Cards at Paloes... Man I can't believe how my Cards have stepped up since Pujols went down. Averaging a run a game more than when big Al was swinging. Even the starting pitching is looking semi stout. Encarnacion, Rolen and Molina starting to swing better and the lift that AAA call -up big Chris Duncan has given them have had a positive impact. EL "Sid" Ponson has been designated to the bull pen to get his kinks worked out. His record is decieving more than not he pitches him self out of unbelievable jams so maybe he's the go to guy in the 7th with sacks full. Reyes is a stud and the future of St. Louis pitching with Wainright not far behind. It's gonna be an interesting off season for them to with every starter other than Chris Carpenter a free agent.

Perhaps. The Cards starting rotation looks very unremarkable to me lately. No denying your hitters stepped up with Alfred hurt though.

The Sox are so solid. I think the second place team in the AL Central is going to need 95 wins this year.

"Peanuts" is a comic strip.

more commonly referred to in Chi-town as terrible.

Here's how bright the leader of the White Sox is:

On Tuesday to reporters, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Around the Horn contributor Jay Mariotti as a derogatory name for a homosexual.

Angry with a recent column by Mariotti critical of Guillen's handling of recently demoted relief pitcher Sean Tracey and upset with Mariotti with columns of the past, Guillen said to reporters when referring to Mariotti before Tuesday's game with the Cardinals, "What a piece of [expletive] he is, [expletive] fag."

"I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country."

Ozzie Guillen

Mariotti was covering the NBA Finals Tuesday night and was not present to hear what Guillen said.

Columnist Greg Couch of the Sun-Times wrote a column Wednesday in response, calling for commissioner Bud Selig to suspend Guillen for his use of a "hurtful homophobic" term.

Before writing the column, Couch asked Guillen for an explanation. Guillen defended his use of the term "fag" by saying this about homosexuals and the use of the word in question: "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country.''

Guillen said that in his native Venezuela, that word is not a reference to a person's sexuality, but to his courage. He said he was saying that Mariotti is "not man enough to meet me and talk about [things before writing].''

Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games, went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago.

"I called that of this man [Mariotti],'' he told Couch. "I'm not trying to hurt anybody [else]."

Scott Reifert, the White Sox's vice president of communications, offered to apologize on behalf of the organization when approached by Couch.

"To anybody who was insulted or hurt by that comment ... as an organization, we'll certainly apologize," Reifert told Couch.

Now Buzz, I'm surprised you didn't put that post into some thread about the recent mountain of stories about "aliens"/"immigrants"---or did you?
