Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome and the Chicago Cubs reached a preliminary agreement Tuesday on a $48 million, four-year contract.

What about XRay Hipp?

And don't worry the poor bastard doesn't know that he just screwed himself by signing with the yuppies...another one bites the dust (see Greg Maddux, Derek Lee, Jon Garland etc etc etc).

Hofstra makes me sad - the "Flying Dutchmen" was one of the coolest team names in all of sports, and then they have to go all PC and change it to the "Pride" (yeah, lions, right)...

Nope... it has to include a pop culture reference from pre 1984, and it must be repeated ad nauseum...

honest to God I can't stand Chris Berman, his shtick is so old that an entire generation of people have been born since most of his bits were culturally relevant.

Nope...IMO the worst college nickname is....

ELON PHOENIX.

Now...I understand the reasoning behind "Phoenix", but for the over 90% of college sports fans who don't know where Elon is, they probably hear the nickname and think "Arizona".
