two months worth of thoughts

The best thing about returning from a two month vacation at the beginning of april is that baseball has started and the playoffs are just around the corner.

the WHITE SOX? plenty of hitting and three starting pitchers. they'll need the hitting because the bullpen really sucks.   maybe pitching coach don cooper can turn things around eventually but they are really ugly right now.

the cubs?  no. and by that, i mean no hitting, no bullpen and no more than two starting pitchers and they're already talking about trading one of those to help the rebuilding.a hundred losses? maybe but i would sure bet on 90+.  exactly when does their rebuilding program start to see results?

the BLACKHAWKS? alive & well but crippled by the loss of their two best players. corey crawford still gives up too many soft goals. going thru st. louis AND colorado in the first two rounds might be too much to ask.

the BULLS? an amazing story and thibs should win coach of the year.  we  all know they can't get by miami until next year but they sure are fun to watch. unless they can clinch the three spot, they'll  get the heat in round two and that means an early summer vacation.

the BEARS got an 'A' from me for their off season signings. jared allen replacing sluggo julius?  you make that change all day long.  tough to lose the backup qb but you can't keep everyone.  a playoff team? schedule will be out shortly and then we'll see.  

more later.
