Description
Scott Skiles paid for the 9-16 record of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday by losing his job. The Bulls last game was a 116-98 loss at the hands of the Houston Rockets. The Bulls were booed heavily throughout the game from the 22,434 in attendance. After the game Bulls center Ben Wallace said he would welcome a front office change.

“That’s one of those things that goes along with this league,” said Wallace. “Change is not always bad. If everybody wants to be here we have to step it up and go out there and play basketball.”

Greg Oden
The top pick in the June NBA draft, Greg Oden, will be out for the season. Oden had micro-fracture surgery on his knee, and will be on crutches for the next 8 weeks.

“Greg looked at me as he was coming out of his surgery, and he and his mom, Zoe, probably said ‘sorry’ 20 times,” Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said. “I could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. And as a leader and as leaders of this organization, my first thought was how lucky we were to have a guy that cares about the organization that much.”

D’Backs place Randy Johnson on DL

The Diamondbacks have placed starting pitcher Randy Johnson on the 15-day disabled list, citing “muscle tightness in back” as the issue. If it were something that minor, would he even be placed on the DL in the first place? Me thinks Arizona is hiding something.

So far this season Johnson has started 9 games for a record of 4-2. This year he has an ERA of 3.52, which is his lowest since 2004. Unfortunately, he’s also on pace for the least games he’s played since 1996, when he pitched in only 14 games for the Mariners. Edgar Gonzalez will take Randy’s spot against the Orioles, and Enrique Gonzalez (no relation) has been called up to join the Diamondback’s bullpen until the Big Unit makes his Big Recovery.

As many of you know, it’s not officially Summer until Daunte Culpepper pops out of his hole and sees his shadow; or until he gets hurt. I’m not sure if he saw his shadow yet, but guess what? Daunte is hurt! Again! How unexpected!

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Mr. Culpepper was involved in a rear-ending on a Florida freeway last night, not terribly unlike the rear-ending he has given Miami Dolphin fans for the past season. Initial reports have stated he has bruised and possibly torn something in his hand. They’ve listed it as his non-throwing hand, but given his recent performances, that could very well be either one.

Dropping Dimes: Do Not Draft Amare Stoudemire!

Okay, some of you are probably still infatuated with what Stoudemire did during the 2004-2005 season and it’s nothing to sneeze at - 26.0 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 1.0 spg, 1.6 bpg, 55.9 FG%, and a big man that can actually shoot free throws, my word, at a 73.3% clip!  And on top of all those very good numbers, Stoudemire was center eligible!  That in itself elevates his value a great deal!  But, did you read the subject line?  I’m sure you did.  What does it say?  That’s right… despite all that good stuff during the aforementioned season, do not draft Amare Stoudemire.

Bartolo Colon injured againLos Angeles Angels SP Bartolo Colon, last season’s A.L. Cy Young winner, has a rotator cuff problem that will need to be fixed, either by aggressive rehabilitation or the dreaded “S” word - surgery.  In either case, the 33-year-old Colon will need to do something and it’s probably going to have to be next season considering his recent injury history.  Colon was on the D.L. for two months earlier in the season from April 19 - June 17 with inflammation in his throwing shoulder and just recently went back on it with tendinitis in his triceps.  In only 10 starts, Colon is 1-5 with a 5.11 ERA.
