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 [...]

Sox continue to be movers and shakers

The Sox, well Ken Williams, did it again. Seeing that his rotation needs an upgrade, the Sox GM went out and picked up Francisco Liriano from the Twins for Eduardo Escobar and Pedro Hernandez. It was another in a series of great moves. Kevin Youkilis, Brett Myers and now Liriano. And he almost got Zack [...]

Sox are now in 2nd after being swept in Detroit

You all excited about the Brett Myers deal? It was a shrewd move by GM Ken Williams. The guys he gave up to get Myers may, or may not, make an impression in the bigs. What we do know is Myers is a legitimate big league pitcher. Myers fills a gaping hole that right now [...]

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 [...]

Sox turn 3 wins, into 2 losses

Chris Sale, Phil Humber and Jose Quintana pitched this weekend for the Sox. I expected them to win 2, if not all 3 from the Dodgers. The one I was most nervous about was Friday’s game, only because Clayton Kershaw was throwing for the Dodgers. Sox led in every game, sometimes by 2 or more [...]

Sox get kicked in the As(s)-tros by Houston

Looking at the just past home-stand Sox fans had to think that they would clean up. Toronto is a up and coming club, but Seattle and Houston are already playing for next year. Unfortunately, 9 games played, but only 4 wins for the South Siders. They did take 2 of 3 from the M’s, which [...]

Say cheese, Sox gets jacked by Colby

I wonder if Phil Humber’s rotation spot could be in jeopardy? After one more less than impressive start, I wonder if Robin Ventura will move Mr. Perfect game to the pen once John Danks is activated from the DL. If Jose Quintana continues to pitch like he has, it has to be a possibility. Gavin [...]

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 [...]
