Sox making moves while moving toward a Division title

Thank god the Sox are done with the Royals. Those guys may be near the bottom of the Central Division, but they beat the bejeezus out of the South Siders. Only one time did the Sox win a series against their rivals. If the Royals play as well against the Tigers as they do the [...]

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 [...]

Question marks remain as the Sox begin the 2nd half

The 2nd half of the season, or the stretch run begins with the Sox on the road. They get 3 games in Kansas City, 4 in Boston, finishing with 3 in Detroit. It’s not a make or break trip, but the Sox need to at least win 5 of these games. The Sox ended the [...]

Sox shore up the hot corner, get Youkilis from Red Sox

The White Sox acquired Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox! I can’t speak for you, but I am ecstatic about the move. I love Brent Morel, and Orlando Hudson has done a nice job holding the fort at 3rd, but Youkilis is a man! Not only can he hit and field, but he is [...]

Courtney Hawkins is excited, literally, to be part of the Sox organization

I think you have all heard by now that the Sox selected 13th in this year’s baseball draft. The last time they picked that spot, they grabbed Chris Sale, who has everyone in the Sox organization doing flips. This year, the Sox nabbed outfielder Courtney Hawkins out of Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. [...]

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 Vets Know It’s Win or Get Moved in 2012

If the White Sox players were hoping that the trade rumors surrounding the team would end once spring camp started they are finding out that they were very wrong. It’s obvious that this roster might have a short shelf life if the standings aren’t to the liking of general manager Ken Williams. That’s why the [...]

Sox quietly building quite a team

Day 3 of White Sox camp was relatively quiet. Manager Robin Ventura appears to be acclimating himself rather nicely. He is so non-discript, I guess I’ll compare him to a ninja. There have been times when I don’t see him at all, but seconds later I look and he’s standing right next to me. The [...]
