QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 1, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) So I see Phillip Hughes got hurt tonight.....must be fun to be a Yankee pitcher, knowing you WILL get hurt. Yeah... Did you see he had a No Hitter thru 6 1/3... then pulled a hammy

How can a player be so bad and folks still keep trying to offer up excuses for him... Lets face it... he can't hit... time to move on. Calling Luis Terrero Calling Ryan Sweeney

Twins Lose. Thanks KC

Ross Gload just made an unbelievable catch in foul territory against the Twinkies. Twins down by 1 with 2 outs in the bot of the 9th

I am just amazed that BA can't see the difference in the fastball and a changeup. I am just amazed that BA can't see the difference in the fastball and a changeup.

I am not sure how much more I can take from Brian Anderson... He just can't hit. Bring up Terrero... Bring up Sweeney... Hell bring back Timo Perez.

Sorry... I don't know who it is in the dugout that I am confusing him with. This thread can be deleted.

Has anyone else notice Sandy Alomar in our dugout? Did I miss something... is he on the coaching staff now?

For those with a video IPod... the Buehrle No Hitter is the AL Game of the week. You can buy the full game with postgame interviews on ITunes for $1.99. Just wanted to let others know.

From new article on whitesox.com With these struggles in mind, Guillen was contemplating a few lineup changes for Tuesday's series opener at home against Texas, after Sunday's loss left the White Sox with a 2-4 record on this six-game road trip. "I might put Iguchi second and Erstad batting in the sixth or seventh spot, just to get a different feel," Guillen said. "I might go lefty-righty, lefty-righty, lefty-righty all the way to the end. I'm looking for something different and hope it works." "We just need to find some way to get our confidence going," added White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye, who drove in the only run off Sabathia with a bloop single down the right-field line in the sixth. "It might be putting up 10 to 15 hits per game or scoring nine or 10 runs, where everyone gets a couple of hits. We need something like that to get us going, and hopefully that will be soon."

Toby Hall was interviewed today at the Sox run through at the Cell. It was just run on Sportsnite (on Comcast). He is very optimistic that he will be back in May. He and KW both seemed very positive about how things look to be coming along.

Per Rotoworld: White Sox agreed to terms with infielder Pablo Ozuna on a one-year, $1.25 million contract extension through 2008 with a club option for 2009. The 32-year-old Ozuna is making $800,000 this year and would have been arbitration eligible again in 2008. 2009 is his first year of free agency. There's little upside to this deal, and the possibility exists that he'll have a bad year and the White Sox will want him gone in 2008. Still, they're not risking much.

One Former Sox Player suprisingly makes the Mariners: Jamie Burke One Former Sox Player suprisingly gets sent to the Minors: Jeremy Reed. Congrats Burke... just don't block the plate without keeping an eye on the runner.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Mar 24, 2007 -> 02:40 PM) Who cares what the minor leaguers think about how Anderson has been handled? The minor leaguers should try to make the majors and shut the bleep up. Anderson sucked at the plate last year. He sucked. Plain and simple. If he produces, baseball men like Oz and KW will play him. He he continues to be an automatic out, he won't. I am one that wants everyone on the Sox to succeed... but this whole situation is pretty clear... we've all seen it first hand.

from whitesox.com The pitching staff John Danks and Gavin Floyd have received the primary focus during their quest to become the White Sox fifth starter. But the final stages of this job search appear to have Adam Russell as the late entry and Charlie Haeger dropping out as solely a candidate in relief. According to pitching coach Don Cooper, Danks will start on Friday against the Rockies at Hi Corbett Field, and Floyd will follow in relief. Floyd will start on Tuesday in Tempe against the Angels, with Danks getting the call on Wednesday back at home against the Diamondbacks. Russell will replace Haeger as the starter for Sunday's game against the Rangers at Tucson Electric Park. Russell, a 23-year-old non-roster invitee who has never pitched above Double-A Birmingham, has used his 96 mph velocity and drop-down fastball and slider to match Boone Logan in 2006 with his stunning rise into roster contention. Russell could also figure into the bullpen mix, with Andrew Sisco, David Aardsma, Ryan Bukvich, Logan, Haeger and the loser of the fifth starter battle all working to fill two spots. The coaching staff has been impressed once again with Logan's spring dominance, and Sisco could be used as a starter for Triple-A Charlotte if he doesn't break camp with the White Sox. Bukvich, a 28-year-old right-hander with 48 previous Major League relief appearances, simply is glad to be healthy after battling elbow problems in 2006. "I'm working forward from that," said Bukvich, who has fanned eight in seven innings this spring. "But there are a lot of guys doing really well. It's good for our coaches to have a tough decision to make. Those guys really have helped me compete and do what I can." "Everyone has been focused on the fifth spot, but the little side note is, we have some bullpen decisions to be made," Cooper added. "But we are going to make them like the fifth spot. We are not going to rush to judgment. We will let it play out and see where it takes us."

Comcast Chicago just said that Haeger has been told he is going to be used out of the bullpen, and that Adam Russell is now in the 5th Starter competition with Danks and Floyd.

put that one on Tubby as well.

David Wells may need to retire today.

1-2-3 for Danks 2 Ks in the inning. WOO HOO ... just do it for more than 1 inning kid

Yikes... Brian Giles flew out to the wall in right. 2 down

Not trying to take shots at David Wells (like I like to do) but man does he look finished. He is known to have pin point accuracy... but when you are throwing low 80s prepare to get rocked Tubby. Danks starts off with a K looking of Marcus Giles

The battle for the final spot in the White Sox rotation will be front and center on Sunday when the White Sox head up I-10 to Peoria for a 3:05 p.m. CT game against the Padres at Peoria Stadium. Left-hander John Danks, perhaps the leading candidate at this point for the fifth spot in the Sox rotation, will make his first start of the spring after four consecutive relief appearances. Danks enters the start 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in the spring. Right-hander Gavin Floyd, another top contender for the spot, will follow Danks on the mound. Right-hander Matt Thornton is also scheduled to pitch for the White Sox. The Padres will start left-hander David Wells. Good Luck Danks... be the man.
