    Wow...

    While I haven't bought the magazine yet I did check out the website. Obviously she's a beautiful woman, anyone can recognize that. What strikes me the most though is how classy & elegant these photos are. Usually in these type of things it's very easy go push the sexual envelope too far and have it come accross the wrong way. That's definitely not the case here...

    Go Tonie! :)

    Yeah but it's still a damn shame that arguably one of the best SS to ever play the game has to forfeit his position to someone of lower caliber.

    I understand where you're coming from, but to A-Rod the bottom line was winning. The fact that he was willing to switch positions (especially when he would've been considered the best SS ever) to be part of a championship caliber team says a lot. He could've easily just cashed checks in Texas and became the best SS ever and maybe break the HR record.

  13. Whos ready for DT

    My not being there really has nothing to do with DT. I think DT is an incredible DJ and those who do go will have a blast. Chances are it will be a lot less crowded too.

    For me though, I need a break from DT for a while. He is the DJ I have seen more than anybody this year. Between the anniversery party, his Sunday evening classics parties, and being there for the final 6 or so "Be Yourself" Fridays, my desire to see him isn't there right now. For me the real value of the Coxy / DT party was the respect they both have for each other. They both speak very highly of each other and seemed really enthusiastic about doing the party. Because of this I felt they would work together and do their best to make it the best party possible. Now that Cox is ill, it's just not going to be the same for me so instead I'll just spend the 4th with family & friends. I do hope that Coxy feels better and that they can re-schedule the party sometime later this year....

  22. White Sox Acquire Freddy Garcia

    CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox acquired All-Star pitcher Freddy Garcia from the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, bolstering their rotation for the AL Central race.

    The White Sox gave up young catcher Miguel Olivo, top prospect Jeremy Reed and minor league infielder Michael Morse in the trade. Chicago also gets catcher Ben Davis and cash from the Mariners.

    "It's hard for me to leave," Garcia said. "I do love playing here."

    Garcia, who can become a free agent after this season, will pitch for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, one of his best friends.

    "You've got to be a professional. Everybody knows he's my friend, but I want to do business," Garcia said. "I'll go there and pitch the way I can pitch."

    Garcia was 4-7 with a 3.20 ERA in 15 starts for last-place Seattle this season. The two-time All-Star is 76-50 in his six-year career with a 3.89 ERA.

    "We have an opportunity to challenge for the division in a better way," White Sox general manager Ken Williams said.

    The 25-year-old Olivo, who is batting .270, hit his seventh homer of the season off Cubs right-hander Greg Maddux on Sunday. He has good speed and a strong arm.

    Olivo was too upset after the game to comment, a team spokesman said.

    "It was one of the hardest conversations I've ever had with a player," Williams said.

    "We had to make a tough call today, but ultimately we had to decide whether or not it was in our best interests to get a top end of the rotation guy or hang on to a little bit of our future. As you all know, it's been a long time here in Chicago since we've done anything special in the postseason," Williams told ESPN Radio on Sunday night.

    "We're just not looking at Freddie for this year. Hopefully we can sign him to an extension and he can be part of our future as well."

    Garcia, 27, was one of the top pitchers available on the trade market. The right-hander should help solidify a rotation that already includes Esteban Loaiza, who won 21 games last season, and Mark Buehrle.

    "I'm really glad to have him, but we are going to lose one of my favorite players in Olivo," Guillen said. "Hopefully, when Freddy comes to town, he can help us to do what we want to do. We picked up some good players.

    "Right now we have a good pitcher who can hopefully help us a lot. There is a lot of pressure on Coop [pitching coach Don Cooper] and myself. We have to win."

    The White Sox have struggled with their No. 5 starters all season. Jon Rauch's win over Cleveland last week was their first from that spot after eight losses.

    No. 3 starter Scott Schoeneweis is on the disabled list with a sore elbow, and Buehrle has been hit hard in his last two starts.

    "It caught me by surprise. I know we've been trying to get another pitcher in here, but I never thought Miguel was going to be the one who's going to go away," White Sox shortstop Jose Valentin said.

    "When you try to get something good, you have to pay the price and give something good away, too. It's a good trade for us, and we'll see what happens."

    After beating the Cubs 9-4 on Sunday, the White Sox were just a game behind the first-place Twins in the AL Central.

    Garcia is scheduled to make his first start for Chicago on Wednesday at Minnesota.

    "They'll get a good pitcher," Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi said. "Freddy came into spring training very, very focused. He has maintained his focus under a very, very tough situation. There were a lot of rumors. He's dealt with those well."

    Without Olivo, the White Sox will use Sandy Alomar Jr., Jamie Burke and Davis behind the plate.

    "Ultimately, the decision I had to make was were we better positioned with Freddy Garcia on our roster or Miguel Olivo on our roster, and not just this year but hopefully for future years, as we have every intention of trying to sign Freddy to a long-term deal," Williams said.

    "There's no doubt that he was the guy that was the most coveted on the market."

    Davis has split time this season between Seattle and Triple-A Tacoma. He appeared in 14 games with the Mariners and batted .091.

    Left-handed starter Jamie Moyer could be the next to go for the punchless Mariners, who are 12½ games behind first-place Texas in the AL West.

    Seattle didn't want to lose Garcia without getting anything back for him, and was looking for some young talent with offensive potential.

    The 23-year-old Reed has eight homers and 37 RBI as an outfielder for Triple-A Charlotte. He was drafted by the White Sox in 2002 and is a career .334 hitter in the minors. Morse was batting .287 at Double-A Birmingham.

    "Today we made what we think is a good deal for us," Bavasi said. "The White Sox made a good deal. It puts them ahead in their division, as far as personnel and trying to win that division."

    Can't complain about his performance today. Four walks is a little high but other than that he was very good. He also catches a break by not having to face the Sox this week. Instead he gets to face the Mets in pitcher friendly Shea Stadium...
