Santos es muy malo, Sox perdamos

Sox lose 7-5 to the Oakland A’s. The A’s came in having lost 10 straight games, most of their starting pitchers, and Wednesday they dismissed their manager, Bob Geren, but they sure do play the Sox tough. The teams have split their 8 games, with 4 of them decided by one run. And even more [...]

2 moves–pretty minor really. It’s chill

Jeff Marquez is back in the Yankees system. My one memory about Marquez. After pitching well his first spring start with the Sox 2 years ago, Marquez stepped in front of the media and became, (he thought) the coolest guy in the world. His first words, “It’s chill”. It went down hill from there. After [...]

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Sox lose.

The season is just over one-third old and the Sox find themselves 4 games under .500 at 30-34. There have been a number of positives: Carlos Quentin, Sergio Santos, starting pitching, Jesse Crain, Paul Konerko & Brent Lillibridge. The biggest positive is the fact that the Sox play in the AL Central. The division should [...]

Peavy pulls groin, Sox pull Peavy.

Whew, when I first read that Jake Peavy was headed to the DL, only the worst thoughts crossed my mind. I was glad to find out that his trip is due to a groin pull. At least I figured out why Peavy looked so horrible in the 4th inning against the Tigers on Sunday. It’s [...]

Dial M for masterful. Sox looking good

If the White Sox are one of the most disappointing teams of 2011, the Mariners have to be the most surprising team of this season. The M’s came in to this season having lost 100 games 2 of the past 3 years, and started this season 6-13. Unlike the White Sox, the Mariners pulled themselves [...]

Johnny Rockets, Hot Dogs & YOU!!!

How many of you White Sox or Cubs fans enjoy hotdogs? Sorry, I should say a Chicago style hotdog. If you are one of the many that do, than you will be happy to know that a few participating Chicagoland Johnny Rockets will be selling those above mentioned dogs for $1.00. That is not a [...]

Jake’s no snake, can’t slither past Tigers

I felt the Sox had the game in the bag. They had doubled their hit output against Brad Penny 3 batters in to the game. Remember Penny had thrown one hit ball at the Sox over 7 innings the first time he faced them in April. They even added 2 runs. Jake Peavy pitching, no [...]

Sox winning streak is Dunn

Thank you Red Sox. Ever since the Sox swept the Boston boys, they are a different team. Maybe it’s just hope by me, but i believe it is true. They were on their longest winning streak of the year, 4 games, before losing on Saturday. I read where General Manager Ken Williams said they aren’t [...]
