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 [...]

Sox continue to be movers and shakers

The Sox, well Ken Williams, did it again. Seeing that his rotation needs an upgrade, the Sox GM went out and picked up Francisco Liriano from the Twins for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez. It was another in a series of great moves. Kevin Youkilis, Brett Myers and now Liriano. And he almost got Zack [...]

Winning just wasn’t in the cards for the Sox

So far, the 2nd round of inter-league play has been anything but friendly to the Sox. 6 games, 4 losses. I would say that’s not good. It’s the same song for the Sox..pitching!! They get good pitching and they have a good chance to win, they don’t, and they don’t. Let’s be positive, and start [...]

Sox get kicked in the As(s)-tros by Houston

Looking at the just past home-stand Sox fans had to think that they would clean up. Toronto is a up and coming club, but Seattle and Houston are already playing for next year. Unfortunately, 9 games played, but only 4 wins for the South Siders. They did take 2 of 3 from the M’s, which [...]

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 [...]

Sox and Cubs ready to mix it up, again

The Crosstown rivalry, or Windy City Rivalry to some is finally upon us. I’m sure it’ll still be a drunken bash for most Cub fans, who are putting up with a team that just isn’t that good. It’s not like the White Sox are bashing teams into oblivion either, but they do have a better [...]

Sox are down & up…then up & down

If you only watched the final 5 innings on Monday, and the first 5 innings on Tuesday, you would have left with a huge smile on your face. You see, in those 9 innings, the Sox scored 11 runs. Monday they actually came back from an early 3 run deficit, twice, to win. Game one [...]

Sox salvage a tough trip

Nice recovery by the White Sox. Loser of 3 straight, including a doubleheader to the Indians, the Sox won the final 2 games. They won 3 of 7 games on this trip, but it could have been worse. Well, it could have been better, but still. John Danks showed how great a pitcher he can [...]
