The Chicago White Sox Thread

Well, so much for the shut out, but we will take it 3 game sweep of the Reds.
8-1 Garland pitched well, our bats were good today as well.
 
Mark Buehrle and Jose Contreras have been very good this year and should both be all-stars. If they can get Garland/Garcia/Vazquez to be more consistent it's going to be hard for Detroit to stay on top. It's good to see Garland turn it around.

He's 7-4 which isn't that impressive but only Santana/Halladay/Contreras have a better ERA than Buehrle in the AL. He's never been a strikeout pitcher so he's not as flashy as other guys but he still gets the job done. He doesn't even have half the "stuff" that Garcia has but he just hits his spots.
 
Big series for the White Sox. Sox vs. Cardinals

For the Sox: Vazquez 7-4 7.54
For the Cards: Mulder 6-4 5.32
 
20-6 butt whoopin on the Cards, the same day the HEAT win the title, what a great day in sports for me!!!!! And my fellow SOX fans, who are Dolphin fans as well.:D
 
Guillen calls columnist Mariotti homosexual slur

On Tuesday to reporters, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Around the Horn contributor Jay Mariotti as a derogatory name for a homosexual.
Angry with a recent column by Mariotti critical of Guillen's handling of recently demoted relief pitcher Sean Tracey and upset with Mariotti with columns of the past, Guillen said to reporters when referring to Mariotti before Tuesday's game with the Cardinals, "What a piece of [expletive] he is, [expletive] ***."

"I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country." Ozzie Guillen



Mariotti, commenting on Around The Horn on Wednesday, believes a suspension is in order for Guillen.
Commissioner's office spokesman Rich Levin said that Bud Selig learned of Guillen's remarks Wednesday afternoon.
"All I'm going to say at this point is that we're going to look into it," Levin told ESPN.com. He declined further comment.
Columnist Greg Couch of the Sun-Times wrote a column Wednesday in response, calling for commissioner Bud Selig to suspend Guillen for his use of a "hurtful homophobic" term.
Before writing the column, Couch asked Guillen for an explanation. Guillen defended his use of the term "***" by saying this about homosexuals and the use of the word in question: "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country.''
Guillen said that in his native Venezuela, that word is not a reference to a person's sexuality, but to his courage. He said he was saying that Mariotti is "not man enough to meet me and talk about [things before writing].''
Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago.
"I called that of this man [Mariotti],'' he told Couch. "I'm not trying to hurt anybody [else]."
Scott Reifert, the White Sox's vice president of communications, offered to apologize on behalf of the organization when approached by Couch.
"To anybody who was insulted or hurt by that comment ... as an organization, we'll certainly apologize," Reifert told Couch.
 
CHICAGO -- The White Sox 2006 first-round draft pick, Kyle McCulloch, has already made his first pitching appearance at U.S. Cellular Field. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals in celebration of signing with the Sox. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-handed pitcher from the University of Texas signed a contract on Tuesday that includes a $1,050,000 signing bonus. He will report to the Advanced Rookie team in Great Falls, Mont., on Saturday. He was the 29th overall pick in the draft.
