Frustrated with the Cubbies?  So am I.  Not quite as frustrated as Lou though.  Here’s a clip of his press conference after Wednesday’s 3-2 loss (They lost again last night 13-5 by the way). The best part is how he asks the reporter “What kind of baseball do you play?” and then stares him down, [...]

Well, just because the Bulls season came to an end doesn’t mean we can’t have fun with the NBA Playoffs.  Online sports betting is a great way to stay interested even after your team falls.  By far the most surprising thing that happened last week with the Qualified Picks is that His Jesusness Shuttlesworth predicted [...]

By Paul M. Banks and David Kay, President and V.P. of The Sports Bank.net The Chicago Bulls could use a good perimeter scorer, someone who can really light it up from deep. Even though Kirk Hinrich played out of his mind for a couple games of the first round series loss to Cleveland, he’s not [...]

That was an exciting game and the Bulls played decently in the series considering the competition they were up against.  That being said, the officiating in Game 5 was horrendous.  The sequence with Shaq drawing what seemed like 5 fouls on the Bulls big men in under 20 seconds was insane.  Those weren’t close calls. [...]

You know what’s more annoying than an opposing fan who won’t shut up?  An opposing fan who still won’t shut up when his team is losing.  Duncan Keith took care of this idiot for us, but what about the rest of them? h/t: MPS

Quick let’s celebrate, the Cubs are on a four game winning streak. I know it is ridiculous to be elated so early in the season, but the Cubs are back at .500 and within a series sweep of passing the St. Louis Cardinals. I, and Chicago, needs this as the Bulls are about to knocked [...]

There’s a lot of great sports going on in this town right now.  The Blackhawks advanced to the second round after finishing off the Predators last night, the Bulls have a crucial back-against-the-wall elimination game tonight with the Cavs, and the Cubs and Sox are both finally starting to play good baseball.  That being said, [...]

By Paul M. Banks Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net, Possibly the greatest “second banana” in NBA history, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, will enter the basketball Hall of Fame as part of a very special class this year. 2010 inductees include Jerry Buss, Cynthia Cooper, Bob Hurley, Sr., Karl Malone and two celebrated teams: the [...]

This picture was taken of the Cubs bullpen in the 5th inning of yesterday’s 8-1 Cubs win over the Brewers.  It’s still weird to have Big Z in the bullpen, and it’s going to be very hard to ignore.  Cheer on Z.

This whole video is pretty interesting, but in all honesty you only need to see the first 90 seconds.  It consists of Noah walking through the stadium getting high-fives and congratulations after the big win Thursday night.  It’s clips like this that make me love the kid even more.  He’s so in the moment and [...]

Arbitration is a word that gets thrown around a lot in baseball.  Every off-season you hear about some of your favorite players “going to arbitration” with their respective teams.  But have you ever really thought about what that means?  As far as I know, its a way for owners to disparage their players in closed [...]

Bulls Win!!!  That game was unbelievable.  While I have said all along I think the Bulls will lose in 5 or 6, once they took the court in Cleveland for game 1 it became apparent that they were going to need some divine intervention to even win 1 game.  I don’t know if the game [...]

Last week everybody picked the Sox to beat the Indians on Saturday, and everybody was wrong.  We shall be taking a week off from predicting baseball games.  Javier Sandooski has decided to grace us with his presence once again and take another shot at this sportsbook thing.  Behind the scenes here I am pretty sure [...]

Things are bad for the Cubs.  Real bad.  The starting pitching though?  Not really a problem.  In fact, somehow, the Cubs have too many starters that are pitching well.  Now the bullpen, that’s a different story.  With Ted Lilly returning to the rotation on Saturday after looking especially sharp in his latest rehab start, most [...]
