A.J. yuks it up on MLB Network

You can describe A.J. Pierzynski by any number of names, but quiet would not be among them. Over his long career, Pierzynski has had many a run-in with media types, but when he wants, he can be one of the most entertaining people in baseball. If you watched him on FOX during last year’s playoffs [...]

Sox get kicked in the As(s)-tros by Houston

Looking at the just past home-stand Sox fans had to think that they would clean up. Toronto is a up and coming club, but Seattle and Houston are already playing for next year. Unfortunately, 9 games played, but only 4 wins for the South Siders. They did take 2 of 3 from the M’s, which [...]

Sox not sad to see the Jays leave town

White Sox have made 2 significant trades the past year, and they both involve the Blue Jays. I wonder if there will be more between the two after the Toronto took 2 of 3 from the South Siders. It wouldn’t surprise me if a Gavin Floyd for Travis Snider deal happens one day. I know, [...]

Say cheese, Sox gets jacked by Colby

I wonder if Phil Humber’s rotation spot could be in jeopardy? After one more less than impressive start, I wonder if Robin Ventura will move Mr. Perfect game to the pen once John Danks is activated from the DL. If Jose Quintana continues to pitch like he has, it has to be a possibility. Gavin [...]

Courtney Hawkins is excited, literally, to be part of the Sox organization

I think you have all heard by now that the Sox selected 13th in this year’s baseball draft. The last time they picked that spot, they grabbed Chris Sale, who has everyone in the Sox organization doing flips. This year, the Sox nabbed outfielder Courtney Hawkins out of Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. [...]

Floyd and Sale: Tale of 2 pitchers.

What a difference a day makes. Gavin Floyd and Chris Sale are heading in different directions. Saturday, Floyd gave up leadoff home runs for 3 straight innings. One of MLB’s biggest power hitters, Ichiro Suzuki got him twice. Ichiro came into the game with 1 home run, but somehow mustered the strength to go yard [...]

Something special happening on the South Side of Chicago

News surrounding the White Sox. John Danks is on the mend, and Alejandro De Aza is alright too. Remember, De Aza took a wild pickoff throw off his knee Wednesday afternoon, and had to leave the game. Fortunately, he’s fine, and is back in the lineup Friday. The other bit of business deals with announcer [...]

Get ready Sox fans, Jared Mitchell is about to blow into town

There was nothing more terrible than watching Jared Mitchell rip up his ankle in a meaningless 2010 spring training game in Tempe. Hobbling around, pre-surgery, had to be excruciating for him, even more than it was for all of us to watch. But what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. That saying is an [...]
