Posted in Chris Sale, Phil Humber and Jose Quintana pitched this weekend for the Sox. I expected them to win 2, if not all 3 from the Dodgers. The one I was most nervous about was Friday’s game, only because Clayton Kershaw was throwing for the Dodgers. Sox led in every game, sometimes by 2 or more [...]

Royals had their fill of Phil, but loved the Sox pen
Good news. After 3 real bad starts, Phil Humber pitched great! Pitching in to the 7th inning, Humber only gave up 4 hits and 1 run, while striking out 7. The bullpen was another thing. Matt Thornton is going through a bad stretch right now. relieving Humber, Thornton came in with a man on, and [...]
Take 2–that’s exactly what the Indians did to the Sox
Sitting here listening to John Danks pitch against the Indians, made me think about the yesterday’s double header loss to the Tribe. What is wrong with Phil Humber? Since his perfect game three weeks ago at Seattle, Humber’s ERA is a whopping 13.74. in two of those game, Humber has allowed 8 earned or more. [...]
Sox can’t close the deal against the Tigers
Jake Peavy was recently named the A.L. pitcher of the month for the great work he did in April. He looked like he wanted to double up on the award in his first May start. Peavy once again had all his pitches working. The only batter that he had real trouble with was Alex Avila, [...]
The winds of change are blowing through the windy city
Coming into tonights series opener at Detroit, the Chicago White Sox record is 12-13. Not bad, not great, but still only a game-and-a-half out of first. This time last year, the team was 10-15, but struggling in many facets of the game. This year, the Sox are determined to make sure last year was an [...]
Sox sale past the Indians
Ah the White Sox. After suffering through their toughest stretch to date, the Sox won their second straight game, tonight against the Indians. It being May day had to have something to do with it, right. The 7-2 win over Cleveland is great, but to me the bigger story is Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel. [...]
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 [...]
In a season full of promise, Sox go home empty-handed.
To Quote Hawk Harrelson, “It’s over”! Really not much of a news flash. This season teetered on the brink of disaster most of the year. At least now, the team can start focusing on next year. I keep reading that Ozzie is all but gone. I still don’t agree with it, but 8 years is [...]
