Posted in Johnny Vander Meer is safe. Phil Humber’s opportunity to match Vander Meer’s record of 2 straight no-hitters went by the wayside. It didn’t take long either. The perfect game was done after 1 hitter. The no hitter was over two batters later. The shutout went kaput after batter 4. It was fun while it lasted. [...]

Dunn’s in Jeopardy, while Konerko reaches quite a milestone
Paul Konerko hit his 400th career home run today, in Oakland. I remember when he began his career with the Dodgers. Like most young players, he struggled adjusting to major league pitching. The Dodgers must be kicking themselves to this day that they let that guy go. Konerko took over the reigns from Frank Thomas [...]
The Sox pitching is almost perfect (One already is)
We all know the strength of the White Sox was going to be their starting staff. So far, through 16 games it is playing out perfectly. 3 days ago, Mister perfect, Phil Humber joined a very exclusive club. If you don’t know what it is, pull you head out of the sand, unless you are [...]
Humber is absolutely PERFECT
For those of you who don’t know Phil Humber’s story it goes something like this. 1st round draft pick of the Mets in 2001 Tommy John surgery in 2005 2 failed big league seasons in New York, sent packing to Minnesota in 2008 After one bad year for the Twins, signs with the Royals in [...]
Sox put on the O face, losing 3 of four to Baltimore
My observations after 4 games between the Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Hector Santiago is young, and may very well make a great closer. However, the home run ball is, and will continue to, hurt him. 4 innings pitched, 3 home runs allowed. That isn’t gonna work. When he is on, he is on, but [...]
After taking 2 of 3, Sox prove they can tame the Tigers
Whatever Robin Ventura is telling his team, keep repeating it. The Sox took two of three from the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. And every part of their game is clicking. Pitching, hitting and defense. The majority of the the team is the same as last year, but they look completely different. I get the [...]
Told they’re not as good as the Tigers, Sox get downright defensive
How many times have you heard a baseball manager say, “The game is about pitching and defense?. We all shake our head, while muttering under our breathe, “Yeah, right!.” The Sox proved the truth in that statement win their 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in home opener for the South Siders. That’s the first [...]
Sox are burrr–fect on a cold day in Cleveland
Last year, John Danks didn’t win his first game until June 6th. It’s only April 11th and Danks now has one victory. He had to earn this one, but a win is a win. If you watched the game, you might have been a tad frustrated. Sox gave him a 4-0 lead, but it appeared [...]
