Ozzie passes stone, watches Sox roll over Arizona.

What’s up with the White Sox. Adam Dunn has an appendectomy, Jake Peavy has continuing arm, and leg, woes. John Danks take a ball of his head, and now, Manager Ozzie Guillen passes a kidney stone. What’s next, Mark Buehrle will need his tonsils removed? All this season drama, plus the horrible hole they have [...]

I don’t know what he drinks, but I bet John Danks likes Melon Balls

Ok, right now, would you trade Dan Hudson for Edwin Jackson? I bet most of you were cursing Ken Williams after watching Hudson pitch and hit and pitch the Diamondbacks past the Sox. It isn’t like Hudson pitched terrible, but Hudson pitched better. I would venture to say that Hudson has out-pitched Jackson since they [...]

P & P, Peavy and Pena are about ready

I’m sure he didn’t want to go, but he did, and he dominated. I am talking about Jake Peavy’s rehab start in Charlotte on Friday. Peavy allowed just 2 hits over 6 innings of work. He was in Charlotte due to a groin injury he suffered pitching against Detroit a couple weeks back. Peavy is [...]

Once again, the Sox are off the mark against the Twins

The White Sox had to flying high on Tuesday. Coming off taking 3 of 4 from Oakland, and a rain out on Monday, the Sox needed two wins over the Minnesota Twins to get to the .500 mark for the first time since April 16th. But the Twins had different ideas, sweeping the Sox for [...]

Play GameSlam, win prizes. Nuff said.

I’m not gonna lie, I am mad at GameSlam. The other night I played the Yankees-Rangers game, and before that, the Angels-Rays. I turned out to be the worst manager in the history of GameSlam. Maybe I shouldn’t be mad at G-S, but I had to blame someone for my ineptitude. I am kidding, of [...]

Too many Twin killings doom Sox

What is about the Minnesota Twins? No matter who they plug in to the lineup, most of the time they get the better of the Sox. Tonight, for instance, the Twins lineup was devoid of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jim Thome, Tsuyoshi Nishioka & Denard Spann. In their place were 5 players that combined for [...]

Sox claim guy with throws with a lot of gas.

Yes, I know the Sox-Twins game starts in a few hours, but there has been some interesting news.. First, with my stomach hurting I have decided to take some Leyson Septimo. Doesn’t that sound like an antacid? It’s actually not, it’s the hard throwing left handed pitcher the Sox claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks [...]

Taking 3 of 4, Sox happy to show the A’s the door.

Thankfully, the A’s are gone, not to be seen until next year. I have highlighted their many injury woes, but I haven’t pointed out their offense is 2nd to last in the American League. That is, except against the Sox, when they become the bay area bashers. They almost came back today. If not for [...]
