Posted in Once again proving that spring stats mean nothing, the Kansas City Royals led the Cactus and Grapefruit league with 230 runs. Today they scored zero. I estimated that Chris Sale would win between 14 and 16 games. If he pitches like he did today, he’ll win 32. His recently signed 5-year, 32-million dollar contract might [...]

Chris Sale to be featured on MLB Network
I write this on January 17th, which by my addition makes the start of spring training just 24 days away. I know I am chomping at the bit, and I bet you are too. If you are like me, you are wondering how the Sox will perform this season. They appear to be solid on [...]
The White Sox, The Fan-Cave and You—–YES, YOU!!!
Let me ask you Sox fans a question. How many of you would love to watch not just every White Sox game, but every baseball game from the comfort of your very own Fan Cave? Well you can, if you apply to be part of the MLB Fan Cave. https://secure.mlb.com/fancave/application2013.jsp#fbid=Z4GFFzO1hgc For a baseball fan, this [...]
Sox rock the Twins, continue their roll
Like I said, Adam Dunn will return this weekend and torch the Twins. I didn’t have the guy returning until the end of the year, like 5 or so games left. As usual, I was wrong. Dunn came back with a vengeance, even smacking his 39th home run of the year. Twins suck, so the [...]
Sox are purr-fectly overwhelmed after visiting the Tiger den
Last season the Tigers put a hurtin’ on the Sox, winning their last 7 games–all but one coming in September. I know this is a different year, but right now the story reads the same. The Sox went into Detroit in the first week of September and got swept, giving the Tigers 7 straight wins [...]
The Birds peck away at the Sox, take 3 of 4
If you were in Vegas and had the choice to put money on which Sox starter would get a win over the Orioles, would any of you have put cash on Dylan Axelrod? What’s the word? I guess surprising would be the one I am looking for, that Axelrod would be the guy to stifle [...]
Sox Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees
Early August 1991, the Sox swept the Yankees in a 3-game set in Chicago. No one knew that it would take more than 21 years to do it again. In August 1991, Robin Ventura was a star 3rd baseman. Playing to his left was another pretty good player in short stop Ozzie Guillen. Who knew [...]
Sox swept out of Kansas City
Some teams just have other teams numbers. Kansas City plays their best baseball against the Chicago White Sox. This past weekends 3-game sweep wasn’t a shock to me because–read my first 7 words of this paragraph. The Royals have now won 5 of their past 6 games against the South Siders, and they still have [...]
