Chicago Bulls Mobile Alerts

Hello Chicago! Well our Bulls are still in session and are heading into the playoffs! Congrats guys! Again, I have watched one basketball game in my life and therefore I don't have a passion for the sport nor do I know much about it except for the fact that there are four quarters and the entire objective is to shoot as much possible to get the most amout of points to win a game. Additionally, the Bulls play at the United Center, which is also home to my Hawks, and various other events such as concerts and things of that nature.

This phone appplication also keeps fans up-to-date on scores, stats, and everything that a dedicated Bulls fan would want to know.

Chicago Cubs Sports App

Hello all you North Siders! In my mind, the Cubs and Sox rivalry is like the Blackhawks and the lame ass Redwings (Or should I say DEADWINGS...lol because they got knocked out first in the NHL playoffs! YEAH BOY!! WOO WOO!) because it's expected and the fans on each side don't like each other and never will except that the two team are situated within one state. Anyways, this post is about the Chicago Cubs phone app and all it does.

- Here are some links:

"Cubs Mobile lets you follow your favorite team wherever you go. Get score upates. Track every pitch. Keep up with the latest news. Check rosters and player stats. Watch highlights"

"You'll never miss a moment of the action"

This app is pretty much like the White Sox one because both teams are baseball teams and part of the MLB or Major League Baseball.

Chicago White Sox Sports App

Hey you South Siders out there!! Wad up home dogs? lol :) Anways, moving on from hockey, the next app I will be talking about is Chicago's own White Sox. Personally, I know a lot of Sox fans out there and this is for you. Being perfectly honest, baseball is pretty boring and therefore I don't watch it. But for those of you who do, more power to you. Below are some links to what this wouldl like on your Iphone or Smartphone:

Howdy yall! Yes, the Wolves are my #1 team and the Hawks are #2 on my list, but that doesn't mean I love them anyless. Similiar to the Hawks, my Wolves were eliminated in the 1st round of the American Hockey League playoffs verses the San Antonio Rampage in game 5 on April 27th in double overtime!): I guess hockey fans in Chi town will have to watch like pee wee league hockey until October comes around. I already miss my "hockey family" soooooooooo much and everyone else who I see at the games.

Anyways, back to the main task at hand, is the sports app. Just like the Hawks app, the Wolves app can be downloaded to any Smart phone iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android devices.

LETS GO WOLVES!!!

Chicago Blackhawks Mobile and Phone App

Howdy all my hockey lovers! First off, despite the elimination of my Hawks in the first round of the NHL playoffs, they are still my team and I don't care what anybody else says. If you Hawks fans out there are not fans anymore because of factor, then GO TO HELL; YOU WERE NEVER A REAL FAN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! They gave it their best effort and hey you can't win them all. Anyways, all we can hope for is a kick ass season starting in October with pre-games before that and a run in the playoffs that lasts longer than the 1st round. The point of this post is to detail what exactly the Hawks phone application entails and how it benefits dedicated fans.

" The Official Chicago Blackhawks iPhone App offers all of the great Blackhawks TV video content directly to your mobile device, taking you inside the locker room and behind the scenes. The official Blackhawks App takes you closer to the team than ever before with exclusive content produced only for Blackhawks mobile applications. The App also incorporates the latest headlines and news, photo galleries, stats, standings and schedule information, along with updates from the team’s award-winning Twitter feed.

This phone application, in sum, give you behind the scenes access to news, interviews, a look inside the locker room, and everyting else that you'd ever want to know about our Chi town Hawks! By downloading this application to an Ipad or Iphone, a Hawks fanatic can get free on the go access to your team without being at home on a computer. Is there a better way to stay connected? No, I don't think so.

GO HAWKS GO!!!!

Business Time :)

Ciao all my sports peeps out there. The time has come to get down to the real business of this blog, which is how technology merges with sports and their dedicated fans. Think about sports applications and text alerts from corresponding teams this way: what better way to stay in check with what is happening within the organization or with your favorite player then by getting mobile messages about statistics or who was traded to what team. Yes, this post connects to the last post I published pertaining to how emotions play into the realm of sports. Speaking from personal experience and being a Chicago Wolves fan, I was beyond pissed when I received an incoming text that my favorite player, Nathan Longpre #9 , was "traded to the Springfield Falcons for a future prospect". My reaction was as you'd expect it to be pretty pissed off and i was actually talking to my one friend in my " Hockey Family" and she was calming me down because I was so enraged. The point is that technology and sports most of the time is a great combination of love and dedication, but it can turn deadly when the news is about a favorite player or a particular member of the organziation with whom you get tickets from.
