Posted in 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 [...]

Sox turn 3 wins, into 2 losses
Chris Sale, Phil Humber and Jose Quintana pitched this weekend for the Sox. I expected them to win 2, if not all 3 from the Dodgers. The one I was most nervous about was Friday’s game, only because Clayton Kershaw was throwing for the Dodgers. Sox led in every game, sometimes by 2 or more [...]
Floyd and Sale: Tale of 2 pitchers.
What a difference a day makes. Gavin Floyd and Chris Sale are heading in different directions. Saturday, Floyd gave up leadoff home runs for 3 straight innings. One of MLB’s biggest power hitters, Ichiro Suzuki got him twice. Ichiro came into the game with 1 home run, but somehow mustered the strength to go yard [...]
Something special happening on the South Side of Chicago
News surrounding the White Sox. John Danks is on the mend, and Alejandro De Aza is alright too. Remember, De Aza took a wild pickoff throw off his knee Wednesday afternoon, and had to leave the game. Fortunately, he’s fine, and is back in the lineup Friday. The other bit of business deals with announcer [...]
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 [...]
Sox find a broom, sweep the Cubs for the first time in more than a decade
One thing came out of the just completed Sox-Cubs Windy City Rivalry. The Sox are better than the Cubs at just about every position. Some could argue that shortstop is a toss up, but in terms of longevity, you have to take Alexei Ramirez. I digress. The Sox didn’t take 2 of 3 like I [...]
Wood retires from baseball, but the Sox retire the Cubs
What a game? After traveling across country twice in the past 3 days, the Sox couldn’t be blamed if they came out a little flat. Not only did they not come out flat, they came out swinging. Especially Paul Konerko, who continues his career assault of the Cubs. The Captain hit an early 2-run home [...]
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 [...]
