    White Sox' radio announcers commented about his power. They said he and Abreu had similar distance during batting practice at MM.

    Well didn't get the W but it was a joy getting to see a Springer Dinger. Overall, The Cell is a dreadfully ugly ballpark and we are lucky to have the convenience of some great parks in Houston. Go Stros

    Talk about a Sunday lineup. Not sure I see the logic in this given the players just came off of the All-Star break and should be well rested.

    Well, obviously it did for Springer unless you think they're lying about his injury.

    It's not unusual for Castro to sit out a day game if a left hander is on the mound.

    Singleton's defense is terrible.

    Singleton is a butcher in the field.
