Rumors abound, but the Sox still make just one deal

After talking about dismantling their team, the Sox made their one deal and called it a day. I do find it funny that I read an article saying that the Sox were looking for a starting pitcher. Didn’t they just trade a starting pitcher. A pretty good one at that. So the Sox would’ve had [...]

Sox flex their muscles..The Red Sox, not the White Sox

They may toy with the rest of baseball, but the Red Sox have no answer for the White Sox. The Sox had won 7 straight against the boys from Beantown, including 4 straight in Chicago. You see I used the word had. The Red Sox finally stretched their considerable muscle in taking the final 2 [...]

Sox look North as season begins to go South.

So why is De Aza now a member of the Sox.. It’s because the Sox opened up a roster spot by making a deal–finally!! As my friend Russ explained earlier, The Sox dealt Edwin Jackson and Mark Teahen to the Blue Jays for Jason Frasor and minor leaguer Zach Stewart. I know there are many [...]

Sox pitch in to take down the Tigers

I would have liked the Sox to sweep the Tigers, but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. That means Chicago has beaten the front running Tigers for the 4th time in their last 6 meetings. Justin Verlander and Max Scherzers numbers in the two games: 14 innings, 14 hits and 6 earned runs and 15 [...]

Don’t blame it on Rios…or should you?

White Sox Ship Jackson To Canada; Bench Rios In Favor Of De Aza

Jackson Was Just Starting To Heat Up The “Good Guys” dealt their #5 starter, Edwin Jackson, along with underachieving third baseman Mark Teahen to the Toronto Blue Jays for Chicago-native reliever Jason Frasor and starting pitching prospect Zach Stewart. Shortly thereafter, the Jays used Jackson to acquire Colby Rasmus from the St. Louis Cardinals in [...]

If the Sox play their cards right, they can keep winning and add a new player.

The trade deadline is just days away and you can bet the White Sox will be in the thick of things. You’ve all probably read about the talk with the Cardinals regarding Colby Rasmus. Matt Thornton and Edwin Jackson are the named being bandied about. I first heard about this through a friend, who told [...]

Gavin turns around the Sox’ cold play

If Ozzie Guillen was raving mad after the Sox last game in Kansas City, he can’t be much happier, even though the Sox won, tonight in Cleveland. Ozzie went off on his team 2 days ago, among other things, blasting their energy level. Tonight wasn’t much better, as the Sox offense was supplied by the [...]
