Black Sox Blog

Man am I glad that these games don’t count.  The White Sox have the day off today and they sure need it.  They lost again yesterday, this time to the Rockies and Jose Contreras was MIA because of a sore tricep.  Bobby Jenks was shelled to the tune of three runs in one inning but the rest of the usual suspsects in the pen seemed to be having a decent season.

Contreras is having a great spring and he’s one of the bright lights in a rough stretch.  He’s thrown ten innings and has a 14/0 strikeout to walk ratio.  Brandon McCarthy has had a couple of rough starts but Mark Buehrle’s had some quality starts.

Scott Podsednik and Dustin Hermanson are also on the shelf.  Podsednik has a sore right shoulder and Hermanson has a sore back.  Hermanson is scheduled to throw on the side tomorrow so hopefully we see some improvement.
