It only seems apt to run the Stray Cast here.
After all, this Web log is named for the Stray Cast, which has snapped off the end of the outdoors column in the Sun-Times on Wednesdays since April 2, 2003.
Here's today's:
Expecting Mike Murphy to replace Ron Santo on Cubs radio broadcasts is like expecting the IDNR to lift the July closure on perch fishing. It makes too much sense.

Our DNR gets an A when it comes to stupidy. Their is no true scientific evidence
that if you open up July it will hurt the Perch fishery. Thanks to the idiots who run the Lake Michigan program for the closure. They have no clue what their doing. Shame on Marc Miller for letting them close the season.
No, no, no on Murphy. Give Stoney back.
