5/6 CUBS (Feldman) vs. Rangers (Tepesch) 7:05 WCIU

Make it 4/5. -
In game 2 I expect LeBron on Nate Robinson in the 4th.

Even in a 9-1 game, 3/4 of Aramis Fan's posts are negative crap. -
You know what, I don't think this Teague-Cook back court is going to be enough to win the game.
-
Hot rumor is that the Nets want to get Jerry Sloan for their next coach. Wouldn't that be fun.
-
It all depends on how they can manage to do defensively. If they can completely own the boards (as they probably should) and force Miami into low percentage shots, the score will be close by default. The Heat will force the Bulls into bad shots, but Nate always takes bad shots, so it's nothing different than the usual offense.

Coming into today, White Sox OF Dewayne Wise had a career OBP of .264, which is the lowest career OBP in history for any OF with at least 1,000 career plate appearances. Today, though, he's 1-2 with a single (the only hit off Shields), so he may have bumped himself ahead of the next worst OBP of all time, Kenny Williams (.269).
-
Down side of winning in 7 is they're practically already on their way to Miami for an early Monday evening game.
-
Early candidate for worst sac bunt of the year: In Colorado, in the 4th inning, leading 3-2, after Matt Moore had just walked pitcher Jeff Francis on 4 pitches to put 2 on with 0 out, Dexter Fowler, who is hitting .303/.410/.606, sac bunted the two runners over. The Rockies failed to score in the inning, and now trail by one. EDIT: And to top it off, Fowler was actually injured on the sac bunt try and is now out of the game.

Who do you bump to make room for Garza when he's ready? If everyone continues to be productive, you can start rotating starters in an out on a near-monthly basis, with the odd man out being the long man when one of the starters doesn't have it that day. Work towards a goal of each pitcher getting 25-28 starts on the year, maybe more for Samardzija if you want to see how many innings he can handle.

David Kahn out as Wolves president.
-
All Barcelona needs is 7 goals in the next 15 minutes and they're right back in this thing.

Things that stuck out to me from last night's stat sheet: - Michael Roszival led the Hawks with just over 27 minutes of ice time. - Ryan Suter led the Wild with just over 41 minutes of ice time. - Every Hawks player had a positive CORSI last night except Bryan Bickell, led by Keith, Hammer and Hossa with +10. - Every Wild player had a negative CORSI last night except Zenon Konopka(?), "led" by Jared Spurgeon with -13, Ryan Suter with -12, and Zack Parise with -11.
-
My only concern about the Hawks is that they haven't had to play with a sense of urgency for about two months now. They've continued to win anyway, though, so it's not much of a concern.
-
A great breakdown of the 1 in 5000 comeback from the Bulls, and how it wasn't much of a Nets choke-job, just great coaching by Thibs and Nate Robinson never missing shots: http://www.theteamrebound.com/2013/04/14-points-in-6-possessions-how-bulls.html

And to think the Marlins as a team only had 7 HRs coming into this series.
-
The Bulls more than doubled up the Pacers' score yesterday.
-
So it begins. Bring on the Wild.

4/27 Cubs (Wood) @ Marlins (Sanabia) 6:10 p.m. CT, CSN+

Have you seen the Marlins lineup? No reason to give Stanton anything. -
Columbus scored late in the 3rd to go up 1 and just hit an empty netter with 30 seconds to play, and Detroit still leads 3-0 with a minute to play. Detroit is the 7th seed now, and the 8th seed depends whether Minnesota wins or loses.
-
Detroit up 3-0 on Dallas now with 8 to go in the 3rd, meaning they've just about got the 7 seed wrapped up. Minnesota leads Colorado 2-1 after 2 periods. Columbus tied up Nashville 1-1 with 6 to play, but need Minnesota to lose for the result to mean anything.
-
Odds up to about 42% that the Hawks first round opponent will be Minnesota. EDIT: Columbus 35%, Detroit 23%

Question Rose's motivations all you like, but after a win like this, "[expletive] Rose" being literally the first response is a little bizarre and ridiculous.

Nate Robinson being all Nate Robinson:
