: * * Hear ye, hear ye! There will be a new judge Thursday on Mike Murphy's WSCR-AM (670) program. Judge Murphy won't be presiding. He's handing over the gavel to yours truly to rule on a new segment set to run from noon to 1 p.m.: ''Hey, Murph, I've Got an Idea.'' With prizes to be awarded, Murph figured he didn't want to have callers who failed to win any (or anything good) upset with him, so he searched far and wide (OK, maybe just wide) to locate a sucker/substitute. Folks can go to www.670TheScore.com and click on Murph's face to e-mail ideas. If someone didn't know better, you might think it sounds like a way to drum up listeners and/or publicity. Rest assured, Quick Hits doesn't know better. Or much.

* * The idea that won the ''Murph, I've Got an Idea'' segment Thursday on Mike Murphy's program on WSCR-AM (670) went to the fellow with the suggestion to penalize ballplayers who stand to admire balls they think are going to be home runs. That offering was out of the park.

* * Speaking of Murph (who has been looking for a better solution than shootouts to decide hockey games), how about this: Set up the goal the way it is for the second-period intermission entertainment's shoot-the-puck contest. Have Blackhawks Ice Crew members compete against a short-skirted female of the visiting team's choice. So simple (simple thoughts being a Quick Hits specialty).
