For the bargain basement price of $55 million over five years, Detroit gets to enjoy a really terrific shooting guard. Being a natural fan of the grass on the other side, my first thought is to wonder about how much closer the Pistons would be to 2004 had they created an A.I. & Ben Gordon back court. But A.I is on the way out, as is Rasheed Wallace. Whatever team lands Wallace will be better off than the one losing him. That makes me feel like we're going to see a similar Detroit team next year as we did this year.Even with the rebuilding phase, Gordon's going to a good team in Detroit. Chicago's on the ball too, but it's always exciting for a player to join a competitive franchise. Mark DeRosa (right)
was given a gift from the baseball Gods by getting dealt from Cleveland to St. Lou. Not 76 hours after he arrives at Busch Stadium he's getting x-rays on his wrist. He says he hurt it swinging and missing - don't know how long he'll be sidelined as he's currently day-to-day. But the Cards are beak deep in a pennant race and DeRosa was brought in to fill the gap Troy Glaus has left by being on the DL. Getting hurt immediately after joining the team is frustrating for DeRosa, but the timing makes it that much worse for his teammates.BSOTD: Jungleland
