Bob "Rapid Robert" Feller died early Thursday morning of acute lukemia; Feller won 266 games, threw the only Opening Day no-hitter, led his league in strikeouts 7 times, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962; But, perhaps his most impressive stat was throwing 12 one-hitters, a record he shares with Nolan Ryan; Feller was 92.....The Cubs should have a solid 7,8,9 if they can ever bring a lead into those innings; Kerry Wood agreed to a 1-year deal with the Cubs for a mere $1.5 million; as far as team loyalty goes, the Cubs have not seen it like this since Mark Grace.....On the other side of town, the White Sox will try out Chris Sale next year as Bobby Jenks dons red socks instead (the deal is estimated at 2yrs/$12million).....Magglio Ordonez took $10 million for one more year with Detroit.....Don't bother driving up to Minneapolis for the Monday Night Football match-up between the Bears and Vikings -- sources say that the University of Minnesota stadium where the game will be held can't even hold everyone with tickets to the game.....The lowly Wild fell to the lowly Senators 3-1; at one point, Kyle Brodziak put the Wild up 2-1, but the goal was waved off, and Nick Foligno gave the Senators a 2-1 9 seconds into the power play.....It looked like the Blues and Kings were headed to a 4-4 overtime when Alex Steen netted one with 2:53 remaining in the game; the Blues also added an empty-netter to win 6-4.....The Bengals-Browns game will be blacked out this Sunday; it's the first time the game hasn't sold out in 30 years.....carry on.
