If you are going out of the country, maybe it is best not to tell the media. White Sox GM Kenny Williams was on a scouting trip to the Dominican Republic when his house was broken into. The Chicago-area man stole clothing, jewelry and Williams’ 2005 World Series ring.

But the burglar didn’t stop there, drinking Williams’ beer, defrosting a lobster and surfing the web.

The intruder left behind a hospital bracelet, which helped police put the man behind bars, when police found him wearing Williams’ clothes and the GM’s 2005 World Series ring.

The man is expected to be in bond court on Tuesday, and no it is not Ozzie Guillen.

The Gold Glove is one of the most prestigious awards in baseball. 18 awards are handed out each season to the best player in their position in both the National and American leagues. Winners are voted on by league managers and coaches. Today it was announced White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle has won his second Golden Glove for AL pitcher, the problem is it wasn’t the MLB who announced it. Instead, Buehrle’s wife, Jamie Buehrle took to her Facebook to deliver the news. In a Facebook status Buehrle wrote, “So proud of my husband. He is now a Two time gold glove winner!!!”

The MLB is scheduled to announce the 2010 Gold Glove winners Tuesday and Wednesday, well at least we’ll find out the other 17 winners.

Props to my employers the Chicago Tribune for breaking this story & keep on chasing Jamie!

White Sox seekings wigs from LA Dodgers after Manny Ramirez trade

Manny Ramirez has been traded from the LA Dodgers to the Chicago White Sox. There was talk that Ramirez would have to cut his famous dreadlocks because the White Sox have an appearance policy, however Ramirez gets to keep the hair, which means marketing opportunities for the White Sox!

The Dodgers capitalized on Ramirez’s mop by selling “Manning Wigs.” The wigs became a fan favorite and were made sure to be always in-stock. Now that Ramriez has been traded, the Dodgers have no need for the news. Luckily, the White Sox have contacted the Dodgers about obtaining the left over wigs!

Too bad the wings didn’t come with the trade…
