email just received from Sox WHITE SOX OPTION JOE BORCHARD TO CLASS AAA CHARLOTTE; CLAIM CATCHER MICHAEL RIVERA OFF WAIVERS FROM SAN DIEGO CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox optioned outfielder Joe Borchard to Class AAA Charlotte following Sunday’s game at Los Angeles and also have claimed catcher Michael Rivera off waivers from San Diego. Rivera will be optioned to Charlotte. Borchard, 24, batted .184 (13-49) with one home run and five RBI in 16 games (15 starts) with the White Sox after being recalled from Charlotte on May 23. He was the Sox first-round draft choice (12th overall) in June 2000. Rivera, 26, batted .170 (9-53) with one home run and two RBI in 19 games with the Padres this season and .160 (8-50) in 13 games with Class AAA Portland. He was acquired from Detroit on November 15, 2002 in exchange for outfielder Gene Kingsale. Rivera, a 6-0, 210-pounder, is a career .218 (112-515) hitter with five homers and 37 RBI in parts of three major-league seasons with Detroit (2001-02) and San Diego (2003). He appeared in 39 games with Detroit in 2002, hitting .227 (30-132) with one home run and 11 RBI. Rivera has thrown out 29.8 percent (14 of 47) attempted baserunners in his career. „Michael provides us with another option at a position where it is difficult to build depth,“ said Rick Hahn, White Sox assistant general manager. „He is solid defensively, and hopefully with consistent playing time and working with our staff, he will be able to regain the offensive form he displayed in the minor leagues the last few seasons.“ Rivera is a career .268 (559-2,086) hitter with 101 home runs and 400 RBI in 572 career minor-league games. Rivera was named the Tigers co-Minor League Player of the Year in 2001 after hitting .289 (120-415) with 33 home runs and 101 RBI at Class AA Erie and batted .249 (66-265) with 20 homers and 53 RBI at Class AAA Toledo in 2002.

then you might have missed the reports that Bush kept sending CIA reports back to the CIA (and NSA) with the insructions to make the reports match what Bush had pre determined to do. The only person who misled anyone is Bush tricking the American people, and using Colin Powel to lie to lie to the UN. The NPR site would have this info, broadcast last Saturday, I believe.

in G W Bush's head.

things that happened in the 19th century are not germane to this discussion

I missed the original story on this. If the players are not wearing the uniforms of the team for which they play rather some generic league uniform, the once again MLB has made a stupid dumb ass decision/

entering wrigley implies a certain lack of baseball knolwedge - and lack of taste -

it better not be - we've seen Daubach in right and he has no place there ever ever not ever and only never again Little known fact: Little Mr. Overnight and I put the game on when we were leaving for home and the score was 2-0 LA and he said, they need us, and we started cheering in the car and before you knew it, 2-2 - then 7-2 - the credit all goes to us!

lol cw... well his sister has no talent as an actress, but has baseball smarts huh????? she promos for the right team...... lol lol lol............ sorry couldnt resist...... my bad..... John's version was always that Joan was a scrubs fan too so since I don't get Chicago tv (which I should if I am going to be on it! ) I was surprised to hear Joan was on tv otherwise - but other than John saying Joan is a scrubs fan, I can't recall her ever saying that so??

from the song they were playing for Frank during the home scrubs series last year - Frank and I jam together on this all the time!

neither have I - and you need to be here - you talked to Alterity? I should be in touch - the MLB boards are crashing fast in terms of any value - wish he were back moderating - email me what he is doing, it will stay with me - the decision to quit all the html happened when I was in Chicago I guess - what was the problem they think they are correcting? By the way, after the Overnight, I love JR - anyone whose organization puts on an event like that deserves praise - everyone that I spoke with there was just enthralled by the magic of it all - kind of Ravinia, laying on the grass and all enjoying some incredible group experiences - the kid was just as psuched about it all after we spent the afternoon with my father and driving 4 hours as he was when it was happening - what an experience. Wow.

Whitesox247 and I co-wrote this stirring salute to Frank and after Frank's weekend in LA, time to sing this again - slightly changed from the original -- found a better wording in one line - Two tailgaters go round the outside, Round the outside, round the outside Guess whos back, back again Hurt is back Tell a friend Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back! He created a media monster, cuz nobody wants To see Frank no more They want Hurt on chopped liver Well if you want Hurt, then this is what he'll give ya.... 50 home runs and an MVP sticker Some concourse shots that'll jump start your heart quicker than a shock when you get shocked at U.S. Cellular by the rest of the Sox who will co-operating When Frank's rockin the Cell and the Sox operatin (hey!!) You waited this long, now stop debating Cause Frank's back, Twins on the rag and ovu-lating I know that you got a job Mariotti but our 2003 Sox will be complicating So the Tribune Comp. won't let Frank be or let Frank be he, so let me see They try to shut us down in the MLB But Frank will lead us, in our victories.

we haven't sat together yet and this is June - if you have an extra ticket I won't contact the agent - I really want that bobble head - I walked out of Ikea with two lambskins - don't ask - I have never in my life seen a more crowded store -

you going? I am coming back in for that - may be by myself - do have an extra ticket or should I get through my agent and try and hook up with you? But then I won't be able to get downstairs if I buy a cheap seat -

the secret panel gave great advice and now the realtor wants to talk to me - I think we are about $15,000 apart right now - then it got weird. My dad took us to Ikea to get my opinion on some new furniture - what a f***ing crowd that store is!

he's my grandkid - I didn't get such an old grandkid at my such young age by any lack of knowledge about some things in my family! By the way, after we left the park, went to my dad's - he is moving as tou know after 49 years at the same place - he had packed for me my old colection of Sox scorecards from eons ago - you know me and scorecards - and all my old media guides and Sox magazines - some stuff I had forgotten I owned! I have the illustrated history of Comiskey Park! and a stack of stuff way too much to go through tonight - first gem I found was a scorecard from a one hitter I saw Tim Belcher pitch in 1993! And I came within 94 people of guessing the attendance without the use of that 4 choice s***, I just was that close to guessing on my own! I am good, huh? It was the game Sax went down on the first pitch and no one knew why and to this day I don't think we ever heard what haopened to him, he wasn't hit - Rock came in for him and walked - the rest of the starters, exactly as I listed them - Joey, Big Hurt, Bo, Ellis, Robin, One-Dog, Kark, and Craig - oh the good old days!

the kid cracked up as soon as we entered the locker room when he spied one item - then we checked each cubicle - hell, we wanted a total tour!!!!!! and we got it!!!!!!! damned amazing what is found on a ledge of a locker!!!!!

I'd love that - you should have seen him smile all day today - I was never more proud or happy to be a Sox fan - if you could get a copy I'd so grateful, I am sitting here crying thinking about what a sweet thing that would be to have for him, that videotape - you should have seen him smile as he slept - plus if you get me a copy, I'll tell everyone what each player has in the cubicle in the locker room - let me say, I was surprised! But no secrets spilled unless I get a copy! but let me say that the players didn't know we would be in the locker room so it was as they left it and a lot of personality secrets were revealed... I will say, I never saw so much hair gel in my life! and that is the most mild thing we discovered -

wow!!!!! we were interviewed, videotaped, filmed - you know what a charming and photogenic duo the kid and I make! I wish I had a copy of the ABC thing - thanks for letting me know - The kid wore a shirt featuring an exploding bat...

289 - they did the guess the attendance quiz! and $250 @ and cheap at that price there is no way to put a price on what we experienced - 70 years from now when I am long dead and he is old he'll be tellig my great grandson about our night (our first annual night! ) at Comiskey/the Cell -

I am sure that is great - glad they do it! A few months ago I posted about Comiskey being more familiar to me than my own living room - after an evening and night and morning of running all over the Cell and sleeping both in the outifeld and in the Club section - it makes it more a magical home than ever. I cannot describe what it looks like when you lay on the grass and feel it and see it - the home of the Sox, my home - wow - my grandkid says, "I want to do this every year!" I think he has damn good odds of that!

excted at his age? not as excited as me at my age! it was the most magical evening - the Sox had to win last night because it was too perfect - and had to win today so we could keep the buzz going on the ride home - always thought Field of Dreams was kind of sappy but to see those glorious 1917/1919 White Sox uniforms busting out of the cornfield on the Sox scoreboard while lying on the outfield grass at 1 am eating Connie's pizza - whoa!

John Cusack has always been a scrubs fan - big f***ing deal. he is a very talented actor who knows s*** about baseball - his loss, not ours!

I have just gotten home from dropping off the grandkid after getting home from the overnight - wow, this was such a class event - it was so unbelivably fantastic - to be tossing the ball in the outfield and playing in the bullpens - to watch the game on the scoreboard in such an atmosphere, everyone spead out in the outfield, eating all the pizza we could eat and drinking all the everything we could drink - I can't explain what it felt like to be lounging on that wonderfully soft grass in such a community picnic atmosphere - at 1 in the morning to be watching Field of Dreams on the scoreboard and look around and say, damn, Comiskey Park, we're in the middle of Comiskey Park - the Sox really organized this well and both the grandson and I can't wait to go to nex year's event - we spent the night at the ball park! - we both came home on such a high and based on the smiles we saw all around on the faces of everyone there - coming home and seeing all the gripes and complaints about this and that, I am right now so far removed from that place - I spent the night sleeping in the outfield! (until it rained but I saw sunrise over left field from the club section!) and being a Sox fan is watching the joy in the children, in my grandson and the others - in just enjoying the glorious feeling of being a Sox fan - I watched my grandson fall asleep at 1:30 with a smile on his face and saw him jump out of the car tonight to tell his mother how wonderful it was - it was one of the most remarkable events in my life - my grandson got interviewed my mlb.com and he was asked who his favorite team was and he said "the White Sox" and the interviewer said, "but you're from Michigan, maybe your answer would be the Tigers if you were home?" and my grandson said "I am a White Sox fan!!!!!!!" and the intrviewer says, "how many times does he [me] bring you here" and the kid said, "not enough!." If there were only words to say how good it is to be a Sox fan - just for the pure sheer joy of loving the Sox - I just laid there around 2 am and looked around at the park and me in the middle of it and knowing we had done this - I can't explain it.

southsider2k3 is a good guy, pure typo, as we all have done.
