2. Tyler Colvin likes kids and dogs
↵Carrie Muskat has a shout-out to Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin on her blog today. Apparently Colvin went out of his way to spend some time with a Clarendon HIlls little league team.
↵Colvin so impressed the parents of the little leaguers that they donated $500 to PAWS Chicago, a no-kill animal shelter because of Tyler’s love of dogs. Awww. Now if only Colvin could impress Lou and actually get consistent at-bats….
↵3. Blackhawks to bring Stanley Cup to Pride Parade
↵The Hawks have accepted an invitation from the Chicago Gay Hockey Association to bring the Stanley Cup to the Pride Parade this weekend on Chicago’s North Side.
↵The Hawks will be represented by Brent Sopel and his family. Good job, Blackhawks!
