Posted in I remember being a kid, imagining playing on a team with me favorite baseball players. Nolan Ryan, Mark Fidrych, Carlton Fisk etal all on my side. It was something that would never happen, for me, or any kid with the same fantasies, but it was fun to think about. Fast-forward 30+ years and those wild [...]

Hustle and flow–that’s the 2012 edition of the White Sox
If anyone questioned how much the Sox want the division title, all they had to do to was watch today’s game against the Tigers. BTW: For the uninformed–Sox won 5-4. Alex Rios is playing like a man possessed. His take out of Omar Infante in the 5th inning was easily the play of the game. [...]
Sox living the high-life–with 20 games left they are still in first.
I hate the flu! I wonder, are there people out there who like it? Any of you guys get out and check out Miller beer guy himself, Windell Middlebrooks, on Tuesday? If you did, you found out what I already know. Middlebrooks is a great guy! I met him in Las Vegas as part of [...]
The season is winding down, but the Sox are still in first
I think the Sox owe the Angels a huge “Thank you.” With the Halos sweeping the Tigers, the Sox remain 2 games ahead of their closes chasers in the Central Division, even though they lost 2 of three to the Royals. First off, A.J. Pierzynski is taking PED’s about as much as I’m 9-feet tall. [...]
Thank’s to Flowers Sox come up smelling like a rose
The sign of a good team–at least to me–is one that not only gets up for high end opponents, but also finds the motivation to crush struggling one’s too. I think most would have understood if the Sox played down to the Mariners over the weekend. Coming after the Sox sweep of the Yankees, and [...]
Sox Sale-ing right along, take a broom to the Yankees
Early August 1991, the Sox swept the Yankees in a 3-game set in Chicago. No one knew that it would take more than 21 years to do it again. In August 1991, Robin Ventura was a star 3rd baseman. Playing to his left was another pretty good player in short stop Ozzie Guillen. Who knew [...]
Sox strike gold in Ventura
Having spent the past 9 springs with the Sox, even I was skeptical after Robin Ventura was hired to manage the team. Ventura was a great player, but he had never managed, or coached, even on the little league level, so it was hard to gauge how he would do taking over a team that [...]
Question marks remain as the Sox begin the 2nd half
The 2nd half of the season, or the stretch run begins with the Sox on the road. They get 3 games in Kansas City, 4 in Boston, finishing with 3 in Detroit. It’s not a make or break trip, but the Sox need to at least win 5 of these games. The Sox ended the [...]
