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. [...]
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 [...]
Hot Stove Baseball Update
The SF Giants announced that they have signed former Tigers SS Edgar Renteria for 2 years at $18.5M. The question that people are asking is if anyone else had even been in the bidding for him and if not, why did the Giants pay so much for him when all indications were that he was [...]
Something Sounds Fishy Here
The day before the beginning of the free agent signing period saw two more trades. One between the Yankees and White Sox while the other being between the Marlins and Cubs. In the American League transaction, the Yankees aquired 1B/OF Nick Swisher and minor league pitcher Kaneoka Texeira from the White Sox in exchange for [...]
League Divisional Series Update
Over the weekend, we saw the Dodgers send the favored Cubs home packing after playing the minimum. This is the perfect time for them to get hot and they’re on fire right now! I thought that Red Sox fans had it tough with their 86 year drought, but I was wrong. I feel for Cub [...]
Phillies, Dodgers and Red Sox All Take Game 1
Phillies vs. Brewers Behind the arm of Ace Cole Hammels andd the bat of 2B Chase Utley, with a little help from a Brewers error, the Phillies took game one. In game two, will CC Sabathia be too tired to pitch deep into this game after pitching on short rest 4 starts in a row? [...]
Pete Previews the AL & NL Divisional Series
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies I like both teams here, but I have to pick one. I’m not impressed with either team’s bullpen and I have to give the edge to the Brewers with their starting pitching, especially if Gallardo can pitch like he did last year. Catching, 1B, SS and 3B are just about [...]
