Quick Shots: White Sox Pull Even
- We've danced this dance before. The Chicago White Sox have once again arrived at the .500 mark after winning two of three from Kansas City over the weekend. The Sox have been here a couple of times and every time they have, they have gone on a losing streak. They can ill afford to do that beginning tomorrow against Cleveland, a team they trail by 1½ games for second place.
- Before you think that Ozzie Guillen has given up on Adam Dunn, please note Dunn was away this weekend attending a family funeral. We're sure to see Dunn sometime this week.
- Your takeaways from pre-season football games should be pretty limited. The score doesn't really mean anything, especially when the Bears only trot Jay Cutler out for the first series. What you did notice Saturday night (or Sunday if you live out of the area and had to watch the game last night on NFL Network) is that the defense and special teams look really good, while the offense continues to struggle. Red flag or just not a whole lot of snaps for the money guys?
- I have a feeling one of the first guys the Bears will cut will be #43, Eddie Williams. He had a couple of really dump penalties. You don't last long in the NFL when that happens.
- Marion Barber looks like a keeper. I sure wouldn't want to be Chester Taylor right now.
- Johnny Knox may be getting squeezed by Roy Williams and disrespected by Mike Martz, but he sure is a heck of kick returner.
- The whole Logan Morrison deal reeks of putting the kid with an attitude in time out. Obviously, the Florida Marlins care more about keeping their players in line then they do about winning. His agent will most likely file a grievance and the marlins will get spanked by MLB. The whole thing stems from some season ticket holder deal that Morrison missed after asking Wes Helms if attendance was mandatory. Helms told him no, so Morrison didn't attend. Helms was cut Saturday night and Morrison was demoted to the minors the next day. Memo to Ozzie Guillen: Do you really want to work for idiots like this?
- In an effort to make sure that playing surface at Soldier Field was safe, Buffalo Bills coach sent defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt out prior to the game to look for loose pieces of turf. After inspecting the sod, Wannstedt declared "All ah the ah pieces ah are ah in place." Not really, but I could see it happening. Welcome back, Stuttering Dave. No matter what Lovie does, we still don't miss you.
