Open Thread: Game -26 (Chicago White Sox at Oakland Athletics)

The Chicago White Sox are in town today, taking on the A's at home in Phoenix Municipal Stadium. First pitch is at 12:05 PM. Ben Sheets will make his second Spring Training appearance as he faces (for a couple innings, at least) Daniel Hudson.
Couple items of news (from Susan Slusser's Drumbeat):
- The Mets felt that Jay Marshall had a pre-existing shoulder injury, so Marshall was returned to Oakland. Recall that the Mets had claimed Marshall on waivers back in early January. It looks like the A's released him immediately.
- Joey Devine has a mild case of tendinitis. He'll be on the mend for around a week.
- Travis Buck had his ear flushed out after his dizziness yesterday. He should be ready to go today.
- And in the best news of all, Justin Duchscherer threw 32 pitches yesterday, and everything seemed fine. He'll face live hitters on Friday.

I've needed to have my ears flushed out periodically all through my life
needing that procedure of itself doesn’t cause dizziness…but having had a severe concussion certainly might.
Yeah, that's the problem with Travis
we can never know what damage a concussion can do. He cannot catch a break.

Definitely.
Sheets is such a good pitcher that he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. The young guys, like Buck, Cahill, Gio, etc, need to show that they can perform. Sheets just needs to warm up.
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.
sometimes they are just working on a certain pitch
like fastball command. It is also hard to replicate the feel of a real game.

I've heard several players, Outman alluded to it earlier,
that say it’s hard for them to NOT feel like it’s competitive when there are runs on the board the same as in a normal game
