So I don’t get it; Does Jerome James salary count against the Bulls cap or not? [Blogabull] Scott Boras may be evil, but the real bad guys are Baseball ownership, who have somehow managed to make ridiculous profits while at the same time been able to make players seem selfish for trying to get paid [...]

The May Cubs TOOTBLAN report is out.  While the Cubs are stealing at a better rate than April (12/15), there were still a ton of baserunning errors to account for. [WV23] Brian Cole of the Bulls has been awarded the Team Physician of the Year.  Really?  They didn’t seem to catch that minor Deng injury [...]

The bullpen is the key to this Cubs team.  Regardless of hitting, when the ‘pen is working, the team is winning.  Same goes for the other way around, and boy did they blow a gem by Randy Wells last night. [Sun-Times] Oh and Zambrano is missing team flights now. [Tribune] And did I mention Milton [...]

What’s up everybody?  After a week absence that seemed like forever, I finally found an Internet connection from which I can post and not get fired.  The place I’m staying for a while in Michigan doesn’t have an Internet connection.  I know, I know, you’re thinking I moved into a cabin somewhere and my neighbors [...]

Zambrano’s ejection was nothing new from the volatile ace.  We’ve seen fights with teammates, Red Bull-fueled tantrums, and screaming matches with whatever or whomever he’s talking to when he yells at the sky.  About a week after hearing he was demonstrative toward umps and teammates in his rehab start, Z was tossed yesterday. The explosion after [...]

In a great hockey game, the Hawks dropped Game 5 to lose the series to the Red Wings.  Huet made a phenomenal save to force OT.  [ESPN] The ratings are out for Madden 2010.  Favre gets a “retired” apparently. [Awful Announcing] Everyone was waiting for the big blow up by Lou to get the Cubs [...]

Well, as Stomin’ Norman was talking about this morning, the Cubs have decided some changes need to be made and they will look to the minors to try and make it happen.  Jake Fox is hitting .423 with 17 homers so far this year and will be brought up to play outfield and a little [...]

Jerry Reinsdorf opens up about what exactly went down with Ben Gordon last summer.  Doesn’t sound like Jerry thinks Ben is in the plans for next season. [By The Horns] Bradley isn’t the only one who thinks the umps are giving him a raw deal.  Ted Lilly chimed in and got ejected the other day. [...]

Havlat’s return for Game 4, though brief, was amazing according to an expert.  Seriously, I was shocked he was out there.  [CBC via Puck Daddy] It’s a rain delay dance-off! [Awful Announcing] The Chicago Fire beat the New York Red Bulls 1-0 on Sunday to extend their unbeaten streak to 10 games.  [Sun-Times] Hawks Coach [...]

Gar Forman will be the new GM of the Chicago Bulls.  He is being promoted to replace Johnny P.  Hard to compete with a guy named Gar I suppose.  [ESPN] The Zooker has a Twitter account and he is finding INTENSITY wherever he goes.  Woooooooooooooooo! [Deadspin] Sounds like Cutler was showing off the arm strength [...]

Apparently some Cubs fans felt that they were being out-racismed with this t-shirt that was seen on a Cardinals fan recently.  So they responded with a t-shirt of their own: I would have gone with something like “Pujols Gives Guys Hand Jobs” or “Hey Pujols, I Think The Steroids Are Working”, but how can you [...]

Things could be looking a lot worse for the Cubs in mid-May with some of the problems they’ve had to start the year.  As it is the Cubbies are sitting a game and a half behind the Brewers for the division lead after being in fourth place to start the month. Now it’s on to [...]

Cubs hammered the Padres 11-3 last night. [Sun-Times] Did you ever wonder where all those hat trick hats go after they’ve been thrown on the ice?  Wonder no longer! [Chicagoist] Are you interested in owning Michael Jordan’s…guitar?  Well its for sale. [By The Horns] Rex Grossman is still unemployed.  I can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t [...]

ESPN’s Chris McKendry can’t stop laughing about marijuana.  Maybe it’s because the guy’s name is Blount.  Or maybe Kenny Mayne finally shared whatever he’s been on all this time.  [Awful Announcing] The Cubs won a rain (tornado?) shortened game last night against the Padres 6-4.  Theriot had two more homers.  Oh, so many puns to [...]

So the other day Bobby Jenks threw at Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers.  Later he admitted that he threw at him intentionally to send a message.  The first thing I thought was good for Jenks for shooting straight, followed quickly by the idea that he would almost certainly be suspended or fined a decent [...]
