White Sox Trade Carlos Quentin To San Diego For A Pair Of Pitching Prospects

The Chicago White Sox traded outfielder Carlos Quentin to the San Diego Padres on Saturday for two minor league pitchers. The White Sox acquired right-handed pitcher Simon Castro, 23, and left-hander Pedro Hernandez, 22. Quentin, a two-time All-Star, batted .257 with 107 home runs and 320 RBIs in four seasons with the “Good Guys in Black.” In 2011, he hit .254 [...]

Please Detroit, LEAVE TOWN!

Ok, I get it, Detroit is the best team in the Central. In nearly a replay from last Sunday, the Tigers went double digits on the Sox on Monday, beating them by 10, 14-4. They also had 21 hits. That was their 10th straight victory. Carlos Quentin made his return from the DL. He went [...]

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 [...]

Sox find a winning combination in the Emerald City.

The White Sox have finally found someone they can beat up. The Seattle Mariners are building what appears to be a pretty good team, but they are not there yet. The Sox haven’t done a lot, but they still have won the first 2 games of the 3 game series. Unfortunately, the Detroit Tigers refuse [...]

Sox find the range, stick it to Texas

I’ll start by giving a Carlos Quentin update. Q is out with a strained AC joint in his right shoulder. Let’s hope he can get back soon. Thank’s Cleveland. Nice job this weekend in Detroit. While the Indians were going tails up in Motown, the Sox were putting a hurtin’ on the Rangers. The Sox [...]

From field of dreams, to field of screams

I always thought the saying was, “Home field advantage”. It has been anything but for the Sox this season, and it has gotten worse over the past 9 days. Their record at the Cell is already an abysmal 28-36, but now they are losing players as well. AJ Pierzynski, Phil Humber, and now, maybe, Carlos [...]

As the season winds down, are the Sox winding up?

Back in spring training, I was told that the first 120 or so games are important, but it’s what teams do in their final 40-42 that determine the season. After game 120, the Sox are now 60-60. Time to play or go home (love cliche sentences) . Recently things have been looking up as the [...]

One Bruce was born to run, the other was born to pitch against the Sox

After a road trip that raised hopes of all fans of the White Sox, the team came home and laid an egg, at least on Friday. Bruce Chen is the best pitcher in the world. Well, that’s how it appears when he faces the Sox. Chen has pitched 20 innings against the Sox this year, [...]
