Sox in a New York state of mind

Nice job by the Sox, splitting the 4 game set in New York. With a little more offense they could have taken 3 of the 4, but with a little less offense they could have lost 3 of the 4. I would give the pitching a B+ in this series. I will be the first [...]

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 and Cubs ready to mix it up, again

The Crosstown rivalry, or Windy City Rivalry to some is finally upon us. I’m sure it’ll still be a drunken bash for most Cub fans, who are putting up with a team that just isn’t that good. It’s not like the White Sox are bashing teams into oblivion either, but they do have a better [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

After taking 2 of 3, Sox prove they can tame the Tigers

Whatever Robin Ventura is telling his team, keep repeating it. The Sox took two of three from the Detroit Tigers over the weekend. And every part of their game is clicking. Pitching, hitting and defense. The majority of the the team is the same as last year, but they look completely different. I get the [...]

Most of the Sox are hitting their stride–I said most

So far, so good, don’t ya think? After Monday’s win at Cleveland, the Sox’ record is at 2-2. It’s hard to judge anyone after just 4 games, but right now the Sox are doing most things right. Pitching looks good. Jake Peavy managed to keep the Rangers offense down, a bit. Gavin Floyd had a [...]

Sox lose, but Adam may not be done

The White Sox started their season in the unfriendly confines of the Ballpark in Texas. The Rangers are picked by many to return to the World Series for the 3rd straight year, while the Sox are picked by most to return home after their last game in October. At least the Sox can show where [...]
