Ooh! Ooh! Uribe!
Saturday is
Travers day, so no compelling Sox insights from me tonight.
What I do have -- and thanks to Gary for alerting me -- is
Joe Cowley's appearance on Mully & Hanley on The Score, in which Cowley gave some pretty interesting insight on what it's like to cover Juan Uribe.
The audio is to the right. He's originally talking about how Ken Griffey Jr. had to take a day to get acclimated to the White Sox clubhouse, and the rest is comedy gold.
