Posted in All-Star selections, minus one were announced today, and I don’t think there were any huge surprises as far as the Sox are concerned. Chris Sale made the team, but that was a given as he leads the A.L. with a 2.27 ERA. I think Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn were also locks. The Captain has [...]

Sox write their last Will after taking 2 of 3 from the Twins
I know you are all gonna cry over this recent Sox move. However I must tell you that today they DFA’d reliever Will Ohman. Ohman’s performance over the past 5 games has left a lot to be desired, as he has given up 6 earned runs in not even 5 innings. I think he sealed [...]
Sox move two, take care of 3rd, and move into 1st
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 turn 3 wins, into 2 losses
Chris Sale, Phil Humber and Jose Quintana pitched this weekend for the Sox. I expected them to win 2, if not all 3 from the Dodgers. The one I was most nervous about was Friday’s game, only because Clayton Kershaw was throwing for the Dodgers. Sox led in every game, sometimes by 2 or more [...]
Sox get kicked in the As(s)-tros by Houston
Looking at the just past home-stand Sox fans had to think that they would clean up. Toronto is a up and coming club, but Seattle and Houston are already playing for next year. Unfortunately, 9 games played, but only 4 wins for the South Siders. They did take 2 of 3 from the M’s, which [...]
Floyd and Sale: Tale of 2 pitchers.
What a difference a day makes. Gavin Floyd and Chris Sale are heading in different directions. Saturday, Floyd gave up leadoff home runs for 3 straight innings. One of MLB’s biggest power hitters, Ichiro Suzuki got him twice. Ichiro came into the game with 1 home run, but somehow mustered the strength to go yard [...]
Sox not only sweep the Rays, but they piss them off too
If you follow baseball, you have heard about the histrionics of A.J. Pierzynski. He is the type of player you hate when you see him on the other team, but cheer for when he is on your team. He plays hard, never takes a day off, and always gets under the skin of opponents. It [...]
Smooth Sale-ing for the Sox
Uh, yeah. That Chris Sale is pretty good. Sale’s favorite team growing up was the Rays, so today was perfect for the guy. Today, in front of friends and family, the Sox lefthander struck out 15 batters as the Sox beat the Rays, 2-1. It was 15 batters in just over 7 innings. Sale threw [...]
