I am pressed for time this morning, so we will lack the usual complete package until I can get to it later in the day or perhaps tomorrow morning.

For my thoughts on the current state of the White Sox, please read my latest posting at "Bugs & Cranks."  No need writing the same thing twice.

After being embarrassed by the Red Sox over the weekend, the Tigers come to town ready to get even for the earlier part of the decade.

• Elsewhere, the Cubs bats go cold and they give one back to the Brewers who beat the Barryless Giants.

• What a freak thing happened to Rockies AA coach Mike Coolbaugh.  What a tragedy for a guy who was only 35, had two kids and one on the way.  It just makes you sad.
• Jeff Brantley, America's first honest broadcaster.  We'll see how long that lasts.
• Maybe Russ Feingold should have gone to President Bush's proctologist.  Then they could prevent him from talking out his ass.
• Plain and simple: If you choose to dance on the bar and injure yourself, don't sue the bar.
