Spring Training Recap: Dodgers vs. White Sox, March 8

Highlights: Camelback Ranch is a pretty nice place to practice and play. Weather was good.

The Ozzie Guillen Show. Guy never stops jabbering, hamming it up with fans. I know it's ST, so there's a little less game strategery going on, but Ozzie really likes to keep it loose. Contrast to Torre, who was either sleeping or dead in the Dodgers dugout ... he didn't move an inch for 7 and a half innings.

Gordon Beckham looks like the real deal. The 8th overall pick out of Georgia went 3-5 with 3 doubles. If I were Chris Getz, I would be looking over my shoulder a bit, depending on how the White Sox handle service time management.

No Pierzynski.

Doug Mientkiewicz is even more awesome in person. He looks like a little leaguer out there ... or a softball player.

Donny Lucy's 6h inning at-bat. Fouled off 11 pitches or something like that. Then works the count to 2 and 2, then takes the next one deep.

Lowlights:White Sox. Dodgers. White Sox fans. Dodgers fans.

Juan Pierre wants so bad to be a real baseball player. He certainly looks the part, anyways.

You have to feel a bit sad for the 34 year old NRIs who reek of desperation.

LGFT: White Sox - Boo Thome, Ben Broussard, Eider Torres
Dodgers - Beardy and Fat Second Baseman Hector Luna.

Worst Jersey Sighting: Scott Podsednik, #22 White Sox jersey

Next game: White Sox vs. Indians, today at Camelback Ranch.

I enjoyed this.

I refuse to ever root for a team that routinely does the MVP chant for opposing players.

Ah, Juan Pierre.

Awkward segue, did you guys see the bit about Bobby Crosby being unhappy with the O-Cab and Nomar signings? He wants to be traded to a club where he’ll be the starter, which as far as I can tell means … what, the Mexican League? Maybe?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

How many years ago was it that Gammons picked Crosby to win the MVP?

So 2009.

I think you’re thinking of Harold Reynolds.

Unless they both did it, which would be guffaw-inducing.

I am almost positive Gammo did it

So 2009.

Google searches are all hearsay. People are claiming it was Gammons, Reynolds, Kruk (was he even a member of BBTN circa 2005/2006?) Stark, or a combo platter of two of them.
