Sox go to Minnesota, discover they love Twins

After the beat-down administered by the Detroit Tigers over the weekend, the Sox wanted to go somewhere, or should I say, anywhere else. The baseball gods took them to Minnesota, to play a Twins team that is playing for next year. The Sox have taken advantage of the downtrodden Twins, winning the first 3 games [...]

Resilient Sox not ready to concede just yet.

Resilient. I think that’s the best way to describe the White Sox performance the past 2 days. On Tuesday, the came from 3 runs down, twice, to finally put away the Twins, 8-6. Wednesday, they almost came back from a 6-0 deficit, only to fall 7-6. Where was this resiliency in April, May, June & [...]

Fore or four! One is good news, the other not so much.

Ahhh, 1 thing is now crystal clear, the Cleveland Indians are for real. I have said over and over, that the Sox would not only catch the Indians, but pass them on there way to winning the AL Central. I guess the Indians didn’t want to roll over, and go away. Phil Humber is lucky [...]

Sox mark the end of their trip with one more win

Starting last Friday, the Sox looked dead in the water. 6 straight losses made even the most hardcore fans start looking toward next year.

Sox flex their muscles..The Red Sox, not the White Sox

They may toy with the rest of baseball, but the Red Sox have no answer for the White Sox. The Sox had won 7 straight against the boys from Beantown, including 4 straight in Chicago. You see I used the word had. The Red Sox finally stretched their considerable muscle in taking the final 2 [...]

If the Sox play their cards right, they can keep winning and add a new player.

The trade deadline is just days away and you can bet the White Sox will be in the thick of things. You’ve all probably read about the talk with the Cardinals regarding Colby Rasmus. Matt Thornton and Edwin Jackson are the named being bandied about. I first heard about this through a friend, who told [...]

Sox done in by Guillen.

Come on, how many of you thought when the Sox scored 3 runs in the 2nd inning today at Comerica Park, that they would go on to sweep the Detroit Tigers? I was feeling good, but I knew the game had 7 more innings to go. Damn baseball! The Tigers salvaged one game against the [...]
