""Fluid in the shoulder'' just doesn't sound like it will end well. Pitcher Jake Peavy, however, feels like a few extra days of rest is just "damage control'' and there is no reason why he won't be able to take the mound on Saturday against Washington. "I believe I'm on schedule and going to pitch Saturday,'' Peavy said. "This is what I'm doing. I'm excited about that. There's some discomfort there, and we addressed it and hopefully a few extra days will get that out.'' Either way, the White Sox did have a bit of a scare the last few days, even sending Peavy to get an MRI on his throwing shoulder to make sure that pitching him was the right course of action. The news was good for Peavy, with inflammation with some fluid in the joint discovered, but the shoulder itself structurally sound. "I take the post any time I can,'' Peavy explained on Thursday. "I'll be honest, too, with my employers and trainer and I admire the way they went about it. They knew exactly what was going on. They said, 'Listen, before we take any other measures, we want to make sure you're structurally sound.' "You go in, and as uncomfortable and scary MRIs are at times, you wouldn't believe what fluid in your joint and shoulder capsule and that stuff could, at times you just think there's got to be something wrong if it hurts, but it's a little fluid here and there could cause some discomfort and pain and you go get fully checked out the way we did and find out your shoulder is structurally sound, that's such a huge mental block that's out of the way that you just battle some inflammation and fluid so you can go out there and fear or jeopardize your career. I admire the way we went about it and the doctor saw enough to think a few more days, I hope this calms down.''" http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2010/06/peavy_has_fluid_in_the_shoulde.html
