Please Detroit, LEAVE TOWN!

Ok, I get it, Detroit is the best team in the Central. In nearly a replay from last Sunday, the Tigers went double digits on the Sox on Monday, beating them by 10, 14-4. They also had 21 hits. That was their 10th straight victory. Carlos Quentin made his return from the DL. He went [...]

If the Sox play their cards right, they can keep winning and add a new player.

The trade deadline is just days away and you can bet the White Sox will be in the thick of things. You’ve all probably read about the talk with the Cardinals regarding Colby Rasmus. Matt Thornton and Edwin Jackson are the named being bandied about. I first heard about this through a friend, who told [...]

The team is fine, but Adam may be Dunn

For the first time since April 16th, the Chicago White Sox are at the .500 mark. Thank’s to two wins over the fading Cubs, the Sox have a chance at making the All-Star break in great shape. Along with reaching the break even mark, the Sox have crawled to within 3.5 games of first place [...]

Danks down. Peavy up. Sox win

Good news or bad news, which one do you want first? I flipped a coin, it came up heads, so I guess it’s bad news first. John Danks suffered an oblique injury in Saturday’s game against the Nationals. The oblique is what I believe to be the side muscle. Lately, the word oblique has disappeared, [...]

P-O-W, Ramirez powers the Sox

The White Sox finished off the weekend by finishing off the Dodgers. They won 2 of 3 from the LA boys, but they should have swept them. Anyhow, could a player have had a better weekend than Alexei Ramirez? The Sox shortstop went 7-14 with 5 RBI. He went 0-5 in Friday’s game, so he [...]

Sox are Dunn with the Angels

Finally!!!! After catching, literally, no breaks through the first 37 games, the worm finally turned for the Sox. It took 9 innings, and 2+ hours to do so, but it finally happened. It looked like another loss to me. 1st inning: Hit, double play, hit, walk–no runs 2nd inning: Hit, walk–no runs. Juan Pierre was [...]

Pepperoni and Pineapple please

After losing 4 straight on their home field, I thought the Sox would be happy to get out on the road. Unfortunately, they forgot their bats back in Chicago. The Tampa Bay Rays took it to the Sox, winning easily 5-0. I guess I knew things weren’t going to go the Sox’ way in the [...]

9th & 10th inning disaster

What can you say other that the White Sox bullpen is bad right now. Or, are they overused? I’ll stick with bad. Let me back up a day. Alexei Ramirez may look like he all of 160 lbs, but he hits like a big slugger. 2 home runs for the shortstop, including the game winner [...]
