Posted in What a game? After traveling across country twice in the past 3 days, the Sox couldn’t be blamed if they came out a little flat. Not only did they not come out flat, they came out swinging. Especially Paul Konerko, who continues his career assault of the Cubs. The Captain hit an early 2-run home [...]

Heavy hearts for the South Siders, who won a game but lost a friend
I have no idea what MLB was thinking. On Tuesday, the Sox played the Tigers at the Cell. On Wednesday, they started a two game series in Anaheim. Friday they pay the Cubs at Wrigley. What did the Sox do to Bud Selig, and company? The Sox got mixed results in their 2 day, west [...]
Lately Floyd has been pitcher perfect
Where are all the guys that wanted to dump Gavin Floyd? You know, if Jake Peavy wasn’t around, Floyd would be your de facto ace. Floyd continues his early season surge, helping the Sox take down the Royals 5-0 in game 1 of a the 3 game series. In his last 28.1 innings, Floyd has [...]
Good news, bad news for the Sox over the past 2 days
I expected better results in the 3 games just played between the White Sox and Indians, but it just didn’t happen. Got good news before game 2 when MLB announced that Jake Peavy was named AL pitcher of the month. It was well deserved for Peavy, who threw 2 complete games, one shutout, and looked [...]
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. [...]
Dunn’s in Jeopardy, while Konerko reaches quite a milestone
Paul Konerko hit his 400th career home run today, in Oakland. I remember when he began his career with the Dodgers. Like most young players, he struggled adjusting to major league pitching. The Dodgers must be kicking themselves to this day that they let that guy go. Konerko took over the reigns from Frank Thomas [...]
The Sox pitching is almost perfect (One already is)
We all know the strength of the White Sox was going to be their starting staff. So far, through 16 games it is playing out perfectly. 3 days ago, Mister perfect, Phil Humber joined a very exclusive club. If you don’t know what it is, pull you head out of the sand, unless you are [...]
Sox put on the O face, losing 3 of four to Baltimore
My observations after 4 games between the Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. Hector Santiago is young, and may very well make a great closer. However, the home run ball is, and will continue to, hurt him. 4 innings pitched, 3 home runs allowed. That isn’t gonna work. When he is on, he is on, but [...]
