Super Bowl Monday is not usually a good day for finding baseball news, and this year is no different from others. Besides the Magglio Ordonez signing by the Detroit Tigers, very little is going on and not much that includes the Cubs.

This is how cold the hot stove is: out-of-town columnists dedicate columns to pointless interviews with bench coaches (in this case, the Cubs' Dick Pole).

Somewhat more interestingly, the Orioles' Larry Bigbie Jr. told his hometown paper in Lake County, Indiana, how both he and Jim Hendry wished he was included with Hairston in the Sosa deal.
