Cubs almost blew it in the 9th, but still came away with a solid 8-5 win.  Lilly pitched very well and Fonzy hit 2 homers. [Sun-Times]
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of “The Shot”.  I’m talking about Jordan over Ehlo of course.  Here’s a little tribute. [BDL]
If you have a few minutes, this is a very [...]

Game 4 could have been a chance to put a choke hold on this series for the Blackhawks, but after a loss Tuesday the Hawks need a win to stay competitive.
After falling behind early, just like every other game this series, the Blackhawks couldn’t complete the comeback and now find themselves in a 2-1 hole [...]

This little story was brought to my attention by Zoner, and it struck me as very interesting.  Thaddeus “T.J.” Jimenez was accused of the gang-related killing of 19-year old Eric Morro back in 1993.  He was sent to prison and has been serving time there ever since.  Recent evidence came to light completely freeing him [...]

There’s not much really to say about this story beyond that it is awesome.  I thought these guys hated each other, but I guess they left it on the court.  Here’s the story:
On his relationship with Wilt Chamberlain: “At his memorial service, one of the nephews came up to me and said, ‘Mr. Russell, you [...]

So as I’m up late studying last night, I was passively listening to Inside the NBA.  I have found that the NBA is a great thing to have on in the background because I can tune it out due to its general lack of excitement, and still be able to pay attention for the five [...]

Cubs win the opening game of the series in Houston.  Harden looked good and Reed Johnson provided a three run triple.  [MLB]
The season hasn’t gotten off to a good start for the New York Yankees.  The new stadium is having its share of growing pains and some crazy things are going on in there.  Ninja [...]

In honor of LeBron winning the NBA MVP award, which he deserved, here is a video tribute to him set to Kanye West’s “Amazing”.  James is so filthy.  All we can do is hope for a James/Bryant Finals.  Enjoy.

Shaq flirts with a box of donuts.  Don’t break the diet! [BDL]
The Hawks choked last night, but since they got the split in Vancouver they can hold serve by winning Game 4, so no worries. [Sun-Times]
Would you like to name the Cubs Class A Chiefs ballpark for a day?  It won’t cost you much. [Pantagraph]
Remember [...]

The Blackhawks have made it back stateside and will try to hold onto the home ice advantage they snuck over the border after a Game 2 comeback win. 
The Hawks certainly have the momentum after rattling off five straight goals after falling behind 2-0.  The Canucks added a late goal, but it was on a 5-on-3 [...]

While there was some speculation about Cubs fans being racist (it was later explained to me that it was not mere speculation), I’m wondering is this a problem unique to Cubs fans, or is everyone just still a little racist?  Like are Cubs fans more racist than say…Cardinals fans.  It doesn’t look like it:

Hmmm.  Here’s [...]

He kind of looks like a homeless guy, but at least he’s loyal to his Chicago teams.  I think he’s looking for his shopping cart in this photo, but I’m not sure.

Ryan Theriot has been just obliterating the ball since May 1.  He has 3 home runs in the last 4 games, tying his career-high for home runs in a season in a 4 day stretch.  I’m not sure if this will keep up, it’s not like The Riot was one of those guys that seemed [...]

Luol Deng struggled this season from wire to wire.  After signing a huge contract (oops), he played like shit the first half of the season and eventually sat the last few months of the season with a stress fracture.  Some people say he was faking it, or that he couldn’t play through pain and that [...]

ESPN had an interesting poll question up yesterday.  What in the world were 35% of those people thinking? [Awful Announcing]
Cubs beat the Giants last night on another Theriot homer and behind another great outing at Wrigley by Dempster.  [Sun-Times]
And the White Sox were Greinke’s latest victim as the Sox fell to the Royals 3-0.  Greinke [...]

Let me start by saying that I love Carlos Zambrano.  He obviously loves the game and there’s never a doubt he gives it everything he has to win games for the Cubs.  Not to mention he is a phenomenal pitcher with disgusting stuff when he is on.  Oh, and he has been known to mash [...]
