In a world gone mad the Nats take a broom to the Sox

I don’t have much to say about last night except I was wrong. I thought the real Dylan Axelrod would show up, not the one who threw 40 pitches in the 1st inning. Right now the Nats are better than the Sox. Once again Washington waited until the 4th inning to do the lions share [...]

Sox aren’t done, but they might be done

If Al Michaels was in Chicago today he would have said something like, “Do you believe in miracles?” Right now if you’re a White Sox fan, that’s the only thing to hope for. I hate to be a bearer of bad tidings, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Back on September 18th, the Sox [...]

Hustle and flow–that’s the 2012 edition of the White Sox

If anyone questioned how much the Sox want the division title, all they had to do to was watch today’s game against the Tigers. BTW: For the uninformed–Sox won 5-4. Alex Rios is playing like a man possessed. His take out of Omar Infante in the 5th inning was easily the play of the game. [...]

Sox take 2 of 3 from the Twins–blame it on Rio(s)

First off–where are all the the Sox fans? There are less than 30 games left in the season, and the Cell is half empty. FYI: The Sox are in 1st place and have a good shot at winning the Central Division. The Cubs are 30.5 games out, and have no shot. EMBARRASSING! Pitching and good [...]

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 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 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 [...]

Le Grand Royale–Sox get chewed up by Kansas City

The Sox were on roll, having won 9 of 12 before their series against the Royals. They spirits had to be buoyed even more having gone 4-2 against two of top teams in the A.L.West, the Texas Rangers and the pretenders from Anaheim, the Angels. They even won game 1 against the Royals, so things [...]
