Name: Jack Egbert
Rank: 340
Position: P
Year With White Sox: 2009
Jack Egbert was selected by the White Sox in the 13th round of the 2004 draft. He earned a promotion to big league club in late April 2009, replacing the ineffective Mike MacDougal in the bullpen. Unfortunately, he was no better, and 4 days later, he was sent back down to Charlotte, replaced by Lance Broadway.
In late September of that year, Egbert was placed on waivers and was selected by the Mets, thus ending his White Sox career.
Egbert’s numbers in a White Sox uniform were:
Name: Lance Broadway
Rank: 355
Position: P
Years With White Sox: 2007-2009
Lance Broadway was the White Sox first round pick in the 2005 draft and worked his way to the big leagues 2 years later. A starter by trade, Broadway worked mostly out of the bullpen for the Sox, making only 2 starts in his time on the south side. When the opportunity presented itself early in the 2009 season to make an upgrade at backup catcher, Broadway was (fittingly) traded to the New York Mets for Ramon Castro.
Broadway’s numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were: Continue reading →

The Nationals were expected to improve this year, but they appear to have taken a giant leap forward. |
| New York Mets | 44 | 38 | 75 | 87 | One of the surprises of the first half, the Mets were thought to be also-rans following their off-season ownership troubles. |

| NL Central | |||||
| Pittsburgh Pirates | 45 | 36 | 70 | 92 | Last year the Pirates flirted with respectability for the first time since 1992 before faltering after one bad call cost them a game. This year, they may be for real. |

| St. Louis Cardinals | 43 | 39 | 87 | 75 | The defending champions have dealt with the loss of Albert Pujols and Chris Carpenter better than anyone expected them to. |

| Chicago Cubs | 31 | 50 | 66 | 96 | The rebuilding Cubs have been a little worse than expected in Theo Epstein’s first year as the savior of the franchise. |
| NL West | |||||
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 46 | 37 | 83 | 79 | The Dodgers had a surprising first half, sparked on by their ownership change. |
| San Francisco Giants | 45 | 37 | 90 | 72 | The Giants have had an eventful first half, with a perfect game and 4 straight shutouts. |

Every game I can remember or have tracked down is included, even the postseason. Teams that move (Expos/Nationals), change “city” names (California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels) or change team names (Devil Rays/Rays) are split out per incarnation.
