- The Chicago Blackhawks took care of business by sweeping the San Jose Sharks with a win today, and all it cost them were 4 of Duncan Keith's Teeth! The 4-0 sweep is a bit misleading as the Sharks played very well for the most part, particularly in Games 3 and 4. They threw everything they had at the Hawks, but the Blackhawks are simply just better at hockey than the Sharks with their right blend of offensive firepower and lethal penalty killing/superb goal tending. The door to the Stanley Cup is now wide open for the Hawks. Just four more wins away...
- Only the 2010 White Sox can make winning a series look bad. Throwing up a 13-0 turd at home to the Marlins is one of the easiest ways to feel terrible about taking 2 out of 3 games. Now comes a nice little road trip to Cleveland and Tampa all the while there's this report that the Phillies are looking at Jenks and Putz. In terms of the Phillies best prospect the one name that consistently comes up is Domonic Brown. He's 23 years old, 6'5" 200lb outfielder currently hitting .311, OPS .969 with 7 home runs and 24 RBI's. Might have to pull the trigger on that deal if it comes up between now and July 31...
- So when the Milton Bradley trade happened, you might remember that I said it was a great move by the Cubs? Well I never imagined that it would be this good! While the Cubs as a whole might be spinning their wheels , Carlos Silva is now 6-0 after the Cubs took 2 out of 3 from the Texas Rangers. While you're digesting that, here's another thing that might make you raise an eyebrow...he might make the All-Star Team if he keeps this up!Depending on your take, this is either an indicator on how overrated Wins are in pitching statistics, or just how dumb Seattle's GM is.
- I can't stand Bears Mini-Camp coverage. Every team that has mini-camps, the reports are nothing but warm and fuzzy fluff pieces like this. All of a sudden the Bears are going to be a playoff team now because they had mini-camp. All the questions surrounding this team on both offense and defense are now answered. There's no doubt about it, the Bears are in the drivers seat in the NFC North. It's enough to make your head explode because anybody who's watched the NFL for over a month knows that you don't learn anything about your team after Mini-Camp that you didn't already know before. The questions you have about your team aren't answered now, or during OTA's, or during the REAL Training Camp, or during the Preseason. The answers come during the season. If the Bears end up being good (And obviously I hope they do) then that's great. If not, oh well. All I know is when the season starts, I won't be remembering what they did in mini-camp, and neither will anyone else.
