08:28 AM ET 05.05 | The White Sox' surprising decision Friday to move left-hander Chris Sale back to the bullpen didn???t go over well with Sale, who had a short but successful run as a starter but is losing the gig because of a tender elbow. "It caught me off-guard; I really wasn't expecting it," Sale said after the Sox' deflating 5-4 loss against the Detroit Tigers on Jhonny Peralta's two-run home run off Matt Thornton. " But Sale had been dealing with what he called a sore and tender" left elbow since his start in Oakland on April 25 and rather than risk his longtime health, the Sox decided to move Sale back to the bullpen, where he'll assume the closer's role.

He f*cking well should be unhappy! He should've been shut down for a couple of weeks for that elbow, with ADDISON REED taking over the closer spot.
