4 games, 3 losses. Sox hate Canada

John Danks is 0-8. Yes, John Danks is 0-8! This may have been—forget that–it was, the ugliest start of his career. 6 runs in the first inning for the guy that many expected to break Mark Buehrle’s opening day starter streak this year. Is there something wrong with Danks? I’m not that close to the [...]

Righty out, Righty in. Right move?

I think everyone who has watched Sox baseball could tell that something was wrong with Tony Pena. His velocity was a little low, his command was completely off. With an ERA go higher and higher after each outing, the Sox finally pulled the trigger, placing Pena on the DL with right elbow tendonitis. Pena had [...]

The Pale Hosers raise their game in Toronto

What a weird 2 days for Adam Dunn. Thursday, Dunn did something not seen all too much, striking out 4 times in a game–also known as the golden sombrero. Friday night, Dunn did something equally as rare, walking 4 times in a game–also known as the golden sombrero. One thing about Dunn, he may rack [...]

Sox lone run is not enough to beat the Rangers pair

Man, even when the Sox get great pitching, they lose. Gavin Floyd had one half-bad inning, but lost 2-1 to the Rangers. The Sox dropped 2 of 3 in the lone star state, not the way they wanted to start their 10 game trip. Floyd gave up 2 of his 3 hits in the 3rd [...]

Running afoul, Pierzynski confronts the former President–bum, bum, bum!

The Texas Rangers activated Josh Hamilton and Nellie Cruz off the DL before Monday’s game against the Sox. That was an unfair move as the Sox forgot how to pitch to those guys. Both Hamilton and Cruz homered in their return as the Rangers shutout the Sox 4-0. That was the 2nd time the Rangers [...]

Batter up! GameSlam is here. Get started now!

I’am always on the look out for new, exciting things to do on my computer. I think I found a new addiction when I came across GameSlam. GameSlam is an interactive game that allows you to basically, match your wits against some of the best managers in MLB. Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen is [...]

P-O-W, Ramirez powers the Sox

The White Sox finished off the weekend by finishing off the Dodgers. They won 2 of 3 from the LA boys, but they should have swept them. Anyhow, could a player have had a better weekend than Alexei Ramirez? The Sox shortstop went 7-14 with 5 RBI. He went 0-5 in Friday’s game, so he [...]

Dancing with injuries–an update on 2 Sox

With his past injury history, any time Carlos Quentin winces, he is given a rest. He winced before Saturday’s contest against the Dodgers, and was sat down. The official word. Bruised left knee. Manager Ozzie Guillen says that he won’t play on Sunday, but should be able to play on Monday when the Sox begin [...]
