But the righty/lefty junk works with Thome batting third, at least with the first four batters... Podsednik (lefty) Uribe / Iguchi (righty) Thome (lefty) Konerko (righty)

^^^^^

http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/whitesox.asp?id=157840 I still can't believe people thought that Dye would bat 3rd over Thome.

I could see the Cubs vault over the Astros but not the Cardinals.

If he could stay healthy I'd rather have him on the bench than Borchard, Grieve, or Gload. But he used roids and can't stay healthy anymore.

This is from a Puerto Rican newspaper: http://www.endi.com/2006/02/19/Deportes/37...date=2006/02/19 FreeTranslation.com has a problem with the following words so here's the proper translation: "forest ranger" = scout "White Averages" = White Sox "Red Averages" = Red Sox "Sammy Dull" = Sammy Sosa "batter appointed" = designated hitter

Enjoy the flames of hell, scumbag.

Here are Hermanson's 3-year splits: Total: 3.85 ERA As Reliever: 3.46 ERA As Starter: 4.19 ERA Those numbers are probably skewed by his career year last season but I would sure take a 3.46 ERA from him.

The Sox will have the rights to Vazquez for 3 seasons. He is under contract for 2006 and 2007 and arbitration-eligible in 2008 due to the trade. So we could have Vazquez for as long as Garland.

Another surprise -- Ozzie also named Jenks his closer... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

I thought he lost some weight? Doesn't look like it to me.

Buehrle named Opening Day starter Left-hander will face Cleveland on Sunday night, April 2 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws No surprise here.

The Reds can't afford to get rid of decent pitching. Hancock was listed at 6'3", 207 pounds so if he gained 17 pounds he's still only 224 pounds. 6'3", 224 pounds is hardly overweight. Another team will pick him up in no time.

Just get a $3Xbox 360.

Pierzynski needs a haircut. That looks brutal.

Why does Steinbrenner dress and wear jewelry like an old gay uncle? He looks like Rip Taylor without the moustache.

Steinbrenner unhappy with Guillen comments http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AoJL...ov=ap&type=lgns

Unfortunately, Buehrle was doing an interview on ESPN 1000 at the same time. I think everyone listened to him instead.

You can check out a video of Ozzie's press conference at WhiteSox.com. The video is labeled Ozzie arrives in White Sox camp: 350K under the "More Sights and Sounds" section.
