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 [...]

The Sox head into the All-Star break in 1st place

The White Sox go into the All-Star break with a 47-38 record, and in first place in the Central Division. They lead the Indians by 3 games, and 3.5 over the favorite Detroit Tigers. Through 85 games this season has gone better than even the most optimistic White Fans could have expected. The Sox even [...]

You-k can do it……….still

Was there anyone who thought Yu Darvish wasn’t going to pitch in the All-Star game? If you’ve ever been to spring training in either Florida or Arizona you know the Japanese media doesn’t miss a photo OP by anyone from their country.

Sox move two, take care of 3rd, and move into 1st

What a getaway day for the Sox. They get Kevin Youkilis from the Sox, and take over 1st place in the A.L. Central. Loved the Youkilis move, but hate to see Stewart and Lillibridge go. Being around the Sox in the spring, Lillibridge was always a class act, and a great interview. He did everything [...]

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 [...]

Red Sox Humble Humber

Johnny Vander Meer is safe. Phil Humber’s opportunity to match Vander Meer’s record of 2 straight no-hitters went by the wayside. It didn’t take long either. The perfect game was done after 1 hitter. The no hitter was over two batters later. The shutout went kaput after batter 4. It was fun while it lasted. [...]
