MLB TV and a NBA Trade

These are two highly unrelated topics, but here we go:

1) I just realized that I get MLB TV. Channel 412 on Comcast is on like Donkey Kong! I just figured that since my current cable package doesn't include the NFL Network, that MLB TV wouldn't be included either. I was so wonderfully wrong. I can't wait to watch hours of Harold Reynolds, Al Leiter, Barry Larkin, and anyone else they're planning to roll out. In fact, I might spring for MLB Extra Innings this year- though I'm scared about what that might do to my productivity levels. Oh well, who cares- I'm so ready for baseball season.

2) The Bulls traded Drew Gooden, Cedric Simmons, Andres Nocioni, and some other dude for Brad Miller and John Salmons. I have no idea who wins this trade, but it is pretty cool that my favorite team traded players to my local team. That way I get continue to follow these under performing slubs. I will say that Nocioni will be missed, and I'm glad to pick up Brad Miller, but overall, this doesn't make either team that much better or that much worse. Chime in if you think differently.

The Bulls definitely won that trade. John Salmons is having a career year and he basically gets paid peanuts. He's one of the best values in the league.

I do like Nocioni, but he's been injured this season.

Kings did this purely for financial reasons and they lose yet another trade.

Excellent review Pat- as Bulls fan it makes me feel good that they came out on top... as a Sacramento resident, it sucks that the product is getting even worse before it gets better.

It's nice to see that it took exactly one year for the Bulls to realize that Drew Gooden and Larry Hughes are the worst two players in the league.

Nocioni is one of my least favorite players in the league.

Took the Bulls one year.

Took me five seconds. I was less upset with Drew Gooden, but Larry Hughes is AWFUL.
