Bulls say no to T-Mac hopefully

On Monday, Tracy McGrady had a tryout/workout with the Chicago Bulls. From reports it wasn't a good tryout, saying his knee is not getting the lift it used to and could only shoot jumpers, so the Bulls will take a pass in my humble opinon.

But I want to blog about how T-Mac said to the reporters in his interview during his tryout. He said, he doesn't see himself coming off the bench now that he's fully healthy,and without him and Carlos Boozer the Bulls are a 500. team and said that they were 30 points better with him on the team. All I can say in a Chad Ochocinco voice "CHILD PLEASE."

I couldn't help see the fact T-Mac already thinks he's on the team by using "we" and "us" in the sound bytes. I felt the Bulls were actually a better than a 500. team last year, if some key players stayed healthy down the stretch. Let's face it, if the Bulls would atleast had a compotent coach they would've won 45 and dare I say 50 games. Don't know what T-Mac is talking about.

Honestly, I was on the fence about signing McGrady, but now, no way! Not only after what he said, but he's not willing come off the bench because he thinks he's still the man. No wonder the roster depleted Knicks didn't want to re-sign him. He doesn't fit the Bulls style of play, Bulls want to run in transition and play defense, Tracy at his best was a half court player that created for himself and plays defense when he felt like it.

He never played all 82 games in a season his career and never got out of the 1st round in the playoffs his career ever. I know some fans will blame the Bulls for not signing McGrady but he's not the same guy anymore. Don't look at him as T-Mac circa 02-03, look at him as Tracy McGrady 2010.

MLB Trade deadline: Buyers and Sellers

Ok the trade deadline is approaching in a few days, and our Chicago teams are going in the opposite directions, the White Sox are currently in 1st place in AL Central are going to be buying to add, And the Cubs will be the sellers since they are 10.5 games back of the Cardinals/Reds. So let's break it down:

The Sox want/need a left handed power bat and maybe a starting pitcher to replace Jake Peavy. Adam Dunn name has came up often in trade talks but the Washington Nationals GM wants more than the Sox want to give up and Dunn wants acontract extension. Prince Fielder is available but the Brewers want top propects which the Sox don't have enough of, also he's a Scott Boras (agent) client whom have a tendacy to test the free agency market and Boras isn't well liked by Sox GM Kenny Williams.

I think the Sox will eventually will get the deal Dunn,(pun intended) He doesn't hit for average,strikeout a lot,and doesn't play the field particularly well, but he does provides power from the left side of the plate and as much as he strikes out he walks alot as well and his career OBP 382, which would cause hope for the Sox to go all way to the world series.

The Cubs are trying to cut payroll and hope to get some good prospects, Derek Lee already turn down a trade to the LA Angels, and Ted Lilly looks to be on the move as well to a team that needs left handed pitching to solidify their playoff chances. But it will be tough for the Cubs to trade their guys like Lee(No Trade Clause), Fukudome, and Soriano (Expensive Contracts) And Carlos Zambrano (ineffective) have all under preformed for Other teams that would take a chance on them. Good Luck Cubs!!

I can't wait until 3pm saturday for who will be switching jerseys and will those trades propel their respective teams to the promise land.

Derrik Rose - USA TEAM

Derrik Rose has made the cut and they are now down to 15 players with 3 more to be cut next. Derrik Rose is a true humble champion and will wear that USA jersey with pride and excellence.
Derrik Rose is the pride of The Chicago Bulls and soon to be the pride of The USA.

Sox Keep Rolling!

The White Sox keep rolling on and keep on winning. They are keeping the hearts and minds positive here in Chicago.
Now, Kenny Williams should make one or two HUGE move before the trade deadline and they should be fine. If they keep playing this way, they will have a legitimate chance to go to and win THE WORLD SERIES.
GO GO WHITE SOX

Put a fork in them, they are done!

Looks like the CUBS are FINALLY OFFICIALLY DONE! That is right, we can all just forget about the Cubs turning things around. They are done. Put a fork in it. Forget about any hopes of them turning things around this season. Just move along now, nothing to see here.
MAYBE NEXT YEAR?

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! BUT NOT ENOUGH!

IS IT TO LATE FOR THE CUBS? CAN THEY COME BACK AND MAKE IT TO THE PLAY OFFS AGAIN? CAN THEY LET LOU LEAVE ON TOP, OR ARE THEY GOING TO LOSE TO THE END? THEY CAN STILL DO IT! JUST LOOK AT WHAT THE WHITE SOX HAVE DONE. THE CUBS STILL HAVE AN OUTSIDE CHANCE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
LET'S GO CUBS!
CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

THE WHITE SOX ARE ON FIRE

THE GUNS ARE BLAZING AND THE WHITE SOX ARE FIRING THEM. THEY ARE NUMBER ONE IN THEIR DIVISION AND NUMBER ONE IN CHICAGO. THEY HAVE KEPT THIS CITY ON FIRE JUST AS THE BLAZE STARTED TO DULL AFTER THE BLACKHAWKS WON THE STANLEY CUP.
NOW ALL WE CAN DO IS KEEP ON PLAYING OZZIE BALL AND ALL THE WAY TO THE WORLD SERIES.
WHITE SOX, WHITE SOX, GO GO WHITE SOX!
