The Bald Truth
A week after Illinois politicians celebrated Mark Buehrle Day, the White Sox opened a three-game set against the Angels on Tuesday night with the opening act of what they are calling Mark Buehrle Appreciation Series.
And here's the best news:
It's less than five months until the start of Mark Buehrle Appreciation Decade!

The Quote
"In B.P., I'm Reggie Jackson. In a game, I might be Janet Jackson." - Torii Hunter, injured Angels center fielder, when asked how he did in batting practice before Tuesday's game.
The Balder Truth
Not that I don't like hyperbole as much as the next guy, but I almost choked on my free press-box snack mix Tuesday when Jerry Reinsdorf told Dewayne Wise and White Sox fans everywhere that the center fielder's perfect-game-saving grab "might have been the most important catch in the history of baseball."
Oh, absolutely. I believe it won several World Series, integrated the sport and solved the steroid problem. What a catch!

The Quote II
"Game-winners are always nice. But most importantly, we bounced back from the defeat on Sunday against the Mets." - Scott Podsednik
After being the hero for the White Sox yet again, Pods can be forgiven for being a little confused.
I believe those were the Yankees who beat the Sox on Sunday. You know, New York's other team.
THE BALDEST TRUTH
The first-place Tigers send new star pitcher Jarrod Washburn to the mound at home against the going-nowhere Orioles. Baltimore counters with Brian Matusz, who is making his MLB debut against the feared Detroit lineup.
Orioles 8, Tigers 2. Of course.
We may think we know but we don't ... and that's Reason No. 1 why sports is the only Reality TV worth watching.
