Sox Can’t Afford to Give More Pitching than They Receive
The Chicago White Sox have announced they are offering Holiday Packs, giving ticket buyers discounts on four packs of Upper Reserved or Lower Reserved tickets. And in one of the first 500 orders, fans receive a White Sox holiday ornament. It appears that the ornament is Paul Konerko and the White Sox image. Too [...]

Vizquel, Thome Warrant One More Shot
The next time you see them together might be in Cooperstown. It was a nice gesture to have to Cleveland legends Omar Vizquel and Jim Thome bring the line-up cards out for their respective teams when the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians squared off for the last time this season Thursday night in Cleveland.

2011 Fantasy Baseball Projections: Why You Should Buy Low on Chicago White Sox’s Alex Rios
Ubaldo Jimenez isn’t the only star of 2010 that has struggled this season. After a year in which Alex Rios hit 21 HRs, swiped 34 bases and hit .284 in the middle of a potent White Sox lineup, the 30-year-old center fielder has slumped through the first two months of 2011, posting a pathetic .201/.253/.306 slash with four HRs [...]
Chicago White Sox turn on power for 2011
The Chicago White Sox went into this off-season with plenty of work to do. They head toward spring training with a job well Dunn. Plenty of questions surrounded the offense heading into the fall and winter. Would catcher A.J. Pierzynski remain? Could they find a left-handed power hitter to compliment their line-up? And, most notably, [...]
Closing Argument in Chicago for the Sox
No set closer might be the best move for the Sox How patient can the White Sox be with their closer Bobby Jenks when Minnesota continues to stay hot on their heels? Jenks’ rollercoaster season has to stabilize if the Sox want to keep the Twins at bay in the American League Central or the [...]
Reflections on the 2010 White Sox: A Preview
The 2010 season is less than a month away, and here on the South side of Chicago (read: the western Chicago suburbs), White Sox fans are mostly talking about five topics in regards to the team’s upcoming campaign. The arms race: Say it with me, “Buehrle, Peavy, Danks, Floyd… Garcia” If there’s a case to [...]

Yesterday, Buehrle Was Perfect!
Image via Wikipedia Mark Buehrle led the White Sox to victory in grand fashion today, by tossing a perfect game, and his second career no-hitter. His first came on April 18th, 2007, also at U.S. Comiscular Field. This is only the 18th perfect game in MLB history, Randy Johnson being the last to do so [...]
White Sox Reflections 1 ½ Months In
I’ll let Paul Konerko and Ozzie Guillen sum up the White Sox season (15-18) through the halfway point in May. “We stink.” – Guillen “We’re just not good right now, that’s it.” – Konerko That pretty much sums it up, but let’s take a look at why the Sox are struggling so much. Offense The [...]
The White Sox at Week 2
We are 2 weeks into the season and I find the White Sox right where I expected them: hanging around and in the mix. Power bats are getting them their runs, and their pitching staff has done a good job. In the AL, only Seattle has allowed less runs than the Sox. For the Sox [...]
Reflections On the White Sox
2008 was an odd year in the AL Central. A lot of people–this commentator included– thought that the Tigers had the division won before pitchers and catchers even reported to camp. Oops. They ended up in last place. And while it took an extra game, the Chicago White Sox were your AL Central champs. Cue [...]
Chicago White Sox off Season Report
Season Wrap-up Baseball fans last saw the White Sox lose to the Rays in the divisional round of the playoffs. They were by no means a power during the season, but they play in a weak division and were able to stay above water enough to make it to the playoffs. Holes to Fill Their [...]
It’s A 2 Team Race in the AL Central
Kansas City Royals Unfortunately, they’re right where everyone thought they would be come August. Dead last in the AL Central. They have a solid closer, SP Zack Greinke has proved to be a solid starter as well and Jose Guillen has proved that he can still hit. Beyond that, the Royals have a very young [...]
Pete’s Picks: AL Central
AL Central 1. Tigers : They might have arguably the best line-up in all of baseball 1-9, but their pitching, in my opinion, is suspect past the first three starters and especially their bullpen! As good as their hitting will/should be in ’08, their pitching might be the great neutralizer. Outside of Verlander, there [...]
