Posted in I hope it’s not an aberration, but the Sox have come out like they plan on taking control of the division. They have won 2 straight in Detroit, beating Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer in the process. That’s the first time this season the Sox have beaten a Central team, not named Cleveland, in 2 [...]

New beginnings for the Sox, or is it the beginning of the end.
Wow, what an All-Star game. It is really surprising that the rating were down by almost 13% from last year–not!. The yawnfest was won by the NL for the 2nd straight year, but who really cares? Did you see how happy Carlos Quentin was in the introductions? It was nice to see. I wonder when [...]
2 games, 2 Twin killings
The easiest question in baseball has been answered. The final American League All-Star was announced yesterday, and guess what, Paul Konerko is headed to Arizona. It should have never come down to a fan vote, Konerko was overqualified, especially to anyone who follows baseball. With ESPN giving us serving, after serving, after serving, after serving, [...]
Minding their P’s and Q’s, Baseball sets All-Star roster.
Paul Konerko is not an All-Star. I thought it was a foregone conclusion as the man is having an All-Star season. It got me thinking, as both teams full rosters were announced today. Yes, they were announced today! Now the only way you can see Konerko in Arizona, on the 12th, is the ‘Final Say’ [...]
The team is fine, but Adam may be Dunn
For the first time since April 16th, the Chicago White Sox are at the .500 mark. Thank’s to two wins over the fading Cubs, the Sox have a chance at making the All-Star break in great shape. Along with reaching the break even mark, the Sox have crawled to within 3.5 games of first place [...]
Sox have tough time time brushing away Nats
First off, you won’t have John Danks to push around for 15 days, as the Sox placed the lefthander on the disabled list today. Danks suffered an oblique injury yesterday. The Sox replaced Danks with double A lefthander Hector Santiago. Santiago started in Birmingham, but he will be the last man in the pen with [...]
Taking 3 of 4, Sox happy to show the A’s the door.
Thankfully, the A’s are gone, not to be seen until next year. I have highlighted their many injury woes, but I haven’t pointed out their offense is 2nd to last in the American League. That is, except against the Sox, when they become the bay area bashers. They almost came back today. If not for [...]
Dial M for masterful. Sox looking good
If the White Sox are one of the most disappointing teams of 2011, the Mariners have to be the most surprising team of this season. The M’s came in to this season having lost 100 games 2 of the past 3 years, and started this season 6-13. Unlike the White Sox, the Mariners pulled themselves [...]
