In a world gone mad the Nats take a broom to the Sox

I don’t have much to say about last night except I was wrong. I thought the real Dylan Axelrod would show up, not the one who threw 40 pitches in the 1st inning. Right now the Nats are better than the Sox. Once again Washington waited until the 4th inning to do the lions share [...]

Flowers in bloom as the Sox take game two

Watched a regular season game today, and a spring game broke out. The Sox didn’t look as sloppy as they did today on any day in February or March. Dayan Viciedo has to call off Alexei Ramirez in the 1st inning before they run into each other. The crowd wasn’t big, or loud so communication [...]

Sox win game one–just 161 left

Once again proving that spring stats mean nothing, the Kansas City Royals led the Cactus and Grapefruit league with 230 runs. Today they scored zero. I estimated that Chris Sale would win between 14 and 16 games. If he pitches like he did today, he’ll win 32. His recently signed 5-year, 32-million dollar contract might [...]

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 do a lot of yard work in Toronto

Good news for the Sox as Paul Konerko will be back in the lineup on Friday. The Captain has been out the past few days after suffering a mild concussion against the Royals. Like I said a few writings ago, you can’t, you won’t keep Konerko down for long. I was watching Dwayne Wise the [...]

Sox stick it to the Twins

After a mostly east coast trip the White Sox came home and took care of business, and the Minnesota Twins. For 3 games the Sox looked every bit of a playoff team. Clutch offense, good defense and timely pitching. Lets go with the offense. The last time I wrote I pointed out that Paul Konerko’s [...]

Sox are down & up…then up & down

If you only watched the final 5 innings on Monday, and the first 5 innings on Tuesday, you would have left with a huge smile on your face. You see, in those 9 innings, the Sox scored 11 runs. Monday they actually came back from an early 3 run deficit, twice, to win. Game one [...]

Youth was served in the finale in Seattle

I’ll admit it, it’s just 1 game in August of the 2011 season, but that Dayan Viciedo kid is pretty good. Let’s see a bloop single, 3-run home run, and a walk in his first game in a Sox uniform this year. He also looked pretty comfortable out in right, especially when he caught Ichiro’s [...]
