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 [...]

Thank’s to Flowers Sox come up smelling like a rose

The sign of a good team–at least to me–is one that not only gets up for high end opponents, but also finds the motivation to crush struggling one’s too. I think most would have understood if the Sox played down to the Mariners over the weekend. Coming after the Sox sweep of the Yankees, and [...]

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 [...]

Sox do a lot of yard work in Toronto

Good news for the Sox as Paul Konerko will be back in the lineup on Friday. The Captain has been out the past few days after suffering a mild concussion against the Royals. Like I said a few writings ago, you can’t, you won’t keep Konerko down for long. I was watching Dwayne Wise the [...]

Le Grand Royale–Sox get chewed up by Kansas City

The Sox were on roll, having won 9 of 12 before their series against the Royals. They spirits had to be buoyed even more having gone 4-2 against two of top teams in the A.L.West, the Texas Rangers and the pretenders from Anaheim, the Angels. They even won game 1 against the Royals, so things [...]

Led by A J ury of 1, Sox are Dunn with the Angels

A.J.Pierzynski. One name, one scorching player. Every time A.J. came to bat he either put it over the fence, or came close. He hit 3 bombs over the weekend against the Angels, giving him home runs in 5 straight games. With 21 round-trippers, he has already surpassed his career high of 18. With 61 RBI, [...]
