Swin Cash may have the chance to celebrate another championship bash. The Chicago Sky forward has enjoyed a few — first as a collegian at Connecticut (2000, 2002) and then in the WNBA with Detroit (2003, 2006) and Seattle (2010).

Midweek musings: Rain washed out the Chicago interleague baseball contest between the Cubs and White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. No makeup date was set for the contest. The possibility exists that the game will not be rescheduled. Unless, of course, it impacts the Cubs’ postseason prospects. OK, so June 24 reportedly is a potential […]
