Posted in The Sox, well Ken Williams, did it again. Seeing that his rotation needs an upgrade, the Sox GM went out and picked up Francisco Liriano from the Twins for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez. It was another in a series of great moves. Kevin Youkilis, Brett Myers and now Liriano. And he almost got Zack [...]

Sox continue to be movers and shakers
Sox stick it to the Twins
After a mostly east coast trip the White Sox came home and took care of business, and the Minnesota Twins. For 3 games the Sox looked every bit of a playoff team. Clutch offense, good defense and timely pitching. Lets go with the offense. The last time I wrote I pointed out that Paul Konerko’s [...]
Sox are now in 2nd after being swept in Detroit
You all excited about the Brett Myers deal? It was a shrewd move by GM Ken Williams. The guys he gave up to get Myers may, or may not, make an impression in the bigs. What we do know is Myers is a legitimate big league pitcher. Myers fills a gaping hole that right now [...]

1 Comment »Youkilis return is a success, but that’s about it
The Sox-Red Sox series began as a coming home party for Kevin Youkilis, but ended as a coming out celebration for Cody Ross. That’s not a good thing for the Sox, which dropped 3 of 4 in Boston, and now lead the fast charging Tigers by just a game-and-a-half. A little hamstring tweak kept Youkilis [...]
Sox do what they were supposed to do in KC
We learned quite a bit about the Sox in the 3 games PASB (post all-star break). Adam Dunn brought his hitting shoes to Kansas City. That’ll show Ron Washington for not giving him an at bat in the mid-season classic. Dunn went yard 3 times in the 3 games, and now sits atop all of [...]

The 2nd half of the season, or the stretch run begins with the Sox on the road. They get 3 games in Kansas City, 4 in Boston, finishing with 3 in Detroit. It’s not a make or break trip, but the Sox need to at least win 5 of these games. The Sox ended the [...]
The Sox head into the All-Star break in 1st place
The White Sox go into the All-Star break with a 47-38 record, and in first place in the Central Division. They lead the Indians by 3 games, and 3.5 over the favorite Detroit Tigers. Through 85 games this season has gone better than even the most optimistic White Fans could have expected. The Sox even [...]
You-k can do it……….still
Was there anyone who thought Yu Darvish wasn’t going to pitch in the All-Star game? If you’ve ever been to spring training in either Florida or Arizona you know the Japanese media doesn’t miss a photo OP by anyone from their country. If the media is that rabid for the players, the fans must be [...]
