You-k can do it……….still

Was there anyone who thought Yu Darvish wasn’t going to pitch in the All-Star game? If you’ve ever been to spring training in either Florida or Arizona you know the Japanese media doesn’t miss a photo OP by anyone from their country. If the media is that rabid for the players, the fans must be [...]

Sox in a New York state of mind

Nice job by the Sox, splitting the 4 game set in New York. With a little more offense they could have taken 3 of the 4, but with a little less offense they could have lost 3 of the 4. I would give the pitching a B+ in this series. I will be the first [...]

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 shore up the hot corner, get Youkilis from Red Sox

The White Sox acquired Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox! I can’t speak for you, but I am ecstatic about the move. I love Brent Morel, and Orlando Hudson has done a nice job holding the fort at 3rd, but Youkilis is a man! Not only can he hit and field, but he is [...]

It wasn’t easy, but the Sox win the season series against the Cubs

Come on, did any of you really think the Sox were gonna sweep the Cubs for the 2nd time this year? There wasn’t a chance in hell, not in a rivalry as heated as this one. I did think the Sox would win two of the games, but I’ll have to live with one. The [...]

Robinson and Offerman get tuned up for Sox-Cubs, part II

With inter-league play winding down, there has to be one more series between the Sox and Cubs. The Sox swept their cross-town rivals last month. Since these 2 met, the Sox have won 14 of 24, and are leading the A.L. Central by a game and a half over Cleveland. The Cubs have gone 7-18, [...]

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 [...]
