With an American League Central title at stake, the White Sox might consider ending one of their post-game victory traditions.

Backup catcher Toby Hall said his right shoulder was fine after teammate Jermaine Dye blocked his attempt at placing a shaving cream pie in his face during a post-game interview following the Sox's 13-5 win over Seattle.

Hall had his right shoulder wrapped in ice but assured reporters he didn't not re-injure his shoulder, which he separated in spring training of 2007.

Toby Hall almost hurt himself in an unsuccessful attempt to smash a shaving-cream pie into Jermaine Dye's face in the post-game interview with Comcast Sports Network. Hall was seen showing discomfort with his right shoulder, but said he was fine ...

I'm trying to think of a dumber injury that could occur within the realm of dugout hijinx and I'm failing miserably. I mean, other things could capture the "senseless injury" part -- broken hip doing the bump, torn wrist ligament during an elaborate handshake, choking on a sunflower seed -- but the whole pie aspect brings a vaudeville factor that nothing else can really touch.

That is, unless Ozzie pulls pitchers with a gigantic novelty hook instead of making visits to the mound. Of course, now I've added onto my list of things I desperately want to see but never will, and this whole saga just bolsters my theory that clowns only lead to dark places.

Jim, I'm going to let that "dumbest injury in a locker room slide," because I like you...

If Bren said this I'd be all over him...

Nothing, ever, ever ever ever, will top this...
