Congrats to former NBA players Terry Porter and Vinny Del Negro. Porter has officially accepted the head coaching position in the valley of the sun. Phoenix Suns introduced him as their new head coach this morning. Potter played guard for 17 years in the NBA and complied a 71-93 record as a head coach with the Milwaukee Bucks from 2003-2005. During his two year stint, he made one playoff appearance bowing out in the first round. Reports out of Chicago have Del Negro ready to accept the head spot for the Bulls. Vinny played for multiple teams from 1988-2002. He recently was the assistant GM for the Phoenix Suns, but has made no secrets about his desire to become a head coach. Here's his chance and with the first pick in this year's draft, Vinny must be chopping at the bit to get into Chicago and sign the deal. We are still awaiting the Pistons coaching decision, but yet another former baller is waiting for the call. Reports have current Detroit assistant Michael Curry getting "the D" gig. I say there could be a surprise in store. Stay tuned.
***this just in...Michael Curry has been named the Detroit Pistons head coach.***
For the record...

Today's Pick...
--Cincinnati and Florida wraps up their 4 game series this evening in Miami. I'm all about Reds starting pitcher Edinson Volquez (8-1, 1.35 era). This guy has been absolutely sick this year. He faces Mark Hendrickson (7-3, 5.33 era). Hendrickson has been shaky his last three starts giving up an average of 6+ run during that span and his last two starts vs Red have been losses. Reds -130
--Los Angeles Angels host the surprising Tampa Bay Rays tonight. Angels had a 7 game winning streak snapped yesterday in Oakland while the Rays have been 2-4 on their current road swing. Tampa swept the Halos earlier this year in Florida, but LA sends out Joe Saunders (9-2, 2.63 era) vs Edwin Jackson (3-5, 3.95 era) Jackson lost both games in LA last year giving up 13 runs in those starts while Saunders only gave up 1 run in Tampa earlier this season in a 2-0 loss. Look for some revenge tonight. Angels -145
Have Fun!!!
