We lost our games in the last two minutes. Why is it when its late in the game we deside to go into a prevent defense and let the offense pass all over us and march up the field. I realize your trying to protect yourself from getting beat by the deep ball but when u add up all the small plays it ends in a big play. Lets not forget what happened in that Falcons game we should've won but one pass and a field goal with seconds left is an example of that </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/baseball-camps-in-chicagoland#post-374 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:18:36 +0000 mba09 374@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>North Park University will host a six-week Spring Training 2009 baseball program for players in grades 1 through 12 from January 18 to February 22.
