What Happened All Week? Or: The Bulls Take Rose and the Sox Bitch-Slap the Cubs

So, as I hoped and expected, the Bulls took Derrick Rose with the top overall pick in this year's NBA draft. A huge move for the team, who needed a dynamic guard. Granted they also need an inside scoring presence, but they're closer to getting that from Drew Gooden than they are to getting guard play from Hinrich/Gordon/Duhon/pu-pu platter. Rose can come in and be an impact player immediately a la Chris Paul.

In the baseball world, the Cubs followed their sweep of the White Sox by losing 2 of 3 to the Orioles at home, then getting swept by the same Sox to plummet to 49-33. Still good, but since the wildly overachieving Cardinals refuse to remember that they suck, it's only good for a 2.5 game lead. The Sox, meanwhile, maintain their 1.5 game lead on the red-hot Twins.

Not much else going on, but with me starting a new and less inconsistently scheduled job tomorrow, we'll see if I can't get better about consistent posting.
