I’ve been neglecting Jose Mesa. He was released by the Tigers on June 3 and signed by the Philadelphia Phillies on June 9. He played for Philly from 2001-03 and is the team’s all-time save leader. That said, his ERA is a lofty 12.34. The White Sox are at Philly for three games starting tomorrow, so hopefully I’ll get to see him in action.
Mark Buehrle finally got his 100th win today, so that was pretty sweet. He pitched eight innings, allowing only one run. The crappy bullpen almost ruined it in the ninth inning — Day and Logan walked three to load the bases, but Bobby Jenks got the save and the Sox won, 6-3. Good thing the Sox had a little offense today.
Jason Hirsh of the Colorado Rockies pitched his first major league complete game in the Rockies’ 6-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The Rockies are 31-32 (they’re better than the White Sox right now).
You know what would be cool — if the Rockies and the White Sox could trade bullpens.

How dare you neglect José Mesa????????????? :-P well hopefully you’ll post a lot more about him for the rest of the season to make up for it ;). Oh, and about the Rockies bullpen: what do you think of Jorge Julio? After all, he started his career with none other than the O’s (just like José ;)).
