The view from the cheap seats…

What a great sports weekend, especially for those of us that live in Chicago….

Both the Blackhawks and the Bulls won crucial first round games…the Hawks to go up 3-2 over Calgary, the Bulls to even the series with the defending champ Celtics at 2-2…so far the Bulls have won two overtime games in dramatic fashion…you just can’t call them the baby Bulls anymore…they are growing up very quickly and will go as far as the ‘09 ROY Derrick Rose can take them…if you haven’t been watching, tune in just to see the battle between Rose and Boston’s Rondo, who is averaging a triple double in the series…it is must see playoff action…

The Cubs finally beat the Cardinals in STL, ending a 4 game skid…too early to panic, but they haven’t looked like world beaters so far…the Sox lost by two touchdowns on Sat, but came back strong on Sunday…and then there is the NFL Draft!

The Bears got a strong armed QB out of Vanderbilt with their 1st Round choice…Jay Cutler…although he went through Denver first…and so the actual draft was very quiet for Bears fans as another WR from Oklahoma was picked…hope he turns out better than Mark Bradley…only about 12 weeks to the start of training camp!

So a very exciting weekend in Chicago sports…hope yours was just as fun!
