Miguel Cairo managed his 23rd game as acting White Sox skipper Friday night but admits that not seeing Tony La Russa standing near the bat rack in the corner of the dugout remains odd.

“Of course it feels weird,” Cairo said. “He’s still our manager. He’s the manager of the Chicago White Sox, and I miss him. We miss him. But right now we don’t have any information when he’s going to come back.”
