Due to Peavy’s achy shoulder, the White Sox skipped his Thursday night start against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he'll attempt to start on Saturday.
It’s kind of odd timing for Peavy’s injury because he's coming ...

He’s been compared to the impenetrable Michael Jordan, as well as Los Angeles Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But Kobe Bryant’s performance in Game 7 of the NBA Finals was a bit out of the ordinary.
Bryant, widely considered as the best basketball player on the planet, was having an out-of-this-world performance—and I mean that in a bad way.
