Quick Shots: Buh Bye Jerry, Hello Scotty Pods
- The White Sox are about to release their second stiff this week with Jerry Owens apparently being jettisoned for Scott Podsednik. Podsednik was the difference maker for the Sox in 2005, but he's older, slower and still throws like his arm is made of spaghetti. He'll get a shot at center field (where he didn't play in 2005) with the injuries to Brian Anderson and Dewayne Wise. Well, you did want Kenny to do something, just be careful what you wish for. (South Side Sox)
- For those of you screaming for Gordon Beckham, here's your update.
- Here comes the cavalry. Just in time.
- The White Sox travel to Texas for a weekend series. It's a good place for them to get their offense back on track.
- One theory on why the White Sox went 11-10 in April is that they are a boring, humorless, team. I'll admit I do miss the hijinx of Juan Uribe and Toby Hall. In fact, if this group was any duller, they could change their name to the Chicago White Bread.
- Andrew figures with a few more pickups, the whole band will be back together. I'll believe it when I see Willie Harris pinch run and Cliff Poliette warming up in the bullpen. (35th Street Review)
- It's hard to overcome a three goal deficit in hockey, even harder in the playoffs, even harder with one period left. The Hawks did it last night, but still lost 5-3. Vancouver is faster and more disciplined than Calgary. Unlike the Flames who make a lot of stupid mistakes, the Canucks make a lot less and they have much better skill players. If the Hawks want to make it to the conference finals, game 2 Saturday night is a must win. (Fifth Feather, Rosenblog)
- No matter what happens in game 7, this Bulls team has shown real guts against the defending world champs. And, they have every chance in the world to win game 7 and move on. Rumor has it, Bulls coach Vinny DelNegro has been constantly humming Toby Keith's "How do you like me now?"
- Word out of Minnesota is that Brett Favre has hired a personal trainer. Go ahead, Hillbilly. Bring it on. Not only will the Bears crush your aging body like a grape, but the Packers will too.
