Midweek musings: Former Chicago Bulls star and current Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan was at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday night (April 24). Perhaps he was there to make himself feel good about his woeful franchise. After all you can measure Charlotte’s futility in decades as opposed to the Cubs who can do so in terms of a century-plus.
* Thanks to their 3-2 victory Tuesday in 10 innings, the Cubs are assured of their first series victory of the season. At this rate, they might keep their total losses for the season to less than 100 — but only if they can keep playing the Cardinals for 45-50 times in 2012.
* With the Miami Heat losing Tuesday (while resting its star players), the Chicago Bulls earn — OK, more like back in to — the top seed in the East for the NBA’s postseason. Which means Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau should have the luxury of resting injured players — most notably reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose — to have the team in shape for a playoff run rather than a playoff limp.
* The NBA has suspended Metta World Peace of the Los Angeles Lakers for seven games without pay for throwing an elbow that concussed James Harden of the Oklahoma City Thunder during Sunday’s game. It appears NBA commissioner David Stern wants to give Peace a chance. Well, actually another one for the multiple offender formerly known as Ron Artest.
