Congrats to the Big Hurt for hitting Home Run #500! I wish he had done it in a White Sox uniform, but at least he will be wearign a White Sox cap when he gets into the Hall of Fame.

NBA Draft Tonight. That means that Atlanta is on the clock with the #3 pick (it is a forgone conclusion that Oden and Durrant are going #1-#2). So what happens with the #3 pick with determine the direction of the rest of the draft.

Just a gruesome story, as it appears that steroids may have been involved in wrestler Chris Benoit killing himself after he killed his wife and 7 year old son.

According to Boston.com:

"While the Sox have spoken with the Chicago White Sox about the availability of lefthander Mark Buehrle -- special assignment scout Allard Baird has been in Chicago and watched Buehrle pitch -- they are not close to making a deal, according to team sources. The Sox have no interest in parting with prospects such as outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and pitcher Clay Buchholz, the types of prospects White Sox GM Kenny Williams almost certainly would seek in return."

Hey if the Red Sox don't want to part with prospects, then the hell with them. Trade Buehrle to the Yankees or some one else that will part with prospects. If not, keep Buerhle and re-sign him. Let's see how happy BoSox fans will be with Kason Gabbard in the rotation or worst, Buerhle as a Yankee!!

What is the big difference between the 2005 World Series White Sox and 2007 11 games under .500 White Sox? Well what about the unsung heroes of 2005- the middle relievers, most of whom had career years in '05. Check out these stats from 2005 (according to baseball-reference.com):
Neal Cotts ERA 1.94
Cliff Politte ERA 2.00
Damaso Marte ERA 3.77
Luis Vizcaino ERA 3.73

While Cubs fans celebrate once again, I am going home to watch my 2005 World Series DVD yet again.

With all the sports-related post lately, how about Marissa Miller for the finish!

Sox-Cubs!

Because, unlike you, Mariotti, we are real sports fans!!! That's why in downtown today, works are wearing Cubs jerseys and Sox jerseys. Because if nothing else today we get to leave the office a little early on a beautiful summer afternoon and enjoy the national pastime with a great pitching match-up: Zambrano v. Buerlhe!!

Mariotti -you are an idiot!!!!
