White Sox Carlos Quentin broken wrist

(Chicago, IL) - Last week, Chicago White Sox star and possible American League MVP Carlos Quentin went down with a wrist injury. But it wasn’t until late in the week that the truth about the injury was revealed - both in severity and cause.

Quentin’s wrist was broken and would require likely season-ending surgery. How could this cruel joke have happened to the White Sox; to such an important player at such a critical juncture? But more importantly, how did the injury really happen? Read more »

Chicago Bulls Decide to Go Very Young in NBA Draft - Take Freshman Derrick Rose in First, Zygote in Second

Derrick Rose Bulls Draft

(New York, NY) - The 2008 NBA Draft went off last night without a hitch, and many teams dramatically improved their overall situation with draft-day deals. But the storyline dominating the draft was the emergence of young stars as the players every team was targeting. A record 12 freshman were drafted, and it was the first time ever that freshman went 1-2-3 in the draft - though freshman Greg Oden and Kevin Durant went 1-2 last year.
