The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Rodney, Zumaya back?
Rodney, Zumaya set to bolster bullpenFernando Rodney has joined the Detroit Tigers roster, while Joel Zumaya is slated to return on Friday, the Detroit Free Press reports.
To make room for Rodney, the Tigers optioned Aquilino Lopez to Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. The Tigers will have to demote another player when Zumaya joins the team.

Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson in trouble?
Earlier tonight, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectusreported that Rick Peterson had been fired by the Mets.However, in an update a few minutes later, he wrote that his sources were ‘incorrect,’ adding…
"My apologies for the error. I consistently got "no comments" from Mets sources and do believe that Peterson remains in jeopardy. However, that decision has not yet been made … or made public."…will has solid sources, and is ahead of the curve on a lot of inside information, so, i wouldn’t dismiss what he was getting at…in other words, my hunch is that peterson is in super-serious trouble at this point…we’ll see…
…either way, it’s official, i’m going off the rails on a crazy train…

Looks like Cowley (and that one poster) were right about Anderson
Gosh damn - the Sox are in the heat of a pennant race and here’s this schmuck telling jokes. That’s most certainly not Chicago tough. Maybe if he weren’t joking around all the time and swaggering to the plate he’d actually hit the ball. Clearly this West-coast hippie needs to be sent packing - maybe Garland can teach him how to surf.
Golly fuck I know what you mean

Yea...
Why isn’t he taking this serious and dedicating every moment to his job – he shouldn’t be telling jokes, goofing off, talking to people, reading and replying to blogs…. errr
that is bottom of the barrel joke telling right there.
i’m disappointed ba. that’s the kind of joke one should only hear from an uncle or an older co-worker. a joke that bad has no business being made in front of a camera. i fart in your general direction.

I still laugh out loud when telling classic horse walks into a bar type of jokes…corniness is good.
He probably could’ve selected a better joke to go on camera, though. I feel like AJ gave him that one 3 seconds before they started rolling.

Funny how time changes things
2 years ago a BAs .250 average would have been more than acceptable – somehow I don’t think he’s the primary issue with the offense
I demand an all star bat from my defensive replacments
that’s pefectly rational!

BA should go away already...
...he’s hitting .250? BFD. Can’t hit w/ RISD, strikes out every other time—looking clueless while he does it. I’m sick of the manlove for this mediocrity.

They have some faith in BA to continue getting the job done as they didn’t give Owens a chance to take his spot.

I think the Jerry Owens experiment is over.
He’s no longer young, and he hasn’t done anything this year in the minors to show that he belongs on a major-league roster.
Honestly, if Fields isn’t healthy, then Wise is probably a better option.

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
I disagree...
Owens was all set to start in the outfield until he got injured at the end of Spring Training. This opened the door for Quentin to start.

Mark Gonzales thought so as well...
And my guess is that he is more “in-the-know” than either of us.
In another matter, Charlote outfielder Jerry Owens left Tuesday’s first game of a doubleheader at Richmond with an undisclosed injury after catching a fly ball in the first inning. Owens was nagged with a groin injury that cost him a spot on the opening day roster with the Sox.

i know you can get the phone #s of the media relations people off the game notes that are posted for every game on chisox.com. i’d probably start with those people first. you may also consider not asking for the moon (i.e., KW) the first time. maybe asking for an interview, in whatever form, with a guy like brian anderson and posting it on this site and showing that you and this site are legitimate can be a good first step.

just call the main sox corporate number and ask for reifert (or otherwise get his contact info). he professes to understand the utility of blogging for connecting with fans. i’d say he’s likely at least familiar with the name of the site and i’d also say he probably has read the site, too.

My reasoning is thus
Owens could be a useful pinch-runner in the approximately 2 situations that such action is called for over the next 2 weeks.
Also, I am curious to see Cook play.
I am not curious to Wise play.

he's never been a particularly good basestealer
he’s clearly relied primarily on his speed. the decline in his numbers at AAA this year suggests that, not suprisingly, he’s perhaps lost a half step (or whatever fraction you want to use) because of his leg injury. if jerry doesn’t have that speed/explosiveness, he’s pretty much worthless. i said before the season began that i seriously questioned whether he would be able to get back to the level he was at after this injury. he did not play when i watched charlotte this year so i don’t have any first-hand knowledge but the numbers aren’t looking good for him.

When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
How many players can be on each minor league roster?
There are two separate lists of players for minor league teams: the “active list”, and the “reserve list”. Players may be transferred between these lists before the start of each game, but only players who are on the “active list” at the start of the game can play in a particular game. The “reserve list” includes all players on the “active list”.
AAA and AA teams are allowed 24 players on their “active list” for the first 30 games. They are allowed 23 players on their active list after that until August 10th, when they are allowed to have 24 players. The “reserve list” limit is 38 players for AAA teams and 37 players for AA teams.
A teams have a limit of 25 players on their “active list”.

Indians sign Morgan Ensberg...
Indians signed INF Morgan Ensberg to a Minor League contract and assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo.
As we said when he was released by the Yankees a week ago, the 33-year-old has hit just .225/.308/.371 in 143 games dating back to last season.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Interesting how both have a PG-13 feel to them.
Can’t share them with my 5 year old. Perhaps the wife.

Mets Fire Randolph
Despite winning 3 of his last 4 and showing signs of turning things around, Willie Randolph was fired today by the New York Mets. Wow…unreal.The Mets named Jerry Manuel interim manager, replacing Randolph. Manuel, in his fourth season with the Mets, had been bench coach since 2006. The Mets also named Ken Oberkfell, Luis Aguayo and Dan Warthen to the coaching staff. Rick Peterson and Tom Nieto have been relieved of their coaching duties.

do update this site every time something happens in sports, what with your “real job” that prevents you from looking up other things?

But this was a vital Cubs vs. Sox comparison showing that Cubs Rule! and the Sox suck
So you can see why it was important to spread the word

tonight's game
Matchup: Pirates (34-36) at White Sox (38-31), 7:11 p.m. CT
Probable Starters: Ian Snell (77 2/3, 5.79 RA, 1.78 WHIP, 62 K) vs. Javier Vazquez (90 IP, 4.00, 1.32, 90)
Pythagorean Record: Pittsburgh, 33-37 (343 RS, 366 RA); Chicago, 41-28 (319 RS, 259 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Pittsburgh, #24; Chicago, #4
Prospectus: For those surprised that the Pirates’ run differential and record Nate McLouth’s performance as an answer to how it’s happened. McLouth is outperforming his 90th percentile PECOTA forecast, thanks in no small part to his .270 ISO. More intriguing than his performance during the first three months of the season is how he got to that point, as there may be a new performance level established within his numbers. McLouth historically is a low average hitter thanks striking out over 22 percent of the time in ‘06 and 23.4 percent of the time in ‘07. Last year saw McLouth add value to his batting line despite this thanks to walking in 10.6 percent of his plate appearances, a significant boost on the 6.3 he posted the year prior.
McLouth has taken that success with patience this year and combined it with excellent control of the strike zone, cutting his strikeout rate from 23.4 percent all the way down to 13.7 percent. This makes him less reliant on a lofty BABIP in order to post decent batting average numbers—his average is up 38 points despite a BABIP three points under last season’s figure—and this improvement in his eye has also shown up in is contact rates, via Fangraphs. McLouth is making contact with nearly 10 percent more pitches out of the zone that he swings at than last season, and is making contact on 89 percent of his swings overall. If this change is for real, and the indicators surrounding him show that it could be, then McLouth has improved from quality leadoff hitter to one of the top center fielders in the game, something the Pirates need to have happen to them more often as they rebuild from the previous administration.
