'Hawk' to celebrate La Russa at HOF
CHICAGO -- The only man to ever fire Tony La Russa as a manager will be in Cooperstown, N.Y., this weekend to celebrate La Russa's induction into the Hall of Fame. Ken "Hawk" Harrelson is a White Sox broadcaster now, known for an oft-criticized excitable style. In 1985 and into the next year, though, he took a break from the booth to serve as White Sox general manager, where he may have made his most criticized move of all. Harrelson made the decision to fire La Russa as manager after the team started the 1986 season 26-38.

Jake Petricka eager to excel in crucial ninth
MINNEAPOLIS — With right-hander pitcher Zach Putnam going on the 15-day disabled list with right-shoulder inflammation Thursday, rookie Jake Petricka essentially becomes the White Sox’ closer. Entering Thursday, Petricka (2.10 ERA) and Putnam (2.35) each had three saves since the closer-less Sox went to a bullpen-by-committee in late June. Petricka, with a mid-to-upper 90s fastball, has the right stuff if he can command it, and it looks as if he will get a...
