<b>ITEM</b><div><p>SEATTLE -- <a>Jake Peavy</a>’s left side was wrapped tightly, and the <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/edit">Chicago White Sox</a>’s veteran pitcher sounded late Tuesday night
like he was resigned to missing at least one start and probably several more
after feeling pain on the left side of his rib cage that he described as “pretty
acute” and “pretty sharp.”</p>
<p>“I can’t imagine throwing the ball in the next few days with the way I feel
now,” Peavy said.</p>
<p>But more alarming was the revelation that Peavy admitted that he first felt
the discomfort Sunday in Oakland and visited a doctor on Monday, only to last
just 2 1/3 innings Tuesday night with a subpar fastball stemming from the
effects of the pain.</p><p><b>LOSER</b></p><p>Berliners. Fast-fading flameouts, already light on offensive firepower, now lose Peavy for the year as <b>TEAM JUST GOT BURNED.</b></p><p><b>WINNER</b></p><p>Mighty Red Hots. Playing it safe with only 3 SPs, jettisoning all trade overtures while Sizemore mends, this championship squad <b>IS ON FIRE.</b></p>
