The 35th Street Review

Everything you need to know in time for this Election Day.

A few words on the upcoming anniversary of the last great moment in Chicago sports.

In which your barstool GM explains how to turn the Sox into a juggernaut in three easy steps, based on research done by patrons of the friendly neighborhood watering hole. Seriously.

An underperforming centerfielder is not necessarily a death sentence, as long as you trade him for a franchise cornerstone and augment him with a Hall of Famer.

Reasons to be optimistic about the return of Paul Konerko this afternoon. Numerically and offensively speaking, of course.

.189/.299/.407: Nick Swisher’s batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage since the All-Star Break. Dude could use a day or two off.

.373/.467/.686: Konerko’s line for the past 28 days. Not too shabby.

11-for-49, 6 BBs: Alexei Ramirez’ showing for September so far. Theoretically, this can only improve.

3: Number of times backup-of-a-backup catcher Paul Phillips was drafted before signing. Thumbs up for sticking to your guns, Other Paulie.

.207: Juan Uribe’s average on an 0-2 count. And, you know, there are only a few of those. Right? Right?
