In case you didn’t notice, the Bulls drafted two power forwards in the draft last week.  A lot of questions arose about the Bulls faith in Tyrus.  Do they feel Tyrus isn’t good enough to start?  Are they preparing to move him?  Or did they just take the best available players (in their minds at [...]

Brandon Jennings recently decided to go to Europe instead of cheat on his SAT to play one year in college, thanks to David Stern’s highly questionable 1 year rule.  A lot of people questioned that move and…whatever, anyways the bottom line is he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 10th pick in the [...]

Gavin has offered to do an NL/AL Central recap for yesterday.  I’m not sure how often he will be doing these, but enjoy this one and hopefully there will be more to come.
With the NL and AL Central leaders only surpassing the NL East-leading Phillies in winning percentage, no team can be said to truly [...]

Last week may have been the worst week the Cubs have had in 5 years.  Sure, there have been some losing teams in that period, but no one week where the wheels just came off like they did here.  The record alone– 1-6 –makes the week look better than it actually was.  Here’s a little [...]

You all saw my take on the Bulls draft yesterday night, but what are the reactions of other far more qualified bloggers than myself?  Looks like most had a slightly less optimistic take than I did, imagine that?  Here are some excerpts:
Ball Don’t Lie:  Are these really two players that you want to hand guaranteed [...]

Michael Jackson passed away last night from a reported heart attack.  Although I am not a fan of pop music in general, and never really have been, Michael Jackson was always on another level.  Arguably one of the most talented artists of the 80s and even 90s, he made music that we will all love [...]

Well that was an interesting draft.  A lot of big moves happened leading up to the draft and there were some minor trades during the draft.  Some guys slipped and some guys jumped, but for the most part there weren’t too many surprises once the draft began.
The Bulls:
With the 16th and 26th pick, I was [...]

Here is Part 4 of 4 of Gavin’s look at International players in the NBA.  Enjoy!
ASSESSING SOME OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS IN TONIGHT’S DRAFT
OMRI CASSPI:
The inspiration for these posts began with the news that the Bulls might draft Omri Casspi with one of their first round picks. My concern stemmed from [...]

Everyone knows the Cubs offense has been mostly dormant this season.  Although bullpen problems have been a big issue, the Cubs need to be able to score runs to even put the bullpen in a position to blow the game.  What has seemingly ailed the Cubs much of the season is something Bob Brenly likes [...]

Whoa!  Shaq to Cleveland could change the face of the East, or not.  It will still be fun.  Here’s a good look at all the roles that will have to be shifted on the Cavs for this trade to work out in Cleveland. [BDL]

Oregon Live: Kirk Hinrich is telling friends that he is being traded to the Blazers.

Here is Part 3 of 4 of Gavin’s look at International players in the NBA.  Enjoy!

No matter what you think about the NBA’s one-and-done rule that puts off high school players entering the draft for one year, it has become clear that there are a number of players each year that are [...]

In the wake of the Sammy Sosa steroid scandal, many people around the majors have been chiming in about what they think regarding this topic.  Ryne Sandberg does not approve, and he had this to say:
Appearing on the “Waddle & Silvy” show on ESPN 1000, Sandberg was asked whether Sosa belongs in the Hall of [...]

I’m not sure if anyone has been following the University of Illinois scandal that has been blowing up in the Office of Admissions.  Basically there are allegations that people possessing clout within the state have been able to get family members into U of I in Champaign even if they did not deserve to be [...]

I don’t personally know if the Madden cover curse applies to NHL games, we can only pray it doesn’t.  Especially now that our rising young star is gracing the cover:

Seriously, Patrick Kane looks like he is 15 years old.  All kidding aside, he deserves this honor, among many others he will hopefully be getting throughout [...]
