Sox take a walk about, almost come up empty

Good to see the Sox making the move that I expected them to make. Jake Peavy is done for the season. Peavy, who returned after a possible career ending lat injury, finished the season with a 7-7 record, and a 4.92 ERA. That is not even close to what he used to be, but for [...]

Sox go to Minnesota, discover they love Twins

After the beat-down administered by the Detroit Tigers over the weekend, the Sox wanted to go somewhere, or should I say, anywhere else. The baseball gods took them to Minnesota, to play a Twins team that is playing for next year. The Sox have taken advantage of the downtrodden Twins, winning the first 3 games [...]

Resilient Sox not ready to concede just yet.

Resilient. I think that’s the best way to describe the White Sox performance the past 2 days. On Tuesday, the came from 3 runs down, twice, to finally put away the Twins, 8-6. Wednesday, they almost came back from a 6-0 deficit, only to fall 7-6. Where was this resiliency in April, May, June & [...]

Youth was served in the finale in Seattle

I’ll admit it, it’s just 1 game in August of the 2011 season, but that Dayan Viciedo kid is pretty good. Let’s see a bloop single, 3-run home run, and a walk in his first game in a Sox uniform this year. He also looked pretty comfortable out in right, especially when he caught Ichiro’s [...]

Sox find a winning combination in the Emerald City.

The White Sox have finally found someone they can beat up. The Seattle Mariners are building what appears to be a pretty good team, but they are not there yet. The Sox haven’t done a lot, but they still have won the first 2 games of the 3 game series. Unfortunately, the Detroit Tigers refuse [...]

Sox have Tiger blood, plus 2 wins

I hope it’s not an aberration, but the Sox have come out like they plan on taking control of the division. They have won 2 straight in Detroit, beating Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer in the process. That’s the first time this season the Sox have beaten a Central team, not named Cleveland, in 2 [...]

4 games, 3 losses. Sox hate Canada

John Danks is 0-8. Yes, John Danks is 0-8! This may have been—forget that–it was, the ugliest start of his career. 6 runs in the first inning for the guy that many expected to break Mark Buehrle’s opening day starter streak this year. Is there something wrong with Danks? I’m not that close to the [...]

Peavy Begins ’11 Campaign On 15-Day DL; Opening Day Roster Finalized

Come October on the South Side, will it be all smiles for Jake, White Sox? Could it be, that as important as Peavy is to the team’s fortunes; the White Sox could be banking on him too much? Love for the Good Guys in Black: “The three best teams are the White Sox, the Twins [...]
