Don Cooper Is a Phenomenal Athlete
Seriously, of all the ways to pull your hamstring, this has to be the most embarrassing way I've seen it done. Though it's also a supremely entertaining way of doing it, and I only wish I could find video of the incident as it was shown on television in Chicago.

Don Cooper Is A Phenomenal Athlete
Foul Balls — ... also a supremely entertaining way of doing it, and I only wish I could find video of the incident as it was shown on television in Chicago. The White Sox broadcast replayed it over about five times, and I don't think Hawk Harrelson or Darren Jackson ever actually said a word because they were too busy laughing hysterically. The White Sox haven't said whether or not Cooper will have to be placed on the disabled list, or which minor league instructor they'll have to call up if he is. See the video at FanHouse

It's still pretty nice to sweep the White Sox, as it is any team I suppose. By beating the Sox on Sunday night the Cubs improved to 32-8 at Wrigley Field. Yeah, 32-8. That's ridiculous.

In no way do I now “like” Edmonds, I just hate him a little less. Couldn't have said it better. Hales and I ...
