Should fans still hope for McCuddy's to make a return?
By Donna Vickroy firstname.lastname@example.com December 2, 2011 10:50PM
A photo of McCuddy's Tavern from the collection of Sheri Senese. The tavern was opened shortly before Comiskey Park opened in 1910 and was torn down in 1989 to make way for U.S. Cellular Field. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media

They say time heals all hurts but for Sheri Senese, the recent revelation that taxpayers paid for the swanky new bar across the street from U.S. Cellular Field has reopened old wounds.
Senese is the daughter of "Pudi" Senese, the last owner of McCuddy's Tavern near the old Comiskey Park. The tavern was torn down in 1989 to make room for U.S. Cellular Field.
The Oak Lawn grandmother and her family maintain that the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority promised in a handshake deal to rebuild their beloved tavern within three years of the new park's opening. Yet, 22 years and a lost lawsuit have proved otherwise.
"We were the oldest sports bar in the city," Senese said. "And we were a sports bar in the true sense of the word. We were a part of the neighborhood."
Senese's great-grandfather John McCuddy opened the tavern at 245 W. 35th St. shortly before Charles Comiskey finished building his ballpark in 1910.
Players, fans and the city's movers and shakers all made it their watering hole. The place would get so crowded after ballgames that police on horseback would come in to clear patrons out, Senese said.
Babe Ruth was known to toss back a few beers between games and, legend has it, sometimes even innings. And every Sunday, players came to dinner.
Though her mom passed away six years ago and her dad is struggling with Alzheimer's disease, Senese clings to a thread of hope that some day the tavern that was once synonymous with White Sox baseball will rise again.
"Look at all this stuff," Senese said, sifting through memorabilia and piles of old photographs. "What is to become of it all? It should be hanging inside McCuddy's."
The collection includes the giant baseball bat that Babe Ruth had made for her great grandmother in 1927. Toward the end of their run in 1989, some customers began to question its authenticity. So Pudi asked Ruth's daughter to vouch for it. While on a visit to the tavern just before it closed, Dorothy Ruth announced to the customers that she remembered when her dad ordered the bat, which was to be gifted to the McCuddys.
Senese also has the 100-year-old White Sox bat boy uniform that her great uncle John wore. There's Babe Ruth's beer pail, plus decades-old scorecards. And there are dozens of photographs, some of which were on display at McCuddy's before the demolition and others of which are part of her personal collection.
The Smithsonian contacted Pudi shortly after the tavern was torn down. The national museum was interested in displaying the items but, Senese said, her mother was certain they'd need the memorabilia for the new tavern.
"She went to her grave hoping McCuddy's would reopen," Senese said.
Senese's daughter Gabrielle Hawkinson said her grandmother was the kind of person who believed in promises.
"She took you for your word," Hawkinson said. "When (the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority) didn't follow through on their promise, she was heartbroken. She was completely shocked. Her whole life was the White Sox."
Now, Senese wrestles with what to do. Should she maintain hope or donate the old McCuddy's sign and the other items to a museum?
"There's so much history here," she said. The memorabilia reflects the history of Chicago's South Side, of its factories and blue-collar workers, of its struggles and aspirations and of its love for baseball.
"That's all gone now, they've wiped it all out," she said. "It's like the genocide of the flavor of the neighborhood."
Senese said she believes the sports authority doesn't want any private or outside vendors setting up shop near the park. They want to control it and reap the financial rewards, she said.
She can't help but wonder what the fans think.
Are they happy with a pricey, swanky bar to call their own, especially now that they know they footed the bill for it?
Or would they like to see a revival of the way things were? Would they like to see McCuddy's Tavern rise again?

Some fortunate people may have been blessed with the gift of being a "natural artist." This was not the case for me. I was not turning out photo realistic portraits as a child. The "gift" I was blessed with was simply a love of drawing (even if I wasn't very good at it.)

|Good morning folks. My petunia seedlings are really tiny. Will they really become big soon and will I have a nice hanging basket? Or petunias should really be started from inside?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Well ..... starting them inside is up to you, but they are the BEST winter sown. They may be tiny now, but when the warmth hits, they'll be off and running.
These are my petunia seedlings taken last week - after the few days of warmth over the weekend, they are bigger now (not an awful lot, though). As tiny as they are, they're on their first set of true leaves.
I'll split these out into a few hunks and give them their own individual pots. Another week or two, and their summer home will be ready and they'll have their final transplant.

|For me the wintersown seedlings don't start blooming until late June early July. They've always been slow going for me.
|mine are also the size of PV's maybe a tiny bit smaller.
I sure hope they grow fast. I would like to have them fill out the beds while waiting for the slower perennials etc.

|Mine have already bloomed. Sown in early March, three different plants have bloomed this week. My sister got some from me on Easter. Her's bloomed the following week in SC. They do mature quick. Now that I know their colors, I'll be pinching them for a while. I can wait for the big show of blooms later in the summer.
|Petunias are slow to get going but once they start they are like gang busters. And I have noticed that when compared to store bought tunias the w/s ones look ALOT better in the late summer and are still nice and full of life and not about to croak. This was found out last summer at least this is how it is was in my yard.
My seedlings are about the size of a quarter. Just give it some time. They WILL bloom.
|Certain Petunias I've WSed (Prism Sunshine is one) are starting to crowd each other out in the containers...I'm debating whether to and separate the chunks and transplant them to larger containers, or separate them into chunks and plant in the ground...I usually get a lot of reseeds, but it's too warm for those to appear yet. What to do what to do. I sure didn't have this problem with them last year, but I'm happy to have it this year :-)
|I have a bunch of containers of little tiny, tiny seedlings. My fault, I didn't do these containers till April. I was surprised to find I've got pretty good germination on 2 year old blue wave seeds.and yo are reminding me Linda that I ordered those yellow prisms - have to find those tomorrow and plant the container!!!!

|Here are my petunias. They sprouted like more than 3 weeks ago.
pvick, it's my first time to grow petunias from seedlings. Should I transfer them now to each invidual pots? How many seedlings should I put in each pot? Looks like it's going to be really tough since they're very close to each other. What is your suggestion?
Oh, the container on the left is poppy mixed. What should I do with that? Do they love full sun?
On the bottom is purple love grass. :)
|Well, my plan for the petunias is to split them into small hunks and pot each hunk in its own container to give them some room to grow on a bit. They are so dense, there is no way I can separate them very much more than that, now. They'll be much easier to separate once they're bigger.
What are those two big seedlings in the pot?
Poppies like full sun. From the looks of it, you should get your poppies out soon - much bigger and they won't like being disturbed.

Yours are much bigger than mine,i am not worried,at least they have sprouted. :0)
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, May 2, 09 at 15:54
|The 2 big seedlings I guess are the strongest petunia seedlings! I didn't put any other seeds there.
From what I understand from your post, I should wait a little more before I transplant them to pots. Am I correct?
|I would HOS into individual pots soon; you could leave them where they are for a bit, but you'd stand to lose more plants from crowding.
Those 2 big ones don't look like petunias ....?
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sun, May 3, 09 at 1:11
|Thanks pvick! I'll do it tomorrow then. Thanks for the heads up! :)
I'm not sure what those 2 big seedlings are. I'm going to examine them tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 20:32
|Here are the latest pics. I separated them today. I was able to make 12 pots, 10 really including 2 unknown seedlings. There is another one growing that looks like the first 2 unknown seedlings. I really would like to know what those seedlings are. Hopefully, someone can ID it.
Are my seedlings on pic really Petunia Laura Bush?
Oh, I remember a thread talking about pinching petunias. Can we use scissors instead?
- Posted by token28001 zone7 NC (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 20:44
|Those are way too young to be pinching. If you can't do it with your fingers, it's too early. I wait until my petunias are at least 2-3" tall before pinching. Give it a little time to think it's going to grow tall and flop.
|Yeah, it's way too early to worry about pinching. And yes, when the time comes, you can use scissors.
All varieties of petunia look the same to me when in the seedling stage, so can't say whether they are Laura Bush or not. The only pic I have of Laura Bush shows them much bigger, altho not blooming - they still look like any other petunia.
Those big seedlings are really interesting - can't wait to see what they are.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Thu, May 21, 09 at 11:46
|I should have searched this thread before I started the new one earlier.
Here is the other seedling now. It's grown. What could be it? The bottom pic is the petunia. I think it's .75" tall now, woohoo! LOL.
|I have no idea what that "big petunia" is! LOL! It doesn't look like a weed (but what do I know?), and it's actually kind of cute. Maybe someone else will know ...
- Posted by token28001 zone7 NC (My Page) on Thu, May 21, 09 at 17:15
|Makes me think bachelor buttons, but I could be wrong.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Fri, May 29, 09 at 23:49
|It's a poppy! :) The tiny poppies I transplanted 2 weeks ago looks almost similar to the unknown seedling pic.
Anyways, here is the latest on my Laura Bush petunia in pots after 8 days. I can't believe how fast they grow. However, is it really petunia? It's because, the end of a leaf isn't pointy yet. I looked at pitimpinai's Laura Bush pic and the leaves are different.
Is it big enough now to divide them or should I wait 1 more week?

Do you think folks it will look nice if I plant them in the edge on a single line? The curvy/wavy/arch edge will be about 30 ft long.
- Posted by northerner_on Z5A ONCanada (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 2:15
|I am further up north than you are so I have to experiment. I cannot seem to ever sow my petunias 'thinly' so I always have a crowded mat of seedlings. My best results were to transplant at the two-leaf stage (very meticulous and painstaking process)into six-inch pots - 8 to 10 to a pot. They sit there for a while, then take off. They either remain in pots or are transplanted to the ground, but I get blooms the third week of June. If I wait until the seedlings are larger and then transplant, the blooms are 2 to 3 weeks later. Mine are already in their six-inch pots, but the rains for the past 3 days are not doing them any good. And the weeds are having a field day!!
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 21:56
|I transplanted 1 pot today. I was able to divide them into 13 separate plants. However, I'm worried. Some roots went down from really long roots to 1" and some to half an inch long. I don't think that's good. Will they survive?
It's very hard because the roots were so so thin.
- Posted by pitimpinai z6 Chicago (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 23:37
|They'll be fine, Ronneil. I planted mine just like that. They'll grow. If it's very sunny tomorrow, shade them with newspaper or pots or cardboard boxes. Remove the shade in the evening. Water them well everyday for the next few days.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 23:50
|Thanks Mone! :)
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Sun, May 31, 09 at 21:26
|I'm not sure if it help. I gave them a lot of water in the morning but the leaves looked like veg. I gave them another water in the afternoon. All leaves around 7:30pm are still flat on ground.
- Posted by pitimpinai z6 Chicago (My Page) on Sun, May 31, 09 at 23:02
|Shade them first thing tomorrow morning and do not uncover them until the sun goes down tomorrow. That may help. Water them early morning or late evening only. Do not water them under bright sun.
I use a pot or a box to shade mine. Make sure it is well ventilated underneath, ok? Good luck.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Mon, Jun 1, 09 at 1:33
|I'll try box this time. :)
- Posted by aliska12000 5a (My Page) on Mon, Jun 1, 09 at 14:14
|lblack61, if the chunks won't crumble, probably best to plant them directly into the garden now. If they won't hold in a ball long enough, you might lose a lot by planting direct.
Otherwise what I have done is put things in solo cups w/2 drainage holes burned into the bottom, put them in trays or some odd rectangle plastic things I got cheap, and then let them grow on outside, dappled shade. I use a spatula & cut w/knife of one sort or another w/trays and maybe would w/jugs in order to get as much of the roots as possible. You'd have to figure out how much additional potting soil you might need, just plop them on top, they'll root on down.
Then I plant them with my bulb planter.
I've had pretty good luck with petunias inside or out. You get an earlier start inside, but as long as I keep the soil moist, they germinate pretty fast in my planter which is close to the hose.
I just ordered some of those Blue Daddy, better be a nice blue, and will have to consider how best to succeed with those, probably indoors or outdoors and not WS, think I'll sow direct into hanging baskets. Trailing with white alyssum volunteers, it should be pretty if I can pull it off.
|great ideas here!! I have a leaky bird bath I am sick of trying to patch and paint it.
I may just add some petunias in it.
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 1, 09 at 22:48
|Karen, put some duck tape over the cracks to provide some extra support. If you just fill the birdbath with soil then it could be too heavy after watering it and it will cave in.
Put first piece of tape right over the cracks, then put an extra strip of tape overlapping the first one on either side.
I just put the soil in the bird bath not quite to the top. Put the plants in the soil when they are really small and cover the soil with bark mulch. The plants stay fairly dwarf that way too, because the won't have a huge amount of room for their roots, but I've been doing it for more than 5 years now. As long as it holds, it gets soil and plants. Too good to toss, but not good enough for the birds. I have other ones for the birds.
|Thanks Fran!!
I never thought of Duct Tape. It fixes almost anything :)
I am also not willing to throw out the Bird Bath. I plan to put out some plant/pot saucers for the birds instead or make some Bird bath's on my own
- Posted by aliska12000 5a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 2, 09 at 15:56
|My daughter knocked over mowing a large clay pot, and I was sick about it because they're expensive. It sat all winter, but I got out some old, unopened J. B. Weld, followed instructions, made sure surfaces were clean and dry. Crash, fell and broke into two more pieces.
So I got out the duct tape and put a lot on, turned the pot to the back, nobody knows it's there if not looking for it. At least I'll get another season or two or more out of that pot. I got 2 free when a neighbor moved and always passed them by but love the look of real terra cotta.
- Posted by v1rtu0s1ty Zone 5a, Northern IL (My Page) on Tue, Jun 2, 09 at 20:09
|I planted all my remaining petunias today. It was so tough to divide since I used a wrong potting medium.
The 2 days of rain/cloudy helped the petunias that I transplanted before. I was lucky since I didn't have to cover them in morning. I think 2 will not make it though.

Sports & Entertainment
25 Most Intense Sports of the Ancient World
Posted by David Pegg on July 23, 2012
While today we have MMA, the Greeks had something known as Pankration. The goal of this bloody, one-on-one, anything goes fist fight was to bring your opponent as close to death without actually killing them. If you did happen to accidently kill them then you would automatically forfeit the match as any dead fighter was instantly declared the victor.
Fisherman's Joust
Imagine two groups of guys each hopping into their boats, rowing out into the nile, and proceeding to beat the crap out of each other with their oars. Like the Roman gladiatorial games this often took place before the Pharoah and many times the bloody mess would entice crocodiles and hippos to enter the fray.
It's hard to say whether this ancient death match was worse for the slaves or the animals recruited to fight them. In fact, the Romans were so intrigued with pitting humans against animals that on the inauguration of the colloseum over 9,000 beasts were killed. Very often, however, the humans met a similar fate.
Chariot Races
Although NASCAR certainly has its dangers, chariot racing was little more than a death match with a finish line. In fact, it was almost impossible to win without being seriously injured and the life expectancy of most racers was increcibly low.
Nguni Stick Fighting
One of the few sports on this list that is actually still practiced today, the name of this game just about sums things up. The Zulus would essentially beat the crap out of each other with sticks. Although people seldom died, the participants would often walk away with numerous scars that they would wear like badges of honor.
Gladiatorial Games
If you've seen Russel Crowe in the Gladiator then you know how blood thirsty the crowd in the colloseum could be. Often times the organizers of these games would come up with new and unusual ways for the gladiators to kill themselves, one of which we'll see in a moment.
Papa Holua
It seems as though Hawaii has always been know for surfing. While today it mostly involves waves, in the past ancient Hawaiians used mountains. In fact, the name of this pastime means "slide into the pit". For thousands of years the islanders would essentially "surf" down the side of volcanos until the sport was stopped 200 years ago due to being so dangerous. Recenlty there have been several attempts to revive it.
Once again taking place in the colloseum, the name of this event roughly translates to "naval warfare". The Romans would fill the arena with water, add a bunch of war ships and recreate famous naval battles. It has been said that the spectacle was so violent that by the end of it the ships that hadn't sunk seemed as though they had been painted red.
Although modern soccer has plenty of shin kicking and ankle twisting, its ancient Greek predecessor was just downright brutal. In fact, sources indicate that even spectators would often emerge with broken bones and injuries.
Played by Native Americans, this game wasn't nearly as violent as the others on this list although losers were sometimes known to commit suicide. The game itself was relatively simple and involved rolling a large stone across the ground as participants threw spears at it.
Although there wasn't a ridiculously high mortality rate, knocking your opponent off of his horse using a 10 foot pole definitely qualifies as hardcore.
One of the oldest bloodsports (any activity that involves pitting animals against one another) in the world, cockfighting typically meant having two specially bred birds fight one another with specially designed barbs on their feet.
Pelota Purepecha
What was essentially field hockey for pyromananiacs, this ancient mesoamerican game used a flaming puck. Recenlty, it has actually started making a comeback as the Mexican government is pushing to revive its ancient past times.
Like cockfighting, dog fighting dates back thousands of years and has roots in Ancient Rome as well as China. These days, however, it is illegal in most developed countries.
Shin Kicking
Consisting of two people kicking each other in the shins this simple sport has been practiced in England for hundreds of years. Although it's not lethal, having someone repeatedly bash you in your shins can definitely be considered hardcore.

The Deserving Rich
Ed Miliband: it's good to be rich 'if you make it the hard way' - Telegraph
Ed Miliband today declares that Labour will be on the side of capitalists who want to get rich, provided they work hard for their money.
David Miliband makes £14,000 from two-hour speech - Today's News - News - JournalLive
SOUTH Shields MP David Miliband is under the spotlight after earning more than £116-a-minute for making one speech.
The former Foreign Secretary received £14,000 for a two-hour speech to a law firm at Claridge's Hotel in London on June 14 - £116.66 a minute.
The payment is outlined in Mr Miliband's declaration on the latest register of MPs' financial interests. He collected £441,821.60 in outside earnings since June last year on top of his £65,738 annual salary as an MP.
Leaving aside the interesting conversation the Brothers may have, Ed is just recycling the old Marxist value equals labour, or as another bunch of socialists said work ennobles you.
Of course nobody ever got rich by working hard, it needs a sprinkle of luck as well.
