Posted in Sitting here listening to John Danks pitch against the Indians, made me think about the yesterday’s double header loss to the Tribe. What is wrong with Phil Humber? Since his perfect game three weeks ago at Seattle, Humber’s ERA is a whopping 13.74. in two of those game, Humber has allowed 8 earned or more. [...]

Take 2–that’s exactly what the Indians did to the Sox

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. [...]
Sox can’t close the deal against the Tigers
Jake Peavy was recently named the A.L. pitcher of the month for the great work he did in April. He looked like he wanted to double up on the award in his first May start. Peavy once again had all his pitches working. The only batter that he had real trouble with was Alex Avila, [...]
The winds of change are blowing through the windy city
Coming into tonights series opener at Detroit, the Chicago White Sox record is 12-13. Not bad, not great, but still only a game-and-a-half out of first. This time last year, the team was 10-15, but struggling in many facets of the game. This year, the Sox are determined to make sure last year was an [...]
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 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 [...]
Told they’re not as good as the Tigers, Sox get downright defensive
How many times have you heard a baseball manager say, “The game is about pitching and defense?. We all shake our head, while muttering under our breathe, “Yeah, right!.” The Sox proved the truth in that statement win their 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in home opener for the South Siders. That’s the first [...]
