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 [...]

Told they’re not as good as the Tigers, Sox get downright defensive

How many times have you heard a baseball manager say, “The game is about pitching and defense?. We all shake our head, while muttering under our breathe, “Yeah, right!.” The Sox proved the truth in that statement win their 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in home opener for the South Siders. That’s the first [...]

Sox: Possibly (bad) news & other Notes

I am sitting here wondering what the Sox management are thinking. With the Tigers snatching up Prince Fielder today, I wonder if they just play for the future, or try and upgrade the team? My belief. If they weren’t paying huuuuuuuuuuuge money to Adam Dunn and Alex Rios, the Sox would be playing for tomorrow, [...]

IN fighting, un-INspired play, IN-sure the Sox demise.

Hear that? Wait, there it is again. Oh, that’s the sound I hear. It’s the sound of the Chicago White Sox season collapsing. Let’s see. Ozzie wants a multi-year deal, or may not want to return next year. Rumors about the deteriorating relationship between Ozzie Guillen and General Manager Ken Williams have surfaced. Now here’s [...]

Don’t blame it on Rios…or should you?

It always tough when you are out of town on a job, but I have been so impressed with the Sox this week. General Manager Kenny Williams made it clear, sort of. Play better, or the team may be broken up. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf wants to win as badly as any owner in baseball. Let [...]

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 [...]

Jake’s no snake, can’t slither past Tigers

I felt the Sox had the game in the bag. They had doubled their hit output against Brad Penny 3 batters in to the game. Remember Penny had thrown one hit ball at the Sox over 7 innings the first time he faced them in April. They even added 2 runs. Jake Peavy pitching, no [...]

Our Sox heros throw up a couple of zeros

It was great watching Denny McClain and Mickey Lolich pitch this weekend for the Detroit Tigers. They really shut down the White Sox, combining for 2 straight shutouts. Oops, sorry..I’ve ben woken up.. Wait, it wasn’t the last 30 game winner, or the guy that once won 47 games over a two year span? It [...]
