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 are burrr–fect on a cold day in Cleveland

Last year, John Danks didn’t win his first game until June 6th. It’s only April 11th and Danks now has one victory. He had to earn this one, but a win is a win. If you watched the game, you might have been a tad frustrated. Sox gave him a 4-0 lead, but it appeared [...]

Sox lose, but Adam may not be done

The White Sox started their season in the unfriendly confines of the Ballpark in Texas. The Rangers are picked by many to return to the World Series for the 3rd straight year, while the Sox are picked by most to return home after their last game in October. At least the Sox can show where [...]

Optimism abounds as the Sox open 2012

84-78. I may be living in crazy land, but that will be the record the Sox finish with in 2012. To me, it is a freakin’ joke that some pundits have predicted 95 losses for the Sox. The Sox are set at every position, not without question marks, but set nonetheless. The closer is still [...]

Sox: Possibly (bad) news & other Notes

I am sitting here wondering what the Sox management are thinking. With the Tigers snatching up Prince Fielder today, I wonder if they just play for the future, or try and upgrade the team? My belief. If they weren’t paying huuuuuuuuuuuge money to Adam Dunn and Alex Rios, the Sox would be playing for tomorrow, [...]

White Sox, John Danks Agree To Five-Year $65M Deal

The new ace of the pitching staff has agreed to a five-year deal worth $65 million, as John DanksĀ has decided to stay with the club and handle responsibility of leading the rotation next Spring for the “Good Guys in Black.” It wasn’t easy an extension, considering Danks was dangled around in trade rumors by general [...]

Mark Buehrle’s career in Chicago is over

If you are a White Sox fan and have had your head in the sand all day, let me be the first to tell you that Mark Buehrle is now a Miami Marlin. Buehrle got a 4 year, 58-million dollar deal to join Ozzie Guillen in Florida. It’s a nice deal for the 32 year [...]

Bruce Almighty casts a Royal spell over the Sox

Thank God, the Sox have finally put the Kansas City Royals in their rear view mirror. The Royals may be 19 games under .500, but they just as soon be World Champs to the White Sox. The Royals won 11 of the 18 games this year, their first winning season against the Sox in the [...]
