“I thought we caught a real break,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “It hit him in a spot, part of the muscle, wasn’t sure if it nicked the elbow. But he said he felt good to throw, and I said, ‘You think you can?’ But when you make a throw, you make an alteration, that’s how you get hurt. I said, ‘You can be upset at me if you want to, but that’s not worth the risk.’ ”
“I’m not going to tip my hand on how we feel or talk about our offseason, but they’ve played exceptionally well,” Hoyer said. “By this point they’ve done it for quite a while and not only that, they’ve been really good teammates, and I feel like they’ve played really hard. So we’ll evaluate that this winter. I’m not going to declare anything at this point, that’s not what I would do. But it’s been fun to watch and I’m proud of them.”
“We’ve had a lot of homegrown guys contribute over the course of this season, and they’re all special in different ways, whether it’s a 21st-rounder like Danny Mendick, coming up and contributing to wins, or the numerous first-rounders that added to the success of this team,” general manager Rick Hahn said Thursday. “For whatever reason, Timmy’s just a little bit different, because we’ve all seen how far he’s grown. And different, I mean, in the sense of excitement and pride that we all take in seeing what he’s become, both as a player and a leader in that clubhouse.
Stefanski, of course, brought with him the offense the Minnesota Vikings have used for years. It starts with an outside zone-running scheme and goes from there. The Bears, while they’ve been very good in recent years, have been among the best in the league at stopping the run. Even last season without the premier run-stuffer Goldman, the defense slipped to only 15th in the league.
Her stable office is decorated with mementos from her career, with trophies, framed photos of her horses and husband with former Chicago Bears stars like Mike Ditka, and a lock of mane from Black Tie Affair. She used to tend a rose garden and hanging ferns around the stables, and kept goats that would stay in stables with the horses to keep them calm. At age 73, she still puts on her black boots and red cowboy hat to check on the horses every day, watching them work out and getting them ready to race.

Only one of the incidents, the 2013 case with the 16-year-old Michigan high school hockey player, resulted in charges. Aldrich, 38, of Hancock, Mich., is registered as a sex offender in Michigan because of that case. He is not a defendant in either lawsuit filed against the Blackhawks and has not been charged in connection with the Hawks player’s allegation.
Williams injured his ankle during an optional individual workout on Sept. 15, the team said. He is receiving daily treatment, but an injury this close to the start of training camp puts his season opener in jeopardy and, perhaps, opens up the starting power forward spot for the Bulls. If Williams’ recovery takes four weeks from when the injury happened, he would be on track for Oct. 13.
“I was disappointed last year that we didn’t win the division, but this is about where we thought where we were going to be,” Reinsdorf said. “The plan, we always say, we want to win multiple titles. The real plan is we want to be competitive year after year. It’s very hard to win one title, let alone multiple titles.
Both schools plan to incorporate their traditions, bands, cheerleaders and mascots into the game setting — including Wisconsin’s almost 23-year tradition of playing House of Pain’s “Jump Around” at the end of the third quarter during home games at Camp Randall Stadium.
