Posted in 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 Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees
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 [...]
Sox do a lot of yard work in Toronto
Good news for the Sox as Paul Konerko will be back in the lineup on Friday. The Captain has been out the past few days after suffering a mild concussion against the Royals. Like I said a few writings ago, you can’t, you won’t keep Konerko down for long. I was watching Dwayne Wise the [...]
Le Grand Royale–Sox get chewed up by Kansas City
The Sox were on roll, having won 9 of 12 before their series against the Royals. They spirits had to be buoyed even more having gone 4-2 against two of top teams in the A.L.West, the Texas Rangers and the pretenders from Anaheim, the Angels. They even won game 1 against the Royals, so things [...]

1 Comment »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 [...]
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 [...]
