Posted in Once again proving that spring stats mean nothing, the Kansas City Royals led the Cactus and Grapefruit league with 230 runs. Today they scored zero. I estimated that Chris Sale would win between 14 and 16 games. If he pitches like he did today, he’ll win 32. His recently signed 5-year, 32-million dollar contract might [...]

Sox are done, but now it’s time to get started
When my teams are eliminated from post-season play, I just don’t care very much anymore. I love the Sox, but the final 3 games in Cleveland were just spring training games in the fall. I am glad they won 2 of 3, but still. So with the season done, and the players scattering all over [...]
Hustle and flow–that’s the 2012 edition of the White Sox
If anyone questioned how much the Sox want the division title, all they had to do to was watch today’s game against the Tigers. BTW: For the uninformed–Sox won 5-4. Alex Rios is playing like a man possessed. His take out of Omar Infante in the 5th inning was easily the play of the game. [...]
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 [...]
Sox swept out of Kansas City
Some teams just have other teams numbers. Kansas City plays their best baseball against the Chicago White Sox. This past weekends 3-game sweep wasn’t a shock to me because–read my first 7 words of this paragraph. The Royals have now won 5 of their past 6 games against the South Siders, and they still have [...]
Sox stick it to the Twins
After a mostly east coast trip the White Sox came home and took care of business, and the Minnesota Twins. For 3 games the Sox looked every bit of a playoff team. Clutch offense, good defense and timely pitching. Lets go with the offense. The last time I wrote I pointed out that Paul Konerko’s [...]
You-k can do it……….still
Was there anyone who thought Yu Darvish wasn’t going to pitch in the All-Star game? If you’ve ever been to spring training in either Florida or Arizona you know the Japanese media doesn’t miss a photo OP by anyone from their country. If the media is that rabid for the players, the fans must be [...]
Sox write their last Will after taking 2 of 3 from the Twins
I know you are all gonna cry over this recent Sox move. However I must tell you that today they DFA’d reliever Will Ohman. Ohman’s performance over the past 5 games has left a lot to be desired, as he has given up 6 earned runs in not even 5 innings. I think he sealed [...]
