RIP, Lorenzo Charles

How sad that both Lorenzo Charles and Jimmy V are gone.

What's usually a recipe for disaster? Using everyone in your bullpen in a 14 inning defeat and then having your starter (Jon Danks) leave the next game in the 2nd inning with an injury. Well, after using a reliver for 2 plus, you bring in Jake Peavy who started and got a win agaisnt the Cubbies on Wednesday. Peavyh pitched 4 scoreless innings as the White Sox shutout the Nasty Nats!

When Peavy is not injured and at the top of his game, he's, well, NASTY!

RIP, NICK CHARLES

I used to watch CNN's Sports Tonight. Fred Hickman and Nick Charles were great, often beating ESPN's SportsCenter in head to head battle for ratings.
Sad news.

2012 NBA DRAFT PROJECTIONS

One day after the 2011 NBA Draft, let's start thinking about the 2012 NBA Draft.

So if the season gets cancelled due to a lockout- how do we determine the draft order?

Zambrano Turns the Corner

There has never been a question as to Zambrano's talent. Probably the best arm in Chicago. It was his emotions- Crazy Z- not his arm. Since his spectacular meltdown last season at the Cell, Big Z has been darn close to a model citizen. Okay, he called his team a Triple A team and stated that "We Stinks." So, it was the truth and he said "We" not "They Stinks." Well yesterday was a perfect example of the "new and improved Zambrano." He could have lost it after giving up three runs tin the first, but instead pitch 7 scoreless innings after that. He had 5 Ks but 3 of them were strike-out of Adam Dunn, so they shouldn't count. That's like pitching to a pitcher in the NL. How long will the "new and improved" Zambrano last? Who knows, but you really think the Yankees shouldn't take a chance. If you would rather count on Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon in your starting line-up rather than taking a chance on Zambrano, then best of luck to you!

Ricky Rubio Arrives in Minny

Only a slightly bigger gathering then when I arrived in Minneapolis last month.

1995-96 Bulls Chosen GREATEST NBA Team Ever!!

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/1995-96-bulls-chosen-nbas-greatest-team-all-time.html

One of the many reasons I took delight to the Mavericks' defeat of the Heat in the NBA Finals stemmed from the pre-season predictions that the Heat would challenge the Bulls' regular season record of 72 (72-10) wins. Child, please!

I know that HM will be happy to see that the 1995-96 still stand as the Greatest NBA team of all time!!

Glad that I was able to find a picture of (the former Ms.) Dennis Rodman and (Not Michael, but Katie Price) Jordan together, since they played so well together on that team!

Dallas Mavericks Capture NBA Title

on the 20th anniversary of MJ's first title! Enjoy the pics- the "Loss of the Rings" is the best, in my opinion. Now I go back to my sad life, right-LeBron!
