After a down night, the Sox show the Twins their ‘O’ face

Tuesday was a tough day for every member of the White Sox organization. It was they day they laid to rest spring training special instructor Kevin Hickey. The whole team attended Hickey’s funeral in the morning. I still can’t believe that I am saying that. I know they are professional ballplayers, but they are people [...]

Heavy hearts for the South Siders, who won a game but lost a friend

I have no idea what MLB was thinking. On Tuesday, the Sox played the Tigers at the Cell. On Wednesday, they started a two game series in Anaheim. Friday they pay the Cubs at Wrigley. What did the Sox do to Bud Selig, and company? The Sox got mixed results in their 2 day, west [...]

Lately Floyd has been pitcher perfect

Where are all the guys that wanted to dump Gavin Floyd? You know, if Jake Peavy wasn’t around, Floyd would be your de facto ace. Floyd continues his early season surge, helping the Sox take down the Royals 5-0 in game 1 of a the 3 game series. In his last 28.1 innings, Floyd has [...]

Sox salvage a tough trip

Nice recovery by the White Sox. Loser of 3 straight, including a doubleheader to the Indians, the Sox won the final 2 games. They won 3 of 7 games on this trip, but it could have been worse. Well, it could have been better, but still. John Danks showed how great a pitcher he can [...]

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, [...]

The winds of change are blowing through the windy city

Coming into tonights series opener at Detroit, the Chicago White Sox record is 12-13. Not bad, not great, but still only a game-and-a-half out of first. This time last year, the team was 10-15, but struggling in many facets of the game. This year, the Sox are determined to make sure last year was an [...]

Sox sale past the Indians

Ah the White Sox. After suffering through their toughest stretch to date, the Sox won their second straight game, tonight against the Indians. It being May day had to have something to do with it, right. The 7-2 win over Cleveland is great, but to me the bigger story is Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel. [...]

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 [...]
