicago this summer at a hotel a block away from Quigley. What a beatiful building. <BR/><BR/>Remember La Crosse Holy Cross? What about Milwaukee De Sales? Oneida Sacred Heart? St. Nazianz Salvatorian? All were minor seminaries in Wisconsin that have closed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-78221852499272333752007-09-25T15:13:00.000-05:002007-09-25T15:13:00.000-05:00The stretched out Springer.

I recall a recent game where Geoff Jenkins got tossed for just looking at the third-base umpire after he called him out on a check third strike. <BR/><BR/>Cubs could still collapse, but it's unlikely. Just too many games the Brewers gave away this year. Too many. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
