Floyd and Sale: Tale of 2 pitchers.

What a difference a day makes. Gavin Floyd and Chris Sale are heading in different directions. Saturday, Floyd gave up leadoff home runs for 3 straight innings. One of MLB’s biggest power hitters, Ichiro Suzuki got him twice. Ichiro came into the game with 1 home run, but somehow mustered the strength to go yard [...]

Get ready Sox fans, Jared Mitchell is about to blow into town

There was nothing more terrible than watching Jared Mitchell rip up his ankle in a meaningless 2010 spring training game in Tempe. Hobbling around, pre-surgery, had to be excruciating for him, even more than it was for all of us to watch. But what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. That saying is an [...]

Sox not only sweep the Rays, but they piss them off too

If you follow baseball, you have heard about the histrionics of A.J. Pierzynski. He is the type of player you hate when you see him on the other team, but cheer for when he is on your team. He plays hard, never takes a day off, and always gets under the skin of opponents. It [...]

Smooth Sale-ing for the Sox

Uh, yeah. That Chris Sale is pretty good. Sale’s favorite team growing up was the Rays, so today was perfect for the guy. Today, in front of friends and family, the Sox lefthander struck out 15 batters as the Sox beat the Rays, 2-1. It was 15 batters in just over 7 innings. Sale threw [...]

To accomodate their offense, Sox are moving their next few games to the sun

It’s safe to assume that the White Sox have found their mojo. Over their past 4 games, the Sox offense has been unstoppable, averaging 10 runs in those contests. Maybe a player, or two, isn’t hitting real well, but 7 others are raking. Few of the notables. Paul Konerko tops the list. The Captain has [...]

What up Dog? Sox rough it against Twins

No matter what the records, Sox-Twins games are always exciting. The past 3 days have been no different. It’s always good when the Sox win 2 of 3. Don’t know how he relates to Sox baseball, but Snoop Dog was in the shizzle throwing out the first blizzle (my word). I wish he would have [...]

After a down night, the Sox show the Twins their ‘O’ face

Tuesday was a tough day for every member of the White Sox organization. It was they day they laid to rest spring training special instructor Kevin Hickey. The whole team attended Hickey’s funeral in the morning. I still can’t believe that I am saying that. I know they are professional ballplayers, but they are people [...]

Smilow puts a smile on Pierzynski’s face

I love writing a blog on the White Sox. I really love it when I can help people that love the Sox too. That leads me to 10-year old Haley Smilow. Haley wants to be a journalist some day, and as part of that dream her parents took a trip to seven different baseball parks [...]
