Never thought I would type this in May but THE WHITE SOX STINK! Inconsistent starters, an absolutely terrible bullpen and even worse defense...ranked 24th in the league. They can hit the ball but timely hitting is still missing LUIS ROBERT is a stud. I will give them thru the Memorial Day weekend .....and then the flag comes down, Nothing but central division foes thru Sunday the 28th.
*******
Now the CUBS have suddenly realized that they have a chance to climb the mountain with the central division having a very down year and win the damn thing, being only 4 games out. The Pirates will sink like a brick and then it's the just the Brewers in their way so IF MANAGEMENT IS SERIOUS and the cubs are still contending by the mid-June, look for them to pull off a trade for a starting pitcher. I can't believe i'm typing this but I think they have a real shot at the division.

I'm heading to the poor house betting on the NBA so thank the good Lord they're down to just 4 teams. Doc Rivers couldn't win a game 7 if the other team played with blindfolds. TEN times his team has crashed and burned in a game 7, more than any other coach in NBA history but of course, that's who I had yesterday when they rolled over and played dead, losing by 24 points. And now I'm taking Denver over the Lakers..............
*******
I didn't forget about the beloved CHICAGO BEARS, who hauled in a bunch of decent players who will definitely help the team BUT A WORD OF CAUTION: they won 4 games last year. four. quattro. vier. quatre. cuatro. FOUR. And while the new guys will definitely upgrade the team, for the most part they aren't superstars, just a little better than the other guys from last year.
Las Vegas is not in the habit of giving away free money and they have the win total set at 7.5 and last year was 6.5 so the big boys see just a one game difference and the Bears didn't come close to last year's number. This year, they open against the Packers and then go to Tampa and that's two very winnable games but the first true test will be 9/24 when they travel to Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes, the guy they passed on to draft Mitch Trubisky. (shivers just ran up my spine). Then you'll have a better idea.
*******
Explain the St. Louis Cardinals to me. They make big news by telling former Cub Willson Contreras that he's not going to catch anymore and banish him to left field and DH for the rest of the year, throwing shade on his catching abilities, or lack thereof. That demotion lasted a week and he'll be catching tonight in Milwaukee. And he's signed for three years for a bunch of money.
*******
Speaking of big contracts, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has 193 million dollars coming to him over the next five years but on Sunday he was suspended for the second time in two months for flashing a handgun on Instagram. He was suspended for 8 games in March for the same violation in a nightclub in Denver and went into counseling before being reinstated but now he has been "suspended from all team activities and is not allowed on the premises" when the new video surfaced showing him with a gun and jiggywhoppin to rap/hip hop inside a car. Morant is very talented and also very stupid. Teams can void contracts and he'll be bagging groceries very soon if he doesn't clean his act up.

And good riddance to aaron rodgers and his smarmy obnoxious attitude and it makes me smile when i read the green bay poll where 75% said they were happy to see him go and they were tired of his attitude. And now Mr Hypocrite shows up in New York with a new haircut and clean shaven and doesn't mention word one about doing drugs or sitting in the dark. "it's all about football with me" was his comment and I guarantee you that some media people sat down with him and warned him about that hippie act of his not playing well in the Big Apple. We'll see....and I wish him the worst on the football field.
*******
Only the Cubs.....they put in new lights and.........they're too bright, blinding the players in the outfield. See what happens when you try and improve a sow's ear?
*******
Welcome back soon to White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendricks, who is returning from a battle with cancer. Please be patient as the fear is he's coming back before being fully recovered. We wish you well Big Guy!

The Chicago Blackhawks are still at the clinic having the horseshoe removed from their ass after defying the odds and winning the #1 pick in the upcoming NHL draft when they only had an 11% chance of winning the top spot. CONNOR BEDARD is being heralded as the best player in the draft for the past 8 years and described by scouts as a 'generational player.'
*******
I ain't got nuttin else. ENJOY YOUR WEEK!
