Resilient. I think that’s the best way to describe the White Sox performance the past 2 days. On Tuesday, the came from 3 runs down, twice, to finally put away the Twins, 8-6. Wednesday, they almost came back from a 6-0 deficit, only to fall 7-6. Where was this resiliency in April, May, June & [...]

Resilient Sox not ready to concede just yet.
Paging Doc White…Mark Buehrle is about to pass you on the Sox all-time list
The Sox are still hanging tough, and by their fingernails, in the playoff race. They beat the Twins on Monday, 3-0, and are within 5 games of front running Detroit. Mark Buehrle is as clutch a pitcher as there is in the game. If the Sox score 5, he may give up 4. Or, like [...]
Youth was served in the finale in Seattle
I’ll admit it, it’s just 1 game in August of the 2011 season, but that Dayan Viciedo kid is pretty good. Let’s see a bloop single, 3-run home run, and a walk in his first game in a Sox uniform this year. He also looked pretty comfortable out in right, especially when he caught Ichiro’s [...]
Sox find a winning combination in the Emerald City.
The White Sox have finally found someone they can beat up. The Seattle Mariners are building what appears to be a pretty good team, but they are not there yet. The Sox haven’t done a lot, but they still have won the first 2 games of the 3 game series. Unfortunately, the Detroit Tigers refuse [...]
Sox lose 2, but Konerko gets number 2—-thousand
I want to stay positive, but the Sox sure make it tough. They have 34 games left, 28 against Central division teams, and 6 against the division leading Tigers. With the way they are playing, of late, it may be too much to ask for them to be much better than .500 the rest of [...]
Sox find the range, stick it to Texas
I’ll start by giving a Carlos Quentin update. Q is out with a strained AC joint in his right shoulder. Let’s hope he can get back soon. Thank’s Cleveland. Nice job this weekend in Detroit. While the Indians were going tails up in Motown, the Sox were putting a hurtin’ on the Rangers. The Sox [...]
From field of dreams, to field of screams
I always thought the saying was, “Home field advantage”. It has been anything but for the Sox this season, and it has gotten worse over the past 9 days. Their record at the Cell is already an abysmal 28-36, but now they are losing players as well. AJ Pierzynski, Phil Humber, and now, maybe, Carlos [...]
Fore or four! One is good news, the other not so much.
Ahhh, 1 thing is now crystal clear, the Cleveland Indians are for real. I have said over and over, that the Sox would not only catch the Indians, but pass them on there way to winning the AL Central. I guess the Indians didn’t want to roll over, and go away. Phil Humber is lucky [...]
