Bulls- I have not been a big fan of the NBA since the Bulls had Michael Jordan. Not that I'm a front runner, it's just that it was fun to watch how they played as a team. Today's game is more about individuals, thugs, and big contracts.
However, the Bulls/Celtics series has been amazing. Four overtime games and coming up Saturday the decisive seventh game to declare a series winner. I have not seen this many exciting games in the NBA for a very long time with all the back and forth scoring. Neither team has been pretty and without a doubt MJ, Pippen, Rodman and company would trounce both of these teams. But it has been fun for six games.
Sox- Another White Sox experiment has failed in outfielder Jerry Owens. If he could just steal first base he'd still be around. Amazing how a player with his speed and not listen to coaching can kill a career. Hit the ball on the ground, bunt, and draw walks was all he had to do. So this means 2005 star Scott Podsednik is back. How long before we hear strained groin? I think Kenny Williams is going to have to make a move.
Cubs- I wonder if they wish they still had Mark DeRosa and Kerry Wood. Milton Bradley and Carlos Marmol aren't doing much.

This is a blog about all sports and it's issues. Based in Chicago the focus will be on the hometown teams, even the Cubs. Leave your opinion but be prepared to back it up.

I too have forsaken the NBA since 1998. I have seen a few minutes of the Bulls/Celtics series. The Bulls have guts, considering they have not played together as a team all year.
I might tune in to see game 7.
I 100% agree with you on the NBA. It is a thug filled, out of shape, bunch of self-promoting players for the most part. There are a few exceptions. Also the number of steps they take between dribbles has gotten beyond ridiculous.
This has been a great first round series though by a revamped Bulls team that seems to want it bad.
As far as Owens is concerned, he needs more time. It's not the easiest thing to just take first base. Look at a guy like Michael Bourn with Houston who has been trying to do this for 2 years now.
More time for Owens? The Sox are his third team. He's been playing about six years now.
