News about the Chicago White Sox is offered. Although James Baldwin will probably be the opening day starting pitcher, Mike Sirotka has emerged as a quiet team leader for the spring.
Hype has always found a home in the Toronto sports world. At the centre of the city's latest bout of buzz-making was favourite hockey son Doug Gilmour, who returned to the Leafs at the trade deadline ...to help the team break the curse of '67. Gilmour's old sidekicks, Mats Sundin and Tie Domi, almost tittered upon hearing the news of his acquisition from Montreal. Toronto ticket scalpers, meanwhile, drooled over the prospect of the profits that would be had when the prodigal son's second act arrived at the Air Canada Centre. Toronto Raptor supporters surely saw shades of Gilmour's damaged knee in Hakeem Olajuwon's wonky back. Inked to a three-year US$17.1- million contract in the summer of 2001, the Dream was signed to grab rebounds by the bunch, and create more space in the paint for Vince Carter's high-wire act.
"Pedro Martinez's a heck of a pitcher, he doesn't need any help," White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said about home-plate umpire Brian O'Nora's balls and strikes calls. "I just thought he (Martinez) got ...too much of the plate. That's our opinion, not theirs." "It was Pedro's game, one run was all he needed," Garciaparra continued. "Mike Sirotka did a tremendous job, too. I don't know why we don't score for Pedro. One pitcher gets 10 runs, another gets one. It just happens."
