Posted in 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 [...]

Sox salvage a tough trip

Sox put on the O face, losing 3 of four to Baltimore
My observations after 4 games between the Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Hector Santiago is young, and may very well make a great closer. However, the home run ball is, and will continue to, hurt him. 4 innings pitched, 3 home runs allowed. That isn’t gonna work. When he is on, he is on, but [...]
After taking 2 of 3, Sox prove they can tame the Tigers
Whatever Robin Ventura is telling his team, keep repeating it. The Sox took two of three from the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. And every part of their game is clicking. Pitching, hitting and defense. The majority of the the team is the same as last year, but they look completely different. I get the [...]
Most of the Sox are hitting their stride–I said most
So far, so good, don’t ya think? After Monday’s win at Cleveland, the Sox’ record is at 2-2. It’s hard to judge anyone after just 4 games, but right now the Sox are doing most things right. Pitching looks good. Jake Peavy managed to keep the Rangers offense down, a bit. Gavin Floyd had a [...]
Sox lose, but Adam may not be done
The White Sox started their season in the unfriendly confines of the Ballpark in Texas. The Rangers are picked by many to return to the World Series for the 3rd straight year, while the Sox are picked by most to return home after their last game in October. At least the Sox can show where [...]
Optimism abounds as the Sox open 2012
84-78. I may be living in crazy land, but that will be the record the Sox finish with in 2012. To me, it is a freakin’ joke that some pundits have predicted 95 losses for the Sox. The Sox are set at every position, not without question marks, but set nonetheless. The closer is still [...]
Dunn should be done with talking about last year.
All but 2 players are in Sox camp as of Sunday, the 26th. Dayan Viciedo and Paul Konerko are the lone holdouts. Konerko should stay out as long as possible, because the second he walks in he’ll be mobbed by the media. I’m sure Viciedo will as well, but Konerko is the man on the [...]
Sox: Possibly (bad) news & other Notes
I am sitting here wondering what the Sox management are thinking. With the Tigers snatching up Prince Fielder today, I wonder if they just play for the future, or try and upgrade the team? My belief. If they weren’t paying huuuuuuuuuuuge money to Adam Dunn and Alex Rios, the Sox would be playing for tomorrow, [...]
