COLD FACTS Despite its name, the likelihood of catching a 'cold' is not related to the weather or season. Instead, a cold is the inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by a viral infection. The viruses that cause colds ( of which there are some 200 different kinds) are spread largely through hand-to­ hand contact or contact with inanimate objects. Once cold­ sufferers touch their noses, the viruses spread by touching other people or touching objects (such as telephones) that others come in contact with. Previously healthy people then get colds by bringing their contaminated hands up to their own noses, eyes, or mouths. While tt seems that more people get colds in cold weather, this is only true because bad weather brings people indoors and in closer contact with others. Hint: Antihistamines help stop nasal secretions and thereby indirectly l l help stop the spread of colds.

  • Green Roars in Book, but Still Leaves out Some Key Cubs Angles
    Green roars in book, but still leaves out some key Cubs angles By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, September 13th, 2013 Dallas Green always had a voice so pow- erful you could hear him before you could see him. Those vocal cords emoted loud and clear over the long-distance line from his Mary- land farm. He hardly needed wires to make the connection. At 79, “Big D” sounds the same as he did in his voluble tenure as the franchise-changing Cubs general manager from 1981 to 1987. And if you think one year away from be- ing an octogenarian has played tricks with his memory, well, you don’t know the 6- foot-5 Green. Nearly three decades have passed since he shook the Cubs to the foundations, and paid the price for suc- cess not imprinted every year with his job. Like the elephant, he has not forgotten the Michigan Avenue suits who ardently wooed him, then pulled the quick hook on him after a little more than half a decade. Dallas Green may be all-white-haired on top at 79, but his voice is still heard loud and clear. Photo “Honestly, the Tribune (Co.) in terms of credit The SABR Office. money and position advancement was very good to me,” Green said. “Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish what I started or enjoy the possibility of going to more playoffs and World Series. That has stuck in my craw pretty much. “It was my first experience with corporate ownership (after working for the Carpenter family-owned Phillies).

    APRIL 23rd TOLEDO (11-4) at PAWTUCKET (8-6) 4:35 pm Doubleheader G1 Toledo Mud Hens LHP Blaine Hardy (1-0, 0.79) vs. Pawtucket Red Sox RHP Chandler Shepherd (0-0, 8.31) G2 Toledo Mud Hens LHP Josh Turley (1-0, 3.00) vs. Pawtucket Red Sox LHP Josh Smith (0-0, 1.42) Two for Monday - The Pawtucket Red Sox – coming off a 3-game sweep of the Gwinnett Stripers this weekend – continue their 7- game homestand tonight with a make-up doubleheader against the Toledo Mud Hens (AAA-Detroit) at 4:35 pm at McCoy Stadium. This will start a 4-game set (in 3-nights) against the Mud Hens who come to town with the best record in the entire International League at 11-4. Tonight’s twinbill is the first of the season for Pawtucket. Please note…the PawSox will be the home team in Game 1 today while Toledo will act as the “home team” in the nightcap. Tonight’s doubleheader was necessitated by a rain out in Toledo just over a week ago (Sunday, April 15) in what was to be the finale of that 4-game series in Ohio. Double Your Pleasure – Pawtucket played in 11 doubleheaders last season which tied with Rochester and Syracuse for the most in the league in 2017. The Sox posted three sweeps, were swept five times, and also were involved in three doubleheader splits last year. Pawtucket was swept in their final twinbill of last season at Louisville on August 15 by 3-1 & 5-1 scores.

Our thoughts and hearts 4 hold great empathy and sorrow for his loved ones; and 5 WHEREAS, James “Lou” Gorman was born on February 18, 1929, into a South 6 Providence neighborhood that was just beginning to reel from the effects of the Great Depression. 7 The son of a fire department battalion chief, Gorman worked to bring in extra money to his 8 family by delivering the Providence Journal and selling popcorn at Providence Reds hockey 9 games; and 10 WHEREAS, His natural athletic abilities made him a star athlete on La Salle Academy’s 11 football team before he graduated in 1947 and embarked on a brief professional baseball career 12 with the Providence Grays of the Class-B New England League. Lou suited up for 16 games and 13 had one hit in 28 at-bats. He continued his education and earned degrees from Stonehill College 14 and Bridgewater State College before joining the Navy.
