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 [...]

Thank’s to Flowers Sox come up smelling like a rose

The sign of a good team–at least to me–is one that not only gets up for high end opponents, but also finds the motivation to crush struggling one’s too. I think most would have understood if the Sox played down to the Mariners over the weekend. Coming after the Sox sweep of the Yankees, and [...]

Sox Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees

Early August 1991, the Sox swept the Yankees in a 3-game set in Chicago. No one knew that it would take more than 21 years to do it again. In August 1991, Robin Ventura was a star 3rd baseman. Playing to his left was another pretty good player in short stop Ozzie Guillen. Who knew [...]

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 [...]

Led by A J ury of 1, Sox are Dunn with the Angels

A.J.Pierzynski. One name, one scorching player. Every time A.J. came to bat he either put it over the fence, or came close. He hit 3 bombs over the weekend against the Angels, giving him home runs in 5 straight games. With 21 round-trippers, he has already surpassed his career high of 18. With 61 RBI, [...]

Sox are now in 2nd after being swept in Detroit

You all excited about the Brett Myers deal? It was a shrewd move by GM Ken Williams. The guys he gave up to get Myers may, or may not, make an impression in the bigs. What we do know is Myers is a legitimate big league pitcher. Myers fills a gaping hole that right now [...]

Youkilis return is a success, but that’s about it

The Sox-Red Sox series began as a coming home party for Kevin Youkilis, but ended as a coming out celebration for Cody Ross. That’s not a good thing for the Sox, which dropped 3 of 4 in Boston, and now lead the fast charging Tigers by just a game-and-a-half. A little hamstring tweak kept Youkilis [...]

Sox do what they were supposed to do in KC

We learned quite a bit about the Sox in the 3 games PASB (post all-star break). Adam Dunn brought his hitting shoes to Kansas City. That’ll show Ron Washington for not giving him an at bat in the mid-season classic. Dunn went yard 3 times in the 3 games, and now sits atop all of [...]
