All-Star rosters announced, and not everyone should be happy

All-Star selections, minus one were announced today, and I don’t think there were any huge surprises as far as the Sox are concerned. Chris Sale made the team, but that was a given as he leads the A.L. with a 2.27 ERA. I think Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn were also locks. The Captain has [...]

It wasn’t easy, but the Sox win the season series against the Cubs

Come on, did any of you really think the Sox were gonna sweep the Cubs for the 2nd time this year? There wasn’t a chance in hell, not in a rivalry as heated as this one. I did think the Sox would win two of the games, but I’ll have to live with one. The [...]

Something special happening on the South Side of Chicago

News surrounding the White Sox. John Danks is on the mend, and Alejandro De Aza is alright too. Remember, De Aza took a wild pickoff throw off his knee Wednesday afternoon, and had to leave the game. Fortunately, he’s fine, and is back in the lineup Friday. The other bit of business deals with announcer [...]

Smooth Sale-ing for the Sox

Uh, yeah. That Chris Sale is pretty good. Sale’s favorite team growing up was the Rays, so today was perfect for the guy. Today, in front of friends and family, the Sox lefthander struck out 15 batters as the Sox beat the Rays, 2-1. It was 15 batters in just over 7 innings. Sale threw [...]

Sox feast on Indians hurlers

Wow! Is there any other way to describe the Sox offense? The Sox swept the Indians by winning the finale, 12-6. That is huge in itself, but the story is the scorching bats. Having gone over the dominance with the bats yesterday, I’ll touch on today. The Sox had another three, 3-run innings. All led [...]

To accomodate their offense, Sox are moving their next few games to the sun

It’s safe to assume that the White Sox have found their mojo. Over their past 4 games, the Sox offense has been unstoppable, averaging 10 runs in those contests. Maybe a player, or two, isn’t hitting real well, but 7 others are raking. Few of the notables. Paul Konerko tops the list. The Captain has [...]

What up Dog? Sox rough it against Twins

No matter what the records, Sox-Twins games are always exciting. The past 3 days have been no different. It’s always good when the Sox win 2 of 3. Don’t know how he relates to Sox baseball, but Snoop Dog was in the shizzle throwing out the first blizzle (my word). I wish he would have [...]

After a down night, the Sox show the Twins their ‘O’ face

Tuesday was a tough day for every member of the White Sox organization. It was they day they laid to rest spring training special instructor Kevin Hickey. The whole team attended Hickey’s funeral in the morning. I still can’t believe that I am saying that. I know they are professional ballplayers, but they are people [...]
