Mark Buehrle was named the White Sox opening day starter by Ozzie Guillen following a successful final spring outing.

While I wouldn't go so far as to call Mark Buehrle's final spring outing brilliant, it should be good enough to quiet those who wonder if the Sox kid gloves with Buehrle are a result of some undisclosed injury. He got a couple of extra outs thanks to some poor base running by the Rockies, but generally appeared healthy and ready to take the mound in a less than 6 days, assuming the weather holds. After the game, Ozzie Guillen made it official, Buehrle is the White Sox opening day starter.

I just made this post to play with the new toys....
  • Clicking on Buehrle’s name should bring up a new player page.
  • The photos attached should link to new automatically generated galleries
  • The event pages (click the white sox vs. royals link in the tags) are MUCH, much more useful

no beckham entry available...

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

We're not getting the full flow of the firehose in spring training.

and Since Beckham is now in the minors, yeah… the beckahm pics will be sparse…

Im sure im not alone in demanding more Beckham pics.

I’d say about 15-25 new pics a week would suffice. I am also willing to boycott this website and I’m sure I am not alone if these demands are not met. A few Beckham video updates would be nice too.

There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.

Also the site should from here on out be named The All Holy and Righteous Church of Gordon Beckham

I hate this site now..

It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

you can't even throw a forkball properly if you don't have big ass hands.

at 10, i thought “one day, i’ll be able to throw a forkball just like my dad!”

STFU.

It was an observation. I am not as rivited by the size of men’s hands as you are.

New editors, lots of techno-upgrades, a Twitter acount, Facebook page, group outing in a few months, no more Jerry Owens or SSH

This is going to be a fantastic spring.

Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

I wanted to add that to the list, but none of you are invited

So….I went utilitarian.

needless to say, my article in the pipe has more links than i thought possible

Minor League Team Invites You To Watch A Game FROM A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
“We bought the van for $500,” Goodman said. “We offered a trade for game tickets, but the guy turned that down. He did say that he would take a bag of weed, though.”

I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility, and murder.

But Cowley said he was hurt/maimed/dead/addickted-too-teh-drug!

Cowley was … wrong? Can’t … believe … in anything anymore … anchor gone … rudderless … universe spinning … entropy … things fall apart … the center cannot hold …
