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. [...]

The Sox pitching is almost perfect (One already is)

We all know the strength of the White Sox was going to be their starting staff. So far, through 16 games it is playing out perfectly. 3 days ago, Mister perfect, Phil Humber joined a very exclusive club. If you don’t know what it is, pull you head out of the sand, unless you are [...]

Sox put on the O face, losing 3 of four to Baltimore

My observations after 4 games between the Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Hector Santiago is young, and may very well make a great closer. However, the home run ball is, and will continue to, hurt him. 4 innings pitched, 3 home runs allowed. That isn’t gonna work. When he is on, he is on, but [...]

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 [...]

Sox Vets Know It’s Win or Get Moved in 2012

If the White Sox players were hoping that the trade rumors surrounding the team would end once spring camp started they are finding out that they were very wrong. It’s obvious that this roster might have a short shelf life if the standings aren’t to the liking of general manager Ken Williams. That’s why the [...]

With trade winds blowing, Floyd blows away the Padres

It’s hard enough for these players to do their job under normal circumstances. I would think it would be totally distracting to do their job while trade rumors swirl. I am talking about Gavin Floyd, who made his first official start Tuesday in Peoria. Floyd’s name has been bandied about since the end of last [...]

Bruce Almighty casts a Royal spell over the Sox

Thank God, the Sox have finally put the Kansas City Royals in their rear view mirror. The Royals may be 19 games under .500, but they just as soon be World Champs to the White Sox. The Royals won 11 of the 18 games this year, their first winning season against the Sox in the [...]

Sox dismal season brings out the stupidity in others.

About a week left in the Sox season, and the winds of change are blowing. Ozzie gone, Greg Walker gone, blah, blah, blah. I read this nugget on the internet today: When will Ozzie Guillen get fired? I’m tired of him, the Sox need to change things if they want to succeed. Kenny Williams and [...]
