* Ozzie Guillen revealed yesterday that "the goal" is for Jake Peavy to come off the disabled list and join the White Sox's rotation as soon as August 28 against the Yankees.
Since Jake Peavy was just introduced to the media in a news conference at U.S. Cellular Field, I thought now was a pretty good time to remind you of this: Peavy at PETCO Park: 2.74 ERA (180 ER in 592 IP) Peavy everywhere else: 3.73 ERA (311 ER in 750 2/3 IP)

Last week Brian Anderson requested a trade after being demoted to Triple-A and this afternoon the White Sox obliged, sending him to the Red Sox for veteran outfielder Mark Kotsay.
Between the second and third innings of last night's loss to the Twins, the White Sox had an interesting little incident in the dugout involving A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez:
* My favorite tidbit from Mark Buehrle's perfect game yesterday afternoon? He was on the mound for a grand total of 32 minutes, which equals one pitch every 16.5 seconds and one out every 71 seconds. I'll bet Buehrle is awesome at speed chess.
Less than two weeks after Jonathan Sanchez's no-hitter versus San Diego, Mark Buehrle did him one better with a perfect game against Tampa Bay on Thursday. Buehrle, who also hurled a no-hitter in 2007, is now the 24th pitcher with multiple no-nos.
* Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports that the Pirates' only other offer for Adam LaRoche "involved another major-league player and an exchange of larger salaries" with a "borderline prospect" included, which explains why they opted for the Red Sox's mediocre p …
* Seeing game action for the first time since undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery last August, Tim Hudson tossed two scoreless innings at high Single-A last night. "I felt really good," Hudson said.
I couldn't find a link for this, but on page 3 of today's Chicago Sun Times, there is a story about President Obama, at the ALL Star game, telling sportscaster Bob Costas about the different 'qualities' comparing the Cubs ball park Wrigley Field, to the old White Sox stadium , C …
* Assuming that he doesn't go missing again, Bartolo Colon looks ready to rejoin the White Sox's rotation after racking up eight strikeouts over seven innings of two-run ball in his latest Triple-A start.
* Carlos Quentin switched from left field to designated hitter at Single-A last night after rain postponed the game by an hour, but ripped an RBI double and lined out to center field in two at-bats before exiting in the sixth inning.
Bartolo Colon made headlines and made himself the butt of jokes earlier this week after the portly right-hander somehow went missing while rehabbing his injured knee at Triple-A.
Sunday is the 30th anniversary of the infamous "Disco Demolition Night." For those unfamiliar, it went down like this: Doubleheader between the White Sox and Tigers. Disco backlash reaching its apex.
White Sox pitcher Bartolo Colon has gone missing. The right-hander, who was supposed to be making a minor league rehab start on Thursday, has yet to show up at Triple-A Charlotte. The team has been in contact with Colon's agent, but not with the pitcher himself.
* Ian Browne of MLB.com has an interesting note about 42-year-old Tim Wakefield's first All-Star selection: "Wakefield became the oldest player to make the All-Star team for the first time since Satchel Paige.
Ozzie Guillen was voted as the manager for whom players would least like to play:
* As expected, Adrian Beltre will undergo shoulder surgery today and MLB.com reports that the best-case scenario has him returning in mid-August.
* Ivan Rodriguez is "on a mission" to get 3,000 hits, but the odds are against him.
Craig touched on Frank Thomas' likely retirement this morning and his noting that "Thomas will be an interesting Hall of Fame case" because "the BBWAA can be unfair and irrational" has me preemptively annoyed about a vote that won't take place for at least another five years.
- You know Dusty Baker didn't want to do it, but with Ramon Hernandez getting a day off, Ryan Hanigan was moved up to the fifth spot against the Braves. It was the first time this season that Hanigan, who entered with a .395 OBP, hit higher than seventh.
* Milwaukee dumping Manny Parra from the rotation yesterday was a long time coming. Not only has he been awful recently, going 0-4 with a 13.50 ERA over his last five starts, Parra is 5-14 with a 6.41 ERA since last season's All-Star break.
I don't know how White Sox fans feel about things, but those of us who don't care if they win or lose never, ever want Ozzie Guillen to be fired, because if he was, a true national treasure would be lost.
- The Red Sox selected outfielder Michael Yastrzemski, Carl's grandson, in the 36th round.
