Posted in 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 shore up the hot corner, get Youkilis from Red Sox
The White Sox acquired Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox! I can’t speak for you, but I am ecstatic about the move. I love Brent Morel, and Orlando Hudson has done a nice job holding the fort at 3rd, but Youkilis is a man! Not only can he hit and field, but he is [...]
Take 2–that’s exactly what the Indians did to the Sox
Sitting here listening to John Danks pitch against the Indians, made me think about the yesterday’s double header loss to the Tribe. What is wrong with Phil Humber? Since his perfect game three weeks ago at Seattle, Humber’s ERA is a whopping 13.74. in two of those game, Humber has allowed 8 earned or more. [...]
Sox can’t close the deal against the Tigers
Jake Peavy was recently named the A.L. pitcher of the month for the great work he did in April. He looked like he wanted to double up on the award in his first May start. Peavy once again had all his pitches working. The only batter that he had real trouble with was Alex Avila, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Fore! Sox lose the first 3, but tee off in game 4
It’s been 4 games for the Sox, and finally the bats came alive. Many guys were stinging the ball he first three games, but it was usually hit right at a guy. Adam Dunn started a bit slow, but he did reach base via the walk in 2 of the 3 games he played. However, [...]
