2. Out of the frying pan …
If Maddux does come back, he’ll go from being despised by North Siders to being reviled by South Siders. As long as some Chicagoan is mad at him, all is right in Greg’s world.
3. No minor miracle
Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry had great games–at the same time–to edge the Bulls past the Raptors. Are we talking Raptors or rapture here?
4. But they’ve learned a lesson
The NCAA cited the University of Washington in the gambling flap that led to coach Rick Neuheisel’s firing. Their compliance ace was understandably flushed.
5. I’d like to thank my trainer
The targets of the THG probe admitted they gave top athletes steroids, according to court documents. Depending on when these players are “outed,” this year’s ESPY awards could become the “Gasp”-eys.
SIXTH MAN
6. Hurtful words
On the White Sox’s Web site countdown Tuesday night, it was fewer than two days until pitchers and catchers report.
Or until Frank Thomas throws out the game’s first “bitch.”
