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 [...]

Sox write their last Will after taking 2 of 3 from the Twins

I know you are all gonna cry over this recent Sox move. However I must tell you that today they DFA’d reliever Will Ohman. Ohman’s performance over the past 5 games has left a lot to be desired, as he has given up 6 earned runs in not even 5 innings. I think he sealed [...]

Sox move two, take care of 3rd, and move into 1st

What a getaway day for the Sox. They get Kevin Youkilis from the Sox, and take over 1st place in the A.L. Central. Loved the Youkilis move, but hate to see Stewart and Lillibridge go. Being around the Sox in the spring, Lillibridge was always a class act, and a great interview. He did everything [...]

Sox turn 3 wins, into 2 losses

Chris Sale, Phil Humber and Jose Quintana pitched this weekend for the Sox. I expected them to win 2, if not all 3 from the Dodgers. The one I was most nervous about was Friday’s game, only because Clayton Kershaw was throwing for the Dodgers. Sox led in every game, sometimes by 2 or more [...]

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 [...]

To accomodate their offense, Sox are moving their next few games to the sun

It’s safe to assume that the White Sox have found their mojo. Over their past 4 games, the Sox offense has been unstoppable, averaging 10 runs in those contests. Maybe a player, or two, isn’t hitting real well, but 7 others are raking. Few of the notables. Paul Konerko tops the list. The Captain has [...]

What up Dog? Sox rough it against Twins

No matter what the records, Sox-Twins games are always exciting. The past 3 days have been no different. It’s always good when the Sox win 2 of 3. Don’t know how he relates to Sox baseball, but Snoop Dog was in the shizzle throwing out the first blizzle (my word). I wish he would have [...]

After a down night, the Sox show the Twins their ‘O’ face

Tuesday was a tough day for every member of the White Sox organization. It was they day they laid to rest spring training special instructor Kevin Hickey. The whole team attended Hickey’s funeral in the morning. I still can’t believe that I am saying that. I know they are professional ballplayers, but they are people [...]
