Told they’re not as good as the Tigers, Sox get downright defensive

How many times have you heard a baseball manager say, “The game is about pitching and defense?. We all shake our head, while muttering under our breathe, “Yeah, right!.” The Sox proved the truth in that statement win their 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in home opener for the South Siders. That’s the first [...]

With trade winds blowing, Floyd blows away the Padres

It’s hard enough for these players to do their job under normal circumstances. I would think it would be totally distracting to do their job while trade rumors swirl. I am talking about Gavin Floyd, who made his first official start Tuesday in Peoria. Floyd’s name has been bandied about since the end of last [...]

Green Day at US Cellular? Darn, it’s just the uniforms.

A broken right hand finished Brent Lillibridge’s season on Thursday. How many of you thought Brent Lillibridge would be a big part of the Sox this year? He didn’t find out me made the team until a day or two before the regular season began. When given the chance during the season, he shined. Remember [...]

Ejections, infighting, and winning. I love this game.

What an interesting 3 days for the Sox. Ozzie Guillen gets ejected, Jake Peavy and AJ Pierzynski are caught in a disagreement, and Paul Konerko keeps hitting home runs. Oh yeah, they also battled the crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cubs. After Alexei Ramirez was called out on a controversial at bat in the 6th inning, [...]

Sox see Red as White Sox tag em for a sweep

The Sox dominance over the Red Sox at Fenway park continues. 7 straight wins in beantown for the visitors from Chicago. A surprising end to a trip, that up until Monday hadn’t gone too well. They were 2-5 when the visit began, 5-5 when it ended. Nice way to start a 10 game home stand, [...]

Yo Bob-bay! Your old Sox clean up on your new Sox

I get it. I finally understand. Lose 5 of their first 7 game on the road trip, then go in to Boston and pound the Red Sox for 2 games. Yep, I see the White Sox plan crystal clear. I know the Sox have played the Red Sox very well recently, but coming in to [...]

P-O-W, Ramirez powers the Sox

The White Sox finished off the weekend by finishing off the Dodgers. They won 2 of 3 from the LA boys, but they should have swept them. Anyhow, could a player have had a better weekend than Alexei Ramirez? The Sox shortstop went 7-14 with 5 RBI. He went 0-5 in Friday’s game, so he [...]

in a snap, Peavy and the Sox sweep the Indians

I haven’t hid the fact that I am a Jake Peavy fan. It’s more for what he’s like off the field than his performance on the field. During spring, there is one player that I can guarantee will sign autographs every day–Peavy. There is one guy who have in depth conversations with fans about inane [...]
