NEW LIFE ON THE NORTH SIDE?

Well, 10% of the baseball season is already gone and how's your team doing?  as you know, i watch a lot of baseball and i can honestly tell you that THE CHICAGO CUBS bring an potent offensive package to every game which will score a lot of runs and entertain north siders throughout the summer.  the cubs also got good news sunday when the first place cardinals announced that pitcher ADAM WAINWRIGHT was done for the year. every little bit helps.

JORGE SOLER is the real deal. he has a buggy whip swing reminiscent of DARRYL STRAWBERRY and don't you dare think about taking an extra base because soler's arm will gun you down. I'll reserve judgement on wunderkid KRIS BRYANT until he's been thru the league a couple of times because it looks to me that a hard slider is his kryptonite  but the anticipation in wrigley when he walks to the plate is just like when steroid riddled SAMMY SOSA used to work on the north side.

speaking of steroid boy.....what the hell is he doing to his body now? check the comparison photo below. the one on the right was taken at christmas and the other 5 years ago. can you say MICHAEL JACKSON?

THE CHICAGO BULLS may have caught a huge break on sunday when KEVIN LOVE of the CAVALIERS dislocated his shoulder during their game with the BOSTON CELTICS. love will be out a minimum of two weeks which means he misses the first three games of the series against the bulls........If the bulls stop screwing around and eliminate the MILWAUKEE BUCKS tonite.  

28 turnovers and MR. SOFTEE spits the bit.....TWICE.....in crunch time.  yeesh.

THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS move on to the second round against the MINNESOTA WILD, the team with the hottest goaltender in the league.  uh-oh.   historically, one team will catch fire and ride the shoulders of their goaltender to the finals.  they don't always win the cup but they elimate some high flying teams along the way.  BEWARE.

THE WHITE SOX appear to be righting the ship after sweeping a doubleheader from KANSAS CITY on sunday and pulling to within a game of .500 after starting the season 0-4.  they still have five starters hitting less than .225 but if the bats wake up................

the MANNY PACQUIAO-FLOYD MAYWEATHER "fight of the century" is this coming saturday.  pay per view will cost you a hundred bucks but if you bet another hundred on underdog manny and he wins, you'll get $170 which will pay for the PPV and put seventy more in your pocket! WHOYAGOT?

and to whet your gambling appetite, the KENTUCKY DERBY runs about 5 hours before the fight.  looking for a kismet wager?  how about ITSAKNOCKOUT at 40-1??? c'mon, think about it.

that's it.  enjoy the week!
