Aj pierzynski got a ticket coming to play the reds lol

anyways the team seems like it could be pretty good but will probably lose the division to the twins again. didn't really make any moves other than adam dunn but they played better than expected last season.

Jake Peavy was shut down on Sunday morning after talking with doctors about pain he was feeling following an 83-pitch effort Saturday against Oakland in Phoenix.

Peavy was started on anti-inflammatory medication to try to nip the problem early. The right-hander said the words "rotator cuff tendinitis" are ones he had heard in possibly explaining the issue.

"You know, what I'm experiencing has kind of been a culmination of start after start after start," Peavy said. "It's kind of been coming since that first time. It's been getting a little more uncomfortable as I keep going."

...

Feel bad for that dude.

that poor rich guy!

I tried sleeping on a pile of money once and it was not as comfortable as you might assume.

it is terrible for drying tears aswell.

Am I wrong in thinking that Peavys shoulder is going to explode soon? Seems to me the dude had a pretty serious surgery and he keeps trying to surge back asap..

No!

Last year, Peavy was being "a gamer" through pain (to the point where he wasn't throwing between starts) until the fucking muscle flew off the bone.

Then he had this recent pain intensifying with each game and he KEPT THROWING BASEBALLS.

I don't think his shoulder is going to explode, but I do think he will struggle to get comfortable, and constantly deal with tendinitis issues.

Baseball players are such retards.

Sox are firing on all cylinders today. 10-0 in the 4th!

whoops, 14-0 now

LEAD SLIPPING!

so glad WGN broadcast the cubs shitting the bed against the fucking pirates instead of this game

i'm a massive cubs fan but this sox/cubs era is reminding me of the post-maddux/pre-sosa 60 HR+ years when i was avoiding watching the cubs out of boredom and instead watching the sox, that thomas/ventura team was entertaining as fuck.

“He’s here—I have to use him. We’ve got only 11 pitchers. I don’t have the luxury to [matchup Ohman to lefties]. Maybe later on I will. But he’s got to get his head out of his ass … We need him pitching. If he’s not going to help us, we’ll put people in his place that will...”

@Oneyguillen Bail ugueth out of jail we need him

PLEASE KENNY, MAKE THE CALL

Last place!

sergio santos is having a pretty good year!

ozzie is on an epic rant atm http://twitter.com/#!/OzzieGuillen

Juan Pierre just picked up a CS from Brad Penny and Victor Martinez.

White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy is headed back to the disabled list with a strained right groin.

Can't get enough White Sox information? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest from the South Side. Blog

The team hasn't made it official, but Peavy said before Tuesday's game against the Mariners that he's talked to general manager Ken Williams.

"I just saw the doctor, and I think we're going to have to go the conservative route," Peavy said. "Obviously, I wanted to try to push through it and do what we needed to do, but I think we're looking at the disabled list just because of the MRI result and how may exam just went with the doctor."

Peavy was removed from Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers in the fourth inning. He had been dealing with a sore right groin since his May 30 start at Boston and aggravated it Sunday while trying to cover first base. He continued to pitch, giving up six runs in the inning.

looooooooool

So glad we dumped that dude.

Before tough guy covered first: K, K, K; 6-3, 7, 4-3; 8, 8, K; 1B, 3-6.

After tough guy covered first: BB (plus WP), BB, 9 (sac fly), 2B, BB, HR, 9.

"that ball...hit hard..."

lol -- that was a disastrous outing

nothing makes me happier than hearing hawk harrelson calling epic white sox collapses

he sounded so dejected he just was unable to say more words

"He did? Good for you, Peter. Finally somebody else out-tagged me. Why do you say that, Peter? You have only been to Wrigley Field for a few days. You're not at Wrigley Field all of the time. That's why Peter is one of the brightest men in baseball."
-White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, after he was told Peter Gammons called Wrigley Field "a dump."

I’m not a thinker. Have to quit thinking. That’s not me. I’m not a thinker.

Asked if Fishbein is a good psychologist, Dunn replied: “I don’t know what’s a good one. Yeah, sure. I don’t know, it’s my first run-in with one.”

related to the above: fox sports team said dunn is 1-53 against left-handed pitching this season!

And that one was an infield hit.

"YES I DO BELIEVE THAT WAS A BALK!" -- Adam Dunn

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6752562

CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham apologized again Saturday for an inappropriate remark he scratched into the infield dirt earlier in the week.

During Monday night's game against the Kansas City Royals, Beckham used his foot to write "GETZ IS GAY! G.B.," near his position at second. Royals second baseman Chris Getz is a friend and former White Sox teammate of Beckham.

Fans in the upper deck were able to see Beckham's message clearly, and at least one photograph of the message is circulating on the Internet.

"Obviously I apologize and kind of want to move on," Beckham said Saturday. "Obviously it was meant as a joke but obviously it was in the wrong place and I didn't mean it that way. I will just try to move on."

OBVIOUSLY

“There’s nothing more painful than losing the f—— game against Bruce Chen once again. F—— pathetic. No f—— energy. We just go through the motions. We take the day off today instead of tomorrow.”

“Tell these people out there, they think they know baseball more than I am, then send me the lineup that was better without Rios in the lineup,” Chicago manager Guillen told ESPN.com on Thursday. “Is Rios not playing well? Of course he’s not, he’s brutal everywhere. People think I [don’t] know, yes I know. People think Rios [don’t] know, of course he know. That’s common sense.”

I can't wait until they face Bruce Chen once again.

what up Sox, u look terrible tonight

So much for "No one wants to win the AL Central."

Jeez.

I believe this is a beatdown.

Cabrera didn't realize he was due up, scrambled to get up to the plate, and hit one into the center field bushes.

ChrisVannini Chris Vannini
Pedro Gomez says Adam Dunn nearly came in to pitch in the last inning. Boy, that would have been a new low. #Tigers #whitesox

he's got a pitcher's batting average

lol sound reasoning.

The game appeared to be salvaged in the last ups by the White Sox, who used two walks and a stolen base to push leadoff hitter Juan Pierre to third base with one out, but A.J. Pierzynski grounded into a double play to end the inning, the rapscallion backstop punctuating his disgust with helmet slams and kicks both on the field and in the dugout.

Fun to watch.

The strange end to the White Sox’ 2011 took another odd twist this morning when general manager Ken Williams essentially fired interim manager Joey Cora and replaced him with pitching coach Don Cooper.

Shortly after the Sox announced the immediate end to the Ozzie Guillen era Monday night, Cora, Guillen’s close friend and bench coach, was told he would serve as interim manager for the final two games.

A team official also told reporters that Cora would serve as interim manager.

But Cora received a text this morning from Williams telling him not to bother coming to the ballpark because Cooper is taking over the team for the last two games.

Cora is expected to join Guillen in Florida, where Guillen will be introduced as the new manager of the Florida Marlins on Wednesday.

aj just hit a ball not quite to the warning track and hawk bellowed 'stretch! stretch! git on back there!'

Daaadgummit.

he failed to puuuut it ooooon the boooooooooooooaaard yessssssss

Longtime White Sox announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, whose contract was set to expire at the end of the 2011 campaign, agreed to a four-year extension through 2015, as announced Wednesday.

New manager: Robin Ventura

what no

still sexy, I hope. And probably won't hafta fight Nolan Ryan.

supposedly he was coaching high school ball in san luis obispo..

ventura had no previous coaching or managing experience before being hired.

:(

great undervalued resource 2012

maybe he'll pull a mattingly and manage this summer in the arizona fall league.. it actually worked alright for him and he got to know alot of dudes who got called up during the season..

afl has already started, though i'm sure it wouldn't hurt to drop by

General manager Ken Williams hasn't said who he looked at as manager. But he did say that before hiring Ventura he considered first baseman Paul Konerko as a player/manager, although they never talked about it.

So bummed this didn't happen.

aw man that would have been sweet

don't know much about Konerko. are you guys saying that because you think he'd be good or because he's be a train wreck? (tho i suspect i know the answer)

not too many player/managers these days is all, i think

yea just 4 the novelty, mostly

yeah and konerko is a good dude so i'm with anything that gets him more money/recognition

they should have made AJ player-manager

or just manager

i suspected the wrong answer! :D

yeah I just want another player/manager.

who was the last player/manager before pete rose?

A pinch-hitting Stairs type player/manager would be dope.

who was the last player/manager before pete rose?
