In a world gone mad the Nats take a broom to the Sox

I don’t have much to say about last night except I was wrong. I thought the real Dylan Axelrod would show up, not the one who threw 40 pitches in the 1st inning. Right now the Nats are better than the Sox. Once again Washington waited until the 4th inning to do the lions share [...]

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 [...]

The Sox head into the All-Star break in 1st place

The White Sox go into the All-Star break with a 47-38 record, and in first place in the Central Division. They lead the Indians by 3 games, and 3.5 over the favorite Detroit Tigers. Through 85 games this season has gone better than even the most optimistic White Fans could have expected. The Sox even [...]

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 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 aren’t Dunn, know they can play with the Tigers

All spring the talk from outside observers was about the Sox competing with the almighty Detroit Tigers. Through 6 games I would say they are quite even. Sox won Saturday 3-2, but after losing the finale 3-1, each team has won three games. Besides Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd has been the Sox most consistent pitcher. [...]

Good news, bad news for the Sox over the past 2 days

I expected better results in the 3 games just played between the White Sox and Indians, but it just didn’t happen. Got good news before game 2 when MLB announced that Jake Peavy was named AL pitcher of the month. It was well deserved for Peavy, who threw 2 complete games, one shutout, and looked [...]

Sox implode…again, but now’s not the time to blow out the staff.

Damn that Ozzie Guillen. Put guys in position to succeed. Make the right moves with the bullpen. Manipulate a lineup full of young guys, or guys having horrible seasons, and he blew it again. Yep, time to fire the guy. I am talking about today, against Detroit. For all those calling for his head on [...]
