Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Chicago

from the Carl Sandburg poem "Chicago"

...And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:

Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.

Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities;

Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness...

Star-divide


Let's win this thing.

Very Nice
I like that alot.  But maybe we should save the Carl Sandburg mojo for the World Series.

Sandburg Mojo
Maybe, but we gotta get there first.

I promise that when we get to the series, I'll find us some more literary mojo that we can work.

Great players make great plays.

A reminder
You said:  "I promise that when we get to the series, I'll find us some more literary mojo that we can work."

I love literary mojo.  Can't wait.
