5 innings for Floyd this morning vs the minor league campers. 83 pitches. Mark Gonzales said on the Score that the probable opening day lineup will start tomorrow-also on CSN. Pierre, Beckham, Dunn, Konerko, Rios, Quentin, Pierzynski, Ramirez, Morel

It's a "look at me" thing. He's running down the 3rd base line, 30-40 feet from homeplate. What's the point of taking your helmet off there other than to show off? Just cross homeplate, high five your teammates, and take the f***ing helmet off in the dugout. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 10:57 PM) I don't see how it's a dick move, unless it's just because it's not something you see players do.

I think they're trying their hardest to trade Teahen, but if they can't (and they probably won't), Milledge will win out over Lillibridge. They can see if Lillibridge clears waivers, and maybe they can keep him without being on the 40-man. If somebody takes him, oh well...it's Brent Lillibridge.

Milledge, nice homerun, but keep the helmet on until you cross homeplate. It's a dick move.

Next round of cuts follow today's game. I'm looking at you Escobar, Socolovich, Jones, Cofield, Carter...

Yes, it is on whitesox.com as well.

Floyd is throwing on the side tomorrow, so the rotation is set: Buehrle: 3/16, 3/21, 3/26 (4/1 at Cle) Jackson: 3/17, 3/22, 3/27 (4/2 at Cle) Danks: 3/18, 3/23, 3/28 (4/3 at Cle) Peavy: 3/19, 3/24, 3/29 (4/6 at KC) Floyd: 3/20, 3/25, 3/30 (4/5 at KC) I guess they'll flip Floyd and Peavy, but if they just let Peavy be the 4th starter, it would be fine with me.

3:05 Sox: De Aza LF, Beckham 2B, Dunn 1B, Rios CF, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Morel 3B, McPherson DH, Miledge RF Pads: Patterson DH, Bartlett SS, Headley 3B, Cantu 1B, Maybin CF, Hunter RF, Baxter LF, Phillips C, Cabrera 2B

6-1 F Thornton pitched the 9th. Usually closers throw earlier in the game in spring, but I think they're getting him used to the 9th inning. He'll close.

Morel 2-3, .208...keep it up.

Nice outing for Danks. 5 IP, 1 hit, 3 bb, 2 k

Vizquel 2-run hr, 4-0

Sac fly for Milledge. 2-0, 4th

Infield hit for Morel. They count.

Solo shot for Quentin.

2:55/670AM- interactive after the 4th inning. Pierre LF, Beckham 2B, Dunn DH, Konerko 1B, Quentin RF, Milledge CF, Vizquel SS, Castro C, Morel 3B, Danks P

Buddy Bell is on with Farmer. Just said Mitchell is going to Winston-Salem.

AJ hit a rocket, and Harrison catches it by his good luck. That would have left a mark.

Rongey mentioned today that he'll be calling a couple of the internet games coming up, instead of Trey Bender. First off, good move. Second, I want on-air corrections of player's names.

Scheduled to pitch: Jackson, Pena, Infante, Jones (aka James), Hynick

2:05, whitesox.com and 670AM---Turn down Melton/turn up Farmer...lesser of two evils Pierre LF, Vizquel 2B, Dunn DH, Konerko 1B, Rios CF, Quentin RF, Pierzynski C, Ramirez SS, Teahen 3B

Milledge took his helmet off well before reaching home plate. Kinda weird.

It should be Sale, but I think it will be Thornton. I just think Thornton is more suited for the 7th or 8th inning when he's facing a couple of lefties. But I'm not too worked up about this issue. If Thornton tanks as a closer, they have a lot of options...and I don't think they'll waste a lot of time if things go sour in April.

Pretty sure it's Hawk/Stone since it's listed as CSN on the Sox schedule, and not on the Cubs.
