Flowers in bloom as the Sox take game two

Watched a regular season game today, and a spring game broke out. The Sox didn’t look as sloppy as they did today on any day in February or March. Dayan Viciedo has to call off Alexei Ramirez in the 1st inning before they run into each other. The crowd wasn’t big, or loud so communication [...]

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 [...]

Sox aren’t done, but they might be done

If Al Michaels was in Chicago today he would have said something like, “Do you believe in miracles?” Right now if you’re a White Sox fan, that’s the only thing to hope for. I hate to be a bearer of bad tidings, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Back on September 18th, the Sox [...]

Sox rock the Twins, continue their roll

Like I said, Adam Dunn will return this weekend and torch the Twins. I didn’t have the guy returning until the end of the year, like 5 or so games left. As usual, I was wrong. Dunn came back with a vengeance, even smacking his 39th home run of the year. Twins suck, so the [...]

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 are purr-fectly overwhelmed after visiting the Tiger den

Last season the Tigers put a hurtin’ on the Sox, winning their last 7 games–all but one coming in September. I know this is a different year, but right now the story reads the same. The Sox went into Detroit in the first week of September and got swept, giving the Tigers 7 straight wins [...]

Peavy shows the Union League Boys & Girls Club what a perfect day looks like

Having spent the last 3 springs around Jake Peavy, I have watched him brighten the days of our military men and women as part of the Wounded Warrior program. That is during the spring through when things are a little less stressful. Peavy still does all he can during the regular season, but the stakes [...]

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 [...]
