Sox take 2 of 3 from the Twins–blame it on Rio(s)

First off–where are all the the Sox fans? There are less than 30 games left in the season, and the Cell is half empty. FYI: The Sox are in 1st place and have a good shot at winning the Central Division. The Cubs are 30.5 games out, and have no shot. EMBARRASSING! Pitching and good [...]

Sox offense can drive a person batty, but they are still getting it done

The worst kept secret is no more. John Danks won’t pitch again until spring 2013. Having been out since May, I didn’t think he’d be back this year. He hadn’t even made any rehab starts, and it’s now August. Only the supreme optimist thought Danks would all of a sudden heal up than ride in [...]

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 [...]

Sox sale past the Indians

Ah the White Sox. After suffering through their toughest stretch to date, the Sox won their second straight game, tonight against the Indians. It being May day had to have something to do with it, right. The 7-2 win over Cleveland is great, but to me the bigger story is Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel. [...]

Dunn’s in Jeopardy, while Konerko reaches quite a milestone

Paul Konerko hit his 400th career home run today, in Oakland. I remember when he began his career with the Dodgers. Like most young players, he struggled adjusting to major league pitching. The Dodgers must be kicking themselves to this day that they let that guy go. Konerko took over the reigns from Frank Thomas [...]

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 [...]

Most of the Sox are hitting their stride–I said most

So far, so good, don’t ya think? After Monday’s win at Cleveland, the Sox’ record is at 2-2. It’s hard to judge anyone after just 4 games, but right now the Sox are doing most things right. Pitching looks good. Jake Peavy managed to keep the Rangers offense down, a bit. Gavin Floyd had a [...]
