Frank Thomas: making dreams come true

I remember being a kid, imagining playing on a team with me favorite baseball players. Nolan Ryan, Mark Fidrych, Carlton Fisk etal all on my side. It was something that would never happen, for me, or any kid with the same fantasies, but it was fun to think about. Fast-forward 30+ years and those wild [...]

Flowers in bloom as the Sox take game two

Watched a regular season game today, and a spring game broke out. The Sox didn’t look as sloppy as they did today on any day in February or March. Dayan Viciedo has to call off Alexei Ramirez in the 1st inning before they run into each other. The crowd wasn’t big, or loud so communication [...]

Sox are done, but now it’s time to get started

When my teams are eliminated from post-season play, I just don’t care very much anymore. I love the Sox, but the final 3 games in Cleveland were just spring training games in the fall. I am glad they won 2 of 3, but still. So with the season done, and the players scattering all over [...]

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 [...]

Of manny….Sox lose 2, but force the Indians to fire their manager

I took some time before writing so I wouldn’t just be writing from emotion. So there. After laying down for the 4th straight day, the Kansas City Royals got swept by the Tigers on Thursday. Detroit’s lead is now 1 1/2 over the Sox with 7 games remaining. I guess taking 2 of 3 from [...]

Sox rock the Twins, continue their roll

Like I said, Adam Dunn will return this weekend and torch the Twins. I didn’t have the guy returning until the end of the year, like 5 or so games left. As usual, I was wrong. Dunn came back with a vengeance, even smacking his 39th home run of the year. Twins suck, so the [...]

Sox take 2 of 3 from the Twins–blame it on Rio(s)

First off–where are all the the Sox fans? There are less than 30 games left in the season, and the Cell is half empty. FYI: The Sox are in 1st place and have a good shot at winning the Central Division. The Cubs are 30.5 games out, and have no shot. EMBARRASSING! Pitching and good [...]

The Birds peck away at the Sox, take 3 of 4

If you were in Vegas and had the choice to put money on which Sox starter would get a win over the Orioles, would any of you have put cash on Dylan Axelrod? What’s the word? I guess surprising would be the one I am looking for, that Axelrod would be the guy to stifle [...]
