Contreras' abbreviated outing [was] the shortest for a White Sox Opening Day starter since Claude "Lefty" Williams also went one inning against St. Louis in 1917.

And you know what happened in 1917!

Nice job, Wiz

Good perspective.

Any of you old farts (James, you listening? ;0) rememberthat season?

Of course

they fail to mention that was in a 7-2 victory... and Williams was by far the Sox least effective pitcher that season. Faber and Cicotte carrier them.

Rumor

I heard Jose got served divorce papers 15 minutes before taking the mound in the clubhouse, that probably had an affect on the lethargic outing.

Sheeit

Since he attributed his turnaround a couple years ago to his family joining him from Cuba I wonder if his head is all F'ed now. Look what happened to Big Frank.

I think we need a family therapist/domestic relations attorney on staff.

Toonder/larry/Bridgeport Joe, any referrals?
