Chris Getz asking himself, “A plan? I’m supposed to have a plan? What’s a plan?” | Ron Vesely/Getty Images As if you could ever actually have one In theory, in any business transaction, each participant should have a plan of how to benefit.

• South Side Sox Player of the Week (April 4-11): Gavin Sheets

Mitch Ransdell/South Side Sox Somebody had to be Gavin Sheets is our latest Player of the Week. Unfortunately, when talking about any honors for a now 2-14 team, a player of the week is going to be granted not just with plaudits, but irony or jokes. So, of course, the first reaction is that Gavin Sheets was our Player of the Weeks because someone had to be. And, after all, he’s a one-dime...2024
