“Some kind of superhero who comes out of the bullpen and throws 100 and gets outs."
"Everybody loved him. He was always just a crazy, wild person, but he had the biggest heart and would always help people.”

MLB.com White Sox beat writer for 24 years. Go Blue! Eagles are rock n' roll legends. National championships won under Jim Harbaugh? It looks like one!
- More from the White Sox: "A pinstripes White Sox jersey with his name on it and a hat already are on the way to Rome, and of course, the Pontiff always is welcome at his ballpark."
- Tim Anderson on lively home crowds: "On the weekends, it’s the place to go before you go out. We try to make it as a pregame for you. You come to the game, have some drinks, have some fun. We have a DJ up there, playing good music. Use it as a pregame before the night starts."
- Just got this text from Hawk Harrelson, on the final play: "Engelllllll---Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!"
- OF Billy Hamilton is returning to the White Sox on a Minor League deal with a non-roster invite to Spring Training, per source. Hamilton was a contributor on the 2021 AL Central title squad.
- Lynn: "There's something about South Side with my personality that fits."
- Giolilto called Donaldson's comments a classless move as he crossed home plate after the HR. "We won. The W is next to my name. They are in last place."
- Per his Instagram account, Liam Hendriks is in remission and "cancer free." Best news of the season, regardless of what happens in the next 5 months!
- Yoan Moncada has rejoined the White Sox
- Hendriks has referred to Craig Kimbrel, himself and Michael Kopech as the pony tail gang.
- Steve Stone gave a great interview today about memories of Ryne Sandberg. This line really stuck with me: “This is a guy you looked at and said, ‘I’m going to raise my son and I want him to be like that guy.’ And Ryno was that guy.”
- Chris Bassitt is a really great person, who is coming into his own now as one of the game's elite young starters. You hope and pray he's ok. Baseball means zero compared to that fact.
- It sounds as if Jake Burger will be joining the White Sox in Detroit. And not to lose objectivity here, but this is really a story worthy of a movie with what he has gone through and what he has achieved.
- Giolito: "This is the most fun I've ever had playing baseball. It's not even close."
