What are you expecting from Jose Contreras when he returns Monday to the Sox?

I figure it’s 50-50 he’s able to walk to the mound without giving up a run.

I expect him to tap into that source that gives him fuel. Fossil fuel.

Churro sales will be brisk at the Cell!

Bad. Ozzie sends him to cry with John Salley on “I’m a Washed-Up Athlete, Get Me Out of Here.”

Let’s just say I’ve put a Plexiglass shield on the front of my TV.

When Carlos Zambrano says he’ll retire in 2013, what’s he really saying?

“If I said I was Idi Amin in a former life you guys would write that too.”

In his world, “retired” is slang for “committed.”

He’d like to have some of that Jake Peavy leverage today.

A question with a question: Why has Sosa still not announced his retirement but Zambrano has?

“Even I can’t stand myself enough to stick around much longer.”

If the White Sox are shut out again this season …

… it means the Sox were facing an 11-year-old Pony League pitcher from Elmwood Park.

… Ozzie Guillen will pistol-whip, er, publicly chastise one of his call-ups.

… I’ll pull an Edward G. Robinson and ask Sox fans “Where’s your messiah Beckham NOW!”

If????

… I’ll personally inject all of them with steroids — in the butt. Score already!

The Lakers say if they never had Kobe, they’d be OK. What do you think?

Come on, that’s like saying Silvy would be OK without Waddle or Five on Five would be OK without me.

They lie! There is no antidote for Black Mamba!

I guess Disney isn’t the only fantasy land in L.A.

That wasn’t the Lakers who said that, it was a hotel worker in Colorado.

The Bulls seem to be doing OK without Jordan, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Where does Roger Federer’s career grand slam rank among sports achievements?

Just below Anna Kournikova bouncing during Grand Slam tourneys.

It’s like those Houston Rockets titles without MJ. Sorry, but he still never beat Nadal on clay.

Hmph. He’s nowhere near the number of grand slams I’ve had … at Denny’s.

Better than Leo’s grand slam of tweeting, Facebooking, MySpacing and cougar-chasing.

In tennis, below any of John McEnroe’s rants. My kind of guy.
