"I guess it was good news, but personally disappointing for me," Peavy told reporters Wednesday in the visitor's clubhouse at Tropicana Field. "I felt I wasnt far away and was feeling so good. To feel something close to what I felt before I blew it out at the repair site (below the right shoulder) was a disturbing thing." (chicagosports.com)
Korver wants another shot at Barkley
The Bulls guard wants another chance after being caught off guard when asking TNT analyst Charles Barkley a question for their "Ask Charles" segment during Game 2.
I had to do it on the spot, Korver said Wednesday. That was the first thing that came to my mind. If I had more time to think about it, I was going to say: Ive heard you were a 6-foot-4 power forward. If thats the case, that makes you the same height as, like, Keith Bogans. So my question to you, Charles, is: If I saw you and Keith Bogans walking down the street, who would be taller?

Barkley was listed at 6-6 but said hes 6-4 . Thats about three inches shorter than Korver, who rarely ventures into the lane. (chicagobreakingsports.com)
Blackhawks fans abuse Canucks executives?
A change to the seating arrangements in the United Center for the playoffs led to the Vancouver management contingent being seated right above some of the more rabid fans in the cheap seats, and not surprisingly once the Hawks got up in the game they became quite bellicose.
And they did so using the most foul language one might imagine.
By the time your agent arrived, fully four rows of people largely dressed in Blackhawk jerseys were turned around and hurling abuse largely directed at Mike Gillis and Laurence Gilman, but everyone else seated in the box as well, including Stan Smyl and Lorne Henning.
We took it for a couple of periods before somebody got fed up and said, 'Why don't you shut up and go back to your mother's basement?' and of course that really got them going, said Gilman. It's pretty tiring hearing that over a long night. (theprovince.com)

NIU linebacker leaves hospital after being shot
Northern Illinois linebacker Devon Butler, who was shot in the upper back two weeks ago, was released from the hospital where he had been since April 6 to begin his recovery from the gunshot wound. His condition was serious or critical much of that time.
Any timetable for his return, if he can ever come back, remains unkown. Nobodys focusing on football with him right now, head coach Dave Doeren said. Two weeks ago, we didnt know if he was going to live. The big thing for him right now is not rushing him." (sportingnews.com)
