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 [...]

Winning just wasn’t in the cards for the Sox

So far, the 2nd round of inter-league play has been anything but friendly to the Sox. 6 games, 4 losses. I would say that’s not good. It’s the same song for the Sox..pitching!! They get good pitching and they have a good chance to win, they don’t, and they don’t. Let’s be positive, and start [...]

Sox get kicked in the As(s)-tros by Houston

Looking at the just past home-stand Sox fans had to think that they would clean up. Toronto is a up and coming club, but Seattle and Houston are already playing for next year. Unfortunately, 9 games played, but only 4 wins for the South Siders. They did take 2 of 3 from the M’s, which [...]

Sox feast on Indians hurlers

Wow! Is there any other way to describe the Sox offense? The Sox swept the Indians by winning the finale, 12-6. That is huge in itself, but the story is the scorching bats. Having gone over the dominance with the bats yesterday, I’ll touch on today. The Sox had another three, 3-run innings. All led [...]

After a down night, the Sox show the Twins their ‘O’ face

Tuesday was a tough day for every member of the White Sox organization. It was they day they laid to rest spring training special instructor Kevin Hickey. The whole team attended Hickey’s funeral in the morning. I still can’t believe that I am saying that. I know they are professional ballplayers, but they are people [...]

Heavy hearts for the South Siders, who won a game but lost a friend

I have no idea what MLB was thinking. On Tuesday, the Sox played the Tigers at the Cell. On Wednesday, they started a two game series in Anaheim. Friday they pay the Cubs at Wrigley. What did the Sox do to Bud Selig, and company? The Sox got mixed results in their 2 day, west [...]

Lately Floyd has been pitcher perfect

Where are all the guys that wanted to dump Gavin Floyd? You know, if Jake Peavy wasn’t around, Floyd would be your de facto ace. Floyd continues his early season surge, helping the Sox take down the Royals 5-0 in game 1 of a the 3 game series. In his last 28.1 innings, Floyd has [...]
