After a two-week hiatus due to White Sox baseball, Terry & Dan B. take the "Bud Light 'Who Needs Two?' Tavern Tour" back on the road this afternoon. This time, they'll be thisclose to Wrigley Field, broadcasting live from Irish Oak, 3511 N. Clark in Wrigleyville. Needless to say, the guys have a great deal to talk about after a winless Thursday for 4 of our local sports teams for the first time since 2007. What will they discuss first?
Could they once again try to downplay last night's clunker by the Bulls in Miami in which they turned it over 13 times, scored just 32 points in the 2nd half and had no answer for the NBA's likely MVP in LeBron James in the Bulls' 83-72 loss to the Heat in the final meeting between the 2 teams? There's a pretty good chance they'll talk about what went wrong last night, not to mention the ongoing anxiety regarding Derrick Rose's right foot/ankle injury and the very real possibility that the Bulls might have kissed home court advantage and the #1 seed goodbye too. Turner Sports' Craig Sager, loud sportcoat and all, reported during the NBA/TNT broadcast last night that fluid in Rose's ankle was caused by it being wrapped too tight during Sunday's OT win over the Pistons in Auburn Hilla, MI. A report Thibodeau would later deny.
The Blackhawks' season appears on the brink after another punch to the gut, a second straight 3-2 loss in OT to the Coyotes in Game 4, and the very real possibility that Game 5 tomorrow night in Glendale, AZ could be curtains for the guys in the Indianhead sweaters with one more loss. I'm also reasonably sure that the guys will point the finger somewhere for the loss, and whether Hawks' goalie Corey Crawford is also, as the guys would say, "bad at hockey".
The Hawks are also hopeful that NHL V.P. of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan throws the book at thug Raffi Torres for his cheap shot at Marian Hossa early in Game 3 and that Torres is suspended for quite sometime to come. There's supposed to be a hearing on that later today, and we'll see if the NHL indeed takes severe action and how many games Torres is out after being suspended "indefinitely" before Game 4.
If that's not bad enough, there's bad Chicago baseball on both sides of town, with the Cubs now 3-10 hosting the Reds down the street, weather permitting. The White Sox take a 6-6 record to Seattle to start a 6 game Western road trip later tonight on The SCORE/White Sox Radio Network with Chris Sale starting the weekend series at Safeco Field come 9p. If recent history means anything, Southside misery likely continues. Come 2p, White Sox TV analyst and The SCORE's Chicago Baseball Analyst Steve Stone checks in from Seattle for a good half hour of Sox & Cubs' chatter at his regular time every Friday afternoon.
All of that and who knows what else come 1:15p or so, complete with the Friday open & SCORE Production Director Russ Mitera's official introduction. The guys will also have Bulls' tickets to give away, as far as I know anyway...
