for the cash these guys make, they should be broadcasting, via a cellphone or blackberry or whatever, from the dugout.

Total transparency.

This “closed society” is an illusion.

Cabrera should not be treated like a ‘leper’...

....he is a modern ballplayer, a trailblazer.

That Ballyb has no integrity on the floor.

See how easy it is? Some people say, growing concerns… same meaningless things.

Btw, did the Sox DFA Uribe yet?

so what’s the big deal? It could also be interpreted as being “intense” rather than “selfish”.

And the reality of baseball these days is there are/will be less guys signing on for multiple years, so they are very aware they are also playing for their next contract, probably with another team.

I don’t give a rat’s ass who he calls as long as he produces and contributes to the Sox this year.

...say the right things, give Cabrera a talking to, this will blow over and the Sun-Times will find something else to bitch about.

Ozzie probably should have said something really crazy just to completely get the attention away from OCab.

Garland?

Jon Garland didn’t allow a run in 7 1/3 innings as the Angels beat the Tigers on Monday night.
Garland allowed just four hits, striking out five and walking three. He left with a man on third and one out, but Scot Shields came in and got a strikeout and a ground out to escape the jam unscathed. Shields, Francisco Rodriguez and Jose Arrendondo combined to throw four more innings of scoreless ball, bringing the Angels’ total to 12 on the night. Arrendondo picked up the win. Garland has made five consecutive quality starts and lowered his ERA over two full points in the month of May.

lastings milledge!

if BA, St. Quentin, or Uribe called the pressbox. My guess, since it’s all hypothetical:

BA: He’s cocky and although he’s playing better, he shouldn’t piss Ozzie off (and Ozzie would be pissed and rake hime over the coals).

St. Quentin: He never made the call, The Sun-Times made it all up to stir the pot. Maybe the scorekeeper called Carlos for his expert and perfect opinion.

Uribe: What an a-hole! and he’s fat.

Manager Ozzie Guillen seemed half-serious when he said that Alexei Ramirez would have been demoted to Triple-A Charlotte had he not executed an opposite-field single after ignoring Guillen’s bunt sign in the 12th inning of the White Sox’s 6-3 win at Cleveland. But Guillen was delighted to learn that Ramirez is capable of those talents, which will allow Guillen to call for more hit-and-run plays with Ramirez at the plate.

The laughter over a three-man prank before batting practice turned tense Tuesday as White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and Orlando Cabrera expressed a gulf of difference over the alleged lack of support Guillen has lent toward his shortstop.

But those words were mild, at least in tone, compared to the verbal exchange between reliever Octavio Dotel and conditioning coach Allen Thomas near the first base dugout while Guillen talked to reporters. Third-base coach Jeff Cox stepped in before tensions escalated.

Thomas, through a team spokesman, declined to comment. Dotel joined the rest of his relievers down the right field line during batting practice and was unavailable for comment.
