Tonight Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez saved his 51st game of the season in pursuit of the MLB record 57 games saved held by Bobby Thigpen for the 1990 Chicago White Sox. With over a month left in the season, here's saying he breaks it. Having said that, there are several by-products that will invariably result from such an accomplishment and I wanted to look over those here now.

Ravens CB Chris McAlister has one. So does Shaq. And now Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle has one also. These rides cost at least six figures and can run as high as $200,000. Ridiculous. If you've ever seen one in person, you're left with no doubt it could be used to invade a small country.

Charlie Hustle was no slouch...

There is a four man battle for the second base job for the Chicago White Sox. 2008 first round draft pick, Gordon Beckham, is making it a tough decision for Ozzie Guillen.
Start a new series tonight against Texas. I meant to drop a blog on you yesterday but got caught up with my day after workout. I pitched pretty well the other night against the A's got the complete game. I was asked if complete games are important to starting pitchers, to me it's important in one regard - it gives the bullpen a night off. As many times as those guys save...

According to the LA Times, the Angels are pursuing a shortstop for the final stretch just in case Erik Aybar gets injured. He has been battling injuries and bringing in a defensive shortstop could pay dividends in the long run. One name that comes up is John McDonald, who is hitting .222 with 1 HR in 66 games. However, McDonald is a solid fielder and GM Tony Reagins is a big believe...

Ok, the Chicago White Sox are in for the playoffs, and they earned it last night. But I truly believe the game should have been played in Minnesota. Unlike football that uses a tie breaker set of rules for obvious reasons, baseball flips a coin to decide where the one game playoff gets held. That is ridiculous! While football needs the tie breaker rules since the game is so physical...
