Sox win game one–just 161 left

Once again proving that spring stats mean nothing, the Kansas City Royals led the Cactus and Grapefruit league with 230 runs. Today they scored zero. I estimated that Chris Sale would win between 14 and 16 games. If he pitches like he did today, he’ll win 32. His recently signed 5-year, 32-million dollar contract might [...]

Question marks remain as the Sox begin the 2nd half

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 [...]

Royals had their fill of Phil, but loved the Sox pen

Matt Thornton is going through a bad stretch right now. relieving Humber, Thornton came in with a man on, and [...]

Lately Floyd has been pitcher perfect

Where are all the guys that wanted to dump Gavin Floyd? You know, if Jake Peavy wasn’t around, Floyd would be your de facto ace. Floyd continues his early season surge, helping the Sox take down the Royals 5-0 in game 1 of a the 3 game series. In his last 28.1 innings, Floyd has [...]

Sox salvage a tough trip

Nice recovery by the White Sox. Loser of 3 straight, including a doubleheader to the Indians, the Sox won the final 2 games. They won 3 of 7 games on this trip, but it could have been worse. Well, it could have been better, but still. John Danks showed how great a pitcher he can [...]

According to MLB, The prospects for the White Sox are not good

So I was reading about baseball’s top prospects on MLB & the bleacher report. If you go by that, the Sox don’t have many top prospects in the top 100. To be more clear, they have 2 on one, and 1 on the other. Addison Reed was #100 on MLB, while he was 82 on [...]

Going back in time. Sox lost their mojo for Motown

I don’t mind staying at a hotel, but when I am charged 11 bucks for internet than I get pissed off. This blog may be late in coming, but I did write this Sunday night. Saturday, the Detroit Tigers humiliated the Sox. Sunday they ripped their heart out. In a game that was close for [...]
