Posted in If you were in Vegas and had the choice to put money on which Sox starter would get a win over the Orioles, would any of you have put cash on Dylan Axelrod? What’s the word? I guess surprising would be the one I am looking for, that Axelrod would be the guy to stifle [...]

The Birds peck away at the Sox, take 3 of 4

Thank’s to Flowers Sox come up smelling like a rose
The sign of a good team–at least to me–is one that not only gets up for high end opponents, but also finds the motivation to crush struggling one’s too. I think most would have understood if the Sox played down to the Mariners over the weekend. Coming after the Sox sweep of the Yankees, and [...]
Sox Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees
Early August 1991, the Sox swept the Yankees in a 3-game set in Chicago. No one knew that it would take more than 21 years to do it again. In August 1991, Robin Ventura was a star 3rd baseman. Playing to his left was another pretty good player in short stop Ozzie Guillen. Who knew [...]
Sox strike gold in Ventura
Having spent the past 9 springs with the Sox, even I was skeptical after Robin Ventura was hired to manage the team. Ventura was a great player, but he had never managed, or coached, even on the little league level, so it was hard to gauge how he would do taking over a team that [...]
Peavy shows the Union League Boys & Girls Club what a perfect day looks like
Having spent the last 3 springs around Jake Peavy, I have watched him brighten the days of our military men and women as part of the Wounded Warrior program. That is during the spring through when things are a little less stressful. Peavy still does all he can during the regular season, but the stakes [...]
Sox swept out of Kansas City
Some teams just have other teams numbers. Kansas City plays their best baseball against the Chicago White Sox. This past weekends 3-game sweep wasn’t a shock to me because–read my first 7 words of this paragraph. The Royals have now won 5 of their past 6 games against the South Siders, and they still have [...]
Sox do a lot of yard work in Toronto
Good news for the Sox as Paul Konerko will be back in the lineup on Friday. The Captain has been out the past few days after suffering a mild concussion against the Royals. Like I said a few writings ago, you can’t, you won’t keep Konerko down for long. I was watching Dwayne Wise the [...]
Sox get all A’s this weekend, and on the home stand
Yeah, I feel horrible. There I am talking about Paul Konerko and his lack of extra base hits, and now he’s out with a concussion. I watched Jarrod Dyson run into him last week, but I thought Konerko would shake it off and continue playing. He rarely misses time with injuries, so the fact that [...]
