For actual "at the time" reaction, the McCarthy trade was probably the most surprising one I've seen with the White Sox. It was just a given he'd be in the rotation in 2007, and next thing you know he's traded on a weekend before Christmas. It took everybody aback. It certainly worked out for us.

Teahen up to .256. From where he was, I'd say that's a good thing.

Jake Peavy vs Reds AAA team: 7 IP, 7 ER, 12 hits, 4 Ks, 1 BB 112 pitches...that deserves a wow.

Teahen with a single and run. Glad he figured it out this week.

Andres Blanco to Texas.

Kotsay with a lead off double. Of course he's stranded.

Jim Thome hit a homer off of Jose Contreras today.

Brandon McCarthy sent to AAA. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Start looking for real lineups and effort starting Monday night. 1. Mark Kotsay lf 2. Alexei Ramirez ss 3. Carlos Quentin rf 4. Paul Konerko 1b 5. Andruw Jones cf 6. Mark Teahen 3b 7. Brent Lillibridge 2b 8. Donny Lucy c 9. Randy Williams p

Freddy: 5 Inn, 11 hits, 7 runs, 1 BB, 3 K I think that's enough for the day.

Heyward is going to be a beast. I wish the exhibition games against the Braves were televised here.

Beckham scratched with tightness in his side. Day-to-day.

Sox in Tucson the next couple days. Pierre7, Beckham4, Quentin9, PK3, AJ2, Jones8, Teahen5, Ram6, Garcia1.

90 if they stay away from the DL.

Trayce Thompson with a single. Sox lose 5-3. 6 days to go, and they're on the plane.

Scott Linebrink makes me hate baseball.

Lillibridge finally swung real hard and hit one out. Enjoy Charlotte.

1-2-3 inning for Putz. Couple ground outs, and Adrian Gonzalez flew out.

I looked up Lewis. He was in the Twins org. A-ball.

Santos comes in walks a guy, and the pinch runner steals second. Single, run scores. No out.

Peavy is starting the game in Charlotte. Most of the team is going there, so basically the Sox break camp next Wednesday night.

I looked at today's game notes, and Sunday's game says Floyd vs Texas (Scott Feldman). We'll see. Peavy is also pitching in a minor league game on Saturday instead of traveling down to Tucson.

Since it's a split squad, it may be a bullpen day especially on the road. The rest should look like this: 25- Buehrle 26- Garcia 27- Peavy 28- Floyd/BP 29- Danks 30- Buehrle 31- Garcia 1- Peavy in Charlotte 2- Floyd in Atl 3- Danks Atl 4- Workout at USCF 5- Opening Day (Buehrle)/Garcia throws on the side or stays back in AZ 6- 7- Peavy 8- Floyd 9- Danks 10- Garcia

OK, first look at the Jenks wind up in five years.
