Buehrle Has Déjà Vu Buehrle Has Déjà Vu
Ever get that feeling of déjà vu all over again? You know, sort of like the movie groundhog day where it seems
you are reliving the same thing over and over again? Mark Buehrle must. And he must be wondering that despite a nice raise, maybe staying with this edition of the Chicago White Sox wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do.
On May 31, Buehrle was locked in a pitchers duel with Toronto's Roy Halladay. Buehrle made only two mistakes, solo home runs to Frank Thomas and Aaron Hill and lost 2-0. Last night, Buehrle was locked in a pitching duel with the Orioles Eric Bedard and made only two mistakes: Solo home runs to Nick Markakis and Corey Patterson. Again, he lost 2-0.
If Buehrle wanted to sue on of his teammates for non-support last night, it would have been Jermaine Dye who came up with runners on in the fifth and ninth and couldn't make contact. In fact, Dye looked totally lost at the plate last night. The same two teams tee it up tonight in Baltimore.
Lightning Round:

Lightning Round:
- The White Sox probably will not be able to do anything about their sagging bullpen. How about addition by subtraction? Just put Mike MacDougal, David Aardsma and Andrew Sisco on a street corner with a sign that says "free" around their necks. Have one ready for Gavin Floyd while you are at it.
- Scott Podsednik vows to be back next week against Cleveland. And most likely on the DL again by the following series against the Red Sox. Hey Pods, Herm Schnieder's training kit doesn't include chewing gum and bailing wire.
I hope Jon Garland and/or Jose Contreras likes Coors beer. Although, Coors does brew Killian's Red.- From Foulballs: For a short while yesterday, the four letter network forgot that the White Sox existed. That's okay, I try to forget that the four letter network exists.
- Shhh. Don't look now, but here come the Cubs. Ned Yost can actually feel their breath on the back of his neck, especially when the Brewers get pitching like they did last night.
- It doesn't matter if it was the beginning of his career or near the end, Bruce Froemming is a tribute to the fact that given the right training, the blind can do anything.
- The Tigers have their Colon removed. Gary Sheffield should have his tongue removed.
- PLEASE NOTER DATE AND TIME: I agree with Jay Mariotti on this one.
- Casey Mears sits on the pole at the Chicago Sppedway for Sunday's cup race. That despite issues within the Hendricks' camp and the Gibbs' camp between drivers. BTW, Kevin Harvick starts 14th, but it doesn't matter. He owns this track. And, it's nice to see Michael Waltrip finally make a race even if teammate Dale Jarrett didn't.
- Dale Junior will not be taking Budweiser with him to HMS next season. With all the success that Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson have had, let them spring for the beer.
- Radio's worst nightmare: The possibility of Stuart Scott replacing Dan Patrick on ESPN radio. Stuart is still the only ESPN anchor who requires subtitles. And no, stewardess, I don't speak jive.
- The new President of Ohio State University says during his watch, there will be a zero tolerance policy when it comes to NCAA infractions. This guy will last as long as a donut in front of Rosie O'Donnell.
- Don't you just love it when people come to our country for the opportunity to make money playing in our professional sports leagues and introduce themselves to us by acting like our spoiled athletes. This guy Yi is making it difficult for the Bucks simply because he has a different agenda. David Stern should tell his people, the Bucks will hold Yi's rights in perpetuity until he signs with them. And if Yi doesn't like it, he can go home and stand in front of a tank.
- Another Bama player who can't hack Camp Satan.
- UTEP head football coach Mike Price was released from an El Paso hospital after undergoing a heart procedure. No confirmation on the rumor that he let the "pretty nurse" use his credit card while he was in ICU.
- Coming soon to a theater near you: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Prunes.
- John McCain says despite the defection of most of his senior staff and a lack of campaign funding, he is still a viable candidate for President. McCain made the comments while playing a fiddle in the middle of a fire in downtown Scottsdale.
Here's something I always wanted to try: Drive a tank in regular traffic. Of course, the cops don't like it too much.- A lawsuit against God has been thrown out of a Romanian court because God does not have a known address. Apparently Morgan Freeman is unlisted/unpublished.
- Prince has angered the greedy music industry by giving away CDs for free. Well, at least the CDs are available at market value.
- Today's presentation: Joystick or Sex Toy, you make the call.
