Odds and Ends

Ex-White Sox Jake Burger has as many RBIs (33) as Munetaka Murakami. Would I take Burger over Murakami? No, but I wish there were a way to have him on the team. Gavin Sheets, too, for that matter. Oh, well. Maybe Burger and Sheets—and Murakami, for that matter—can prove Leo Durocher wrong about nice guys finishing last. Right now, the Sox would be hard-pressed to finish last in the AL Central; the Tigers look intent on winning that honor. But if the South Siders want to be real contenders, they have to bounce back against the Giants after losing two out of three in Seattle. Davis Martin vs. Trevor McDonald. I may actually stay up late for this one. TIVO assist, of course.
